Norman Doidge, citing a study by Merzenich and colleagues, found that the brain allocates neurological resources to its most ...

Neural circuits produce electrical patterns very early in the brain's development process, even before senses are active.

Neurons that specifically reduce and modulate electrical brain activity have a greater influence on emotional memories than ...

The refractory period is the time interval following an action potential during which a neuron is either incapable of ...

Based on the characteristics discussed above, let's consider a few potential options and determine which one is not a ...
