McGill Researchers provide real-time evidence that neurons that fire out of sync, lose their link, exploring the mechanisms underlying “Stentian plasticity”
It has long been appreciated that sensory experience helps to refine the connectivity of the brain during development. In 1949, Canadian psychologist Donald Hebb proposed that when different brain cells were consistently active at the same time as one another and acted in synchrony, the connections they formed would be strengthened as a result of…

Specific brain cells are critical for linking stress controllability and future behaviour
UCalgary researchers discover that a group of ancient cells may play a key role in controlling stress Stress is ubiquitous, and at no time in recent memory has this been more evident than right now — on a global scale. Our survival depends on our ability to continually adjust and respond to ever-evolving challenges in our…
