The complete set of nucleic acid sequences composing chromosomes in humans, encoded as DNA, is known as the "human genome sequence." Neuroscientists predict that approximately 25% of this sequence has a regulatory function, ...
Music acquisition provides an excellent model of neural plasticity, and has become a hot research subject in neurology. Music performance provides an unmatched array of neural complexities revealing how neural networks are ...
(Medical Xpress)—When the mind is at rest, the electrical signals by which brain cells communicate appear to travel in reverse, wiping out unimportant information in the process, but sensitizing the cells for future sensory ...
