Enhancing Neuroplasticity
Abstract
The Enhancing Neuroplasticity program will explore and develop stimulation methods and non-invasive devices to promote synaptic plasticity that is expected to impact higher cognitive functions. Key advances anticipated from this research will both create an anatomical and functional map of the underlying biological circuitry that mediates plasticity and optimize stimulation and training protocols to enable long-term retention. Once successfully identified, the underlying mechanisms of targeted plasticity training can be applied to a broad range of cognitive skill training within the Department of Defense, including foreign language learning, or data and intelligence analysis.
