Experts say the more we challenge our brains as we age, the more resilient it becomes—and “learning a new instrument is a full-brain workout.” After the age of 40, the average brain decreases 5 ...
Neural circuits are refined by experience with higher plasticity at younger ages. Non-neuronal brain cells, known as astrocytes, were previously seen as passive support cells, but recent research has ...
Peer‑reviewed publication in ACS Chemical Neuroscience reveals that zalsupindole (DLX‑001), a first‑in‑class non‑hallucinogenic neuroplastogen, engages serotonergic receptors to drive rapid structural ...
Researchers have discovered that parts of the human brain age more slowly than previously thought—particularly in the region that processes touch. By using ultra-high-resolution brain scans, they ...
Understanding exactly how psychedelics promote new connections in the brain is critical to developing targeted, non-hallucinogenic therapeutics that can treat neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric ...
Neurons activated by the psychedelic 5-MeO-DMT light up across an entire hemisphere of the mouse brain. In this 3D image, colors cycle with depth and the tissue has been spatially distorted to mimic ...
If we travelled back 16,500 years to visit North America during the Ice Age, research suggests we would see our ancestors making use of psychedelic mushrooms. From cacti in ancient Mexico to ergot ...
