newuser123 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Hello everyone I'm new here and just started taking a interest in biology and I had a question : Do we have or will we have say in a decade or so the technology to rewire synaptic formations in the brain. Anyone who is an expert neuroscientist your answer is greatly appreciated and desperately needed. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzurain Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The brain is a relatively a delicate thing, and any temperament on the brain might result in mental injury or death. However, there's a good chance synaptic formations can be rewired in the future. Here's a link to an experimentation model : http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3099477/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewcellini Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 certain medications can stimulate neurogenesis and new connections, but this isn't as controlled of a process currently. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306452205003374 http://www.jneurosci.org/content/28/6/1374.short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
