Neurons that fire together, wire together” is not the full story. A novel mechanism explains how the brain can learn across ...

For most of the 20th century, the scientific consensus held that the adult brain was essentially fixed, unable to grow new connections or recover lost function after a critical window in childhood.

A new study just brought us closer to an answer, and what they found challenges some long-held assumptions about the aging brain's capacity for renewal. Using advanced single-cell sequencing ...
