Those experiences that leave traces in brain connectivity have long been known, but a pioneering study by researchers at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and the University of Technology TUD Dresden now shows just how massive these impacts really are. The findings in mice provide unprecedented insights into the complexity of large-scale neural … Leer más
We use our locomotor learning to teach ourselves how to run, get a drink, and walk so we can get around the world. But old age or illness can impair our ability to develop motor skills. Scientists examining the effects of supplemental oxygen on motor learning have discovered a potentially effective method to help people … Leer más
