New research reveals that psilocybin and MDMA promote long-term PTSD recovery by physically remodeling myelin insulation 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 ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not only characterized by strongly encoded traumatic memories, but also by disrupted coordination across brain networks. New research shows that treatment with ...

Demyelinating diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, present a substantial and escalating burden. | Demyelinating diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS ...

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 ...

Through a collaborative effort, engineers and neuroscientists have created a method, using electrospun nanofibers as surrogate neuronal axons, to piece together the complexities of myelination. You ...

Black gold staining in postmortem human brain samples from three individuals reveals significantly less myelination in people carrying a copy of the APOE4 Alzheimer's disease risk gene. [Tsai ...

Researchers shed new light on how myelin loss might underpin aberrant brain activity which have been observed in people with multiple sclerosis. The study suggests that myelination, however patchy on ...

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 ...
