The brain functions based on neural networks that change and adapt throughout a person's lifetime

Key facts about MS. And first things first: the course of the disease can be significantly influenced.

To prevent animals from bumping into one another, their sensory organs and motor skills are in constant communication.

Motor skills play a bigger role in vision than previously thought

Fear arises thanks to lightning-fast mechanisms – that do not always react correctly.

It's the neighborhood: From an assembly of a few nerve cells emerges information.

The brain is amazing, but vulnerable – which makes effective treatments all the more important. In fact, there is hope: stem cell therapy works in mice.

Different tasks require different cell types, some of which differ greatly in their biophysical properties and are highly specialized.

Our neurons form networks – but we are only now beginning to realize just how sophisticated our brain’s feedforward and feedback networks are.
