Marathon brain” is real, a new study suggests. A neurologist explains why running hard temporarily reduces brain function.

New form of brain plasticity: How social isolation disrupts myelin production. ScienceDaily . Retrieved May 10, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2012 / 11 / 121111153935.htm ...

The researchers have called their hypothesis metabolic myelin plasticity. In the past, some neuroscientists thought the brain largely avoided burning fat for energy, even when it was stressed for ...

Myelin suppresses plasticity in the mature brain Peer-Reviewed Publication. Yale University. New Haven, Conn.-Yale School of Medicine researchers report in Science this week genetic evidence ...

“Myelin plasticity is fundamental to brain adaptation to neuronal activity, as it modifies myelin structure by increasing or decreasing the thickness of the myelin sheath. Our findings strongly ...

The goal is to find ways to stimulate myelin plasticity to regenerate affected nerve fibers in MS patients. MS is a chronic neurological condition that affects the central nervous system.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society (USA) has awarded a grant of 1 million dollars to Dr. Isabel Pérez-Otaño, who leads the Plasticity and Remodeling of Neural Circuits laboratory at the ...

Myelin, fatty tissue that insulates nerve cells in the brain, may be a renewable energy source for marathon runners and other endurance athletes. ... The idea is called myelin plasticity.

"We don't see increased myelin plasticity before the seizures start," Knowles said. "It is only seen after the seizures start." And when researchers blocked the myelin changes ...
