  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.

  3. Development of the nervous system in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the_nervous...

    The development of the nervous system in humans, or neural development, or neurodevelopment involves the studies of embryology, developmental biology, and neuroscience.These describe the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which the complex nervous system forms in humans, develops during prenatal development, and continues to develop postnatally.

  4. Symbiogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiogenesis

    Among the many lines of evidence supporting symbiogenesis are that mitochondria and plastids contain their own chromosomes and reproduce by splitting in two, parallel but separate from the sexual reproduction of the rest of the cell; that the chromosomes of some mitochondria and plastids are single circular DNA molecules similar to the circular ...

    The science of neuroplasticity and the brain is the basis of our clinically proven brain training exercises. How the brain changes Brain plasticity science is the study of a physical process.

  6. Neuroplasticity is the ability of your brain to make new neural pathways, and change the ones that already exist, in response to changes in your behavior and environment.

  7. Evolution of sexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_sexual...

    The "libertine bubble theory" proposes that meiotic sex evolved in proto-eukaryotes to solve a problem that bacteria did not have, namely a large amount of DNA material, occurring in an archaic step of proto-cell formation and genetic exchanges.

  8. Evolution of bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_bacteria

    Bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms that can either have a bacilli, spirilli, or cocci shape and measure between 0.5-20 micrometers. They were one of the first living cells to evolve [9] and have spread to inhabit a variety of different habitats including hydrothermal vents, glacial rocks, and other organisms.

  9. Evolution of cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_cells

    In contrast to how animals reproduce and evolve from sexual reproduction, bacteria evolve by sharing DNA with other bacteria or their environment. There are three common mechanisms of transferring genetic material by HGT: Transformation: The bacteria assimilates DNA from the environment into their own
