A study by Professor Carlos Matute of the EHU reinforces a paradigm shift in neuroscience: Myelin goes from being a structural element to being an active component of brain function. Published in ...
Scientists have found that the process of adaptive myelination, which helps the brain learn new skills, can also promote addiction to opioids. Our brains, even in adulthood, continually adapt to what ...

Our brains, even in adulthood, continually adapt to what we do, strengthening or weakening neural pathways as we practice new skills or abandon old habits. Now, research by Stanford Medicine ...
The human brain remains adaptable even into adulthood alternately strengthening and weakening various neural pathways. And now, new research from Stanford Medicine scientists suggests that this ...
Scientists know that social isolation can alter brain structure and lead to the breakdown of myelin, the fatty coating that insulates nerve fibers in the brain. But they don't yet know exactly how or ...
In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...
Researchers uncover a surprising side effect of marathon running—temporary loss of brain myelin—hinting that the brain may burn its own insulation for energy during extreme physical stress. Brief ...
By Artemis Molai Throughout the course of an individual’s lifetime, new routines can impact their lifestyle. The ability of the brain to develop over time after gaining information and learning is ...
Researchers have discovered a new way that brain plasticity is controlled in early life, offering insight into the ...
