Anatomical plasticity in the adult zebra finch song system. [PDF]
J Comp Neurol, 2012 AbstractIn many songbirds, vocal learning‐related cellular plasticity was thought to end following a developmental critical period. However, mounting evidence in one such species, the zebra finch, suggests that forms of plasticity common during song learning continue well into adulthood, including a reliance on auditory feedback for song maintenance ...

Nogo receptor 1 limits tactile task performance independent of basal anatomical plasticity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The genes that govern how experience refines neural circuitry and alters synaptic structural plasticity are poorly understood. The nogo-66 receptor 1 gene (ngr1) is one candidate that may restrict the rate of learning as well as basal anatomical ...

Plasticity of the anatomical traits of Rhododendron L. (Ericaceae) leaves and its implications in adaptation to the plateau environment [PDF]
Open Life SciencesThere is a variety of Rhododendron plants in the Tibetan plateau; yet, little is known about their variations in leaf anatomical traits and the implications for environmental adaptation.

Anatomical Correlates of Functional Plasticity in Mouse Visual Cortex [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1999 Much of what is known about activity-dependent plasticity comes from studies of the primary visual cortex and its inputs in higher mammals, but the molecular bases remain largely unknown. Similar functional plasticity takes place during a critical period in the visual cortex of the mouse, an animal in which genetic experiments can readily be performed ...

MALADAPTIVE PLASTICITY IN LEVODOPA-INDUCED DYSKINESIAS AND TARDIVE DYSKINESIAS: OLD AND NEW INSIGHTS ON THE EFFECTS OF DOPAMINE RECEPTOR PHARMACOLOGY [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2014 Maladaptive plasticity can be defined as behavioral loss or even development of disease symptoms resulting from aberrant plasticity changes in the human brain.

Genetic control of root anatomical plasticity in maize [PDF]
The Plant Genome, 2020 Abstract Root anatomical phenes have important roles in soil resource capture and plant performance; however, their phenotypic plasticity and genetic architecture is poorly understood. We hypothesized that (a) the responses of root anatomical phenes to water deficit (stress plasticity) and different environmental ...

Habitat-driven variability in morphological and anatomical traits of Dactyloctenium aegyptium (Poaceae) in semi-arid regions [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground The ability of Dactyloctenium aegyptium (L.) Willd. to adapt to diverse habitats reflects its remarkable ecological plasticity. Methods This study investigates the morphological and anatomical traits of D. aegyptium across six distinct habitat

Anatomical plasticity of adult brain is titrated by Nogo Receptor 1. [PDF]
Neuron, 2013 Experience rearranges anatomical connectivity in the brain, but such plasticity is suppressed in adulthood. We examined the turnover of dendritic spines and axonal varicosities in the somatosensory cortex of mice lacking Nogo Receptor 1 (NgR1). Through adolescence, the anatomy and plasticity of ngr1 null mice are indistinguishable from control, but ...
