New theory of synapse formation in the brain -- ScienceDaily
The human brain keeps changing throughout a person's lifetime. Researchers have now been able to ascribe the formation of new neural networks in the visual cortex to a simple homeostatic rule. With this explanation, they also provide a new theory on the plasticity of the brain -- and a novel approach to understanding learning processes and treating brain injuries and diseases.
