For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the brain developed during childhood, settled into a stable form in early ...
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 ...
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 ...
Your brain is constantly evolving. Throughout your life, it reshapes, adjusts, and grows stronger in response to learning, new experiences, and your habits. This amazing shape-shifting ability is ...
Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to adapt and learn in response to life experiences. It can allow you to gain new skills and recover from injury and trauma. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ...
The human brain generates up to 700 new neurons per day in the hippocampus alone, which raises the question: Can this capacity be intentionally enhanced? Neuroplasticity is no longer just a recovery ...
A cortical neuron treated with JRT, a synthetic molecule similar to the psychedelic drug LSD. Drugs like JRT might enable new treatments for conditions such as schizophrenia, without the ...
