Until the early 1980s, scientists accepted the findings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal – the father of modern neuroscience – that adult brains do not experience neurogenesis, the process in which the brain renews itself by producing new neurons. Experts started questioning this belief in the past few decades, however, after research confirmed that other […]

The scientific community has long believed that connection between different areas of the cerebral cortex gets disengaged and could no longer communicate effectively during the non-rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and when a patient is under anesthesia due to the loss of consciousness. However, a study published in The Journal of Neuroscience revealed that the brain remains active and interconnected during the […]
