"This study elegantly shows how analysis of eye movement sheds more light on brain plasticity- an ability that is at the core of the brain's capacity to adapt and function. More specifically, it shows ...

For generations, adults with amblyopia were told their vision loss was permanent, a childhood problem that medicine could not ...

Young minds are easily molded. Each new experience rewires a child's brain circuitry, adding and removing synaptic ...

Amblyopia, often called lazy eye, develops when the brain fails to receive balanced input from both eyes early in life. One ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye and improvements in restoring vision. In 1999, I defined ...

CCN1 is a key factor for stabilizing brain circuits in adulthood, offering a therapeutic target for conditions, such as Alzheimer's and PTSD.

New research shows how CCN1, a protein secreted by astrocytes, is critical for stabilizing neural circuits in adulthood.

Vision loss has long been treated as a one-way street, a devastating endpoint rather than a problem the brain might quietly ...

Optogenetic climbing fiber activation regulates experience-dependent plasticity in the primary somatosensory cortex of mice, suggesting a role of the olivo-cerebellum in instructive signaling across ...
