Brain Plasticity- Brain's Ability to Modify its Structure and Function

Brain has the capability to change itself and a new research is going to be conducted to investigate just that and find more about the what, why, how of this extraordinary cerebral process. The initial research team consists of prominent Neuroscientists from UC Berkely, Berkely lab, Livermore lab and Physicists, Engineers, Computer Scientists.

Brain plasticity forms the base for our ability to learn and improve ourselves. Brain keeps bettering its abilities with time, a lot fast during initial years but slowing as it gets older.

Named Kavli Institute for Fundamental Neuroscience (Kavli IFN), established as a partnership between The Kavli foundation and UCSF with an initial funding of 20 Million Dollars alongside additional startup funding, the Institute aims to develop greater insight into Brain plasticity with the edge coming from collaborating Physicists, Engineers and Computer Scientists. Kavli foundation has Pledged more than $100 million for this cause in association with its many University partners.
