  2. Neuroplasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroplasticity

    Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity or just plasticity, is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize and rewire its neural connections, enabling it to adapt and function in ways that differ from its prior state.

    Marian Cleeves Diamond (November 11, 1926 – July 25, 2017) was an American neuroscientist.She and her team were the first to publish evidence that the brain can change with experience and improve with enrichment, what is now called neuroplasticity.

  4. Brain science is constantly exploding and evolving, but current research shows various ways neuroplasticity is influenced. Chronic stress, for example, has been shown in studies to have a negative ...

  6. Evolution of nervous systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_nervous_systems

    The human brain has evolved around the metabolic, environmental, and social needs that the species has dealt with throughout its existence. As hominid species evolved with increased brain size and processing power, the overall metabolic need increased. Compared to chimpanzees, humans consume more calories from animals than from plants.

  7. Activity-dependent plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity-dependent_plasticity

    Activity-dependent plasticity is a form of functional and structural neuroplasticity that arises from the use of cognitive functions and personal experience. [1] Hence, it is the biological basis for learning and the formation of new memories.

  8. Somatic evolution in cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_evolution_in_cancer

    Cancer treatment drugs pose a strong selective force on all types of cells in tumors, including cancer stem cells, which would be forced to evolve resistance to the treatment. Cancer stem cells do not always have to have the highest resistance among the cells in the tumor to survive chemotherapy and re-emerge afterwards.

  9. Evolution of cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_cells

    As duplex DNA became the predominant form of the genetic material, the mechanism of genetic recovery evolved into the more complex process of meiotic recombination, found today in most species. It thus appears likely that sexual reproduction arose early in the evolution of cells and has had a continuous evolutionary history.
