Yin and Yang during synapse maturation in young brains
Synapse maturation and the timing of critical periods during brain development is governed by the balance of two signaling proteins with opposing functions.
Mice transmit acquired adaptability to their offspring
Research team at the University of Göttingen investigates neuronal plasticity in rodents
Does ignoring negative feedback lead to rigid behavior?
The loss of the flexibility to adapt to new tasks leads to perseverative errors and indicates that a person rigorously clings to past objectives. A research team from the Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) investigated the underlying deficits of information processing and their neural foundations.
