The science of why you feel behind in life (your brain is lying to you)

This brief highlights why the Mind & Brain News item matters to mental health professionals. It documents artificial neurons that can communicate with living brain cells, demonstrated by flexible, low-cost devices that emit lifelike electrical signals capable of activating neural tissue in mouse brain samples. For psychotherapists, social workers, and other mental health clinicians, the example of neural interfacing illustrates how advances in neural signaling and neuroplasticity concepts are being modeled and explored, informing the neurobiological context relevant to mental health care.

Article Title: Artificial neurons successfully communicate with living brain cells

"Do brains stop growing after 25?"

Research suggests that brain plasticity, or the ability to reorganize and adapt, remains possible into old age. Studies have shown that even in people over 60, the brain can create new neurons and form new connections through neurogenesis and synaptogenesis.
