What was of particular interest (in relation to the recovery of John Famechon) was the process of discovering what was involved in changing John’s brain and behaviour.

Research indicates that following the onset of an acquired brain injury (ABI), the brain initiates an immediate ...

In addition to rod photoreceptor loss, many mutations in rod photoreceptor-specific genes cause degeneration of other neuronal types. Identifying mechanisms of cell–cell interactions initiated ...

“Exercise increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor, a molecular factor that increases synaptogenesis. Synaptogenesis is the formation of new synapses that help with learning and memory,” he say ...

Sex hormones have been implicated in neurite outgrowth, synaptogenesis, dendritic branching, myelination and other important mechanisms of neural plasticity. Here we review the evidence from animal ...

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) family cytokines are key signaling molecules in both the innate and adaptive immune systems, mediating inflammation in response to a wide range of stimuli. The basic mechanism of ...
