Genetic control of root anatomical plasticity in maize [PDF]
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 ...

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 ...

Rapid Anatomical Plasticity of Horizontal Connections in the Developing Visual Cortex [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience, 2001 Experience can dramatically alter the responses of cortical neurons. During a critical period in the development of visual cortex, these changes are extremely rapid, taking place in 2 d or less. Anatomical substrates of these changes have long been sought, primarily in alterations in the principal visual input from the thalamus, but the significant ...

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 ...

Anatomical and functional plasticity in early blind individuals and the mixture of experts architecture [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 As described elsewhere in this special issue, recent advances in neuroimaging over the last decade have led to a rapid expansion in our knowledge of anatomical and functional correlations within the normal and abnormal human brain. Here, we review how early blindness has been used as a model system for examining the role of visual experience in the ...

Beyond efficiency: The multi-scale architecture of robust water transport in plants [PDF]
Quantitative Plant BiologyAgronomic research has long prioritized efficiency – optimizing resource use to maximize yield under stable conditions. However, as climate variability intensifies, efficiency alone might be insufficient to sustain agricultural production in the future ...

Nogo-A Represses Anatomical and Synaptic Plasticity in the Central Nervous System
Physiology, 2013 Nogo-A was initially discovered as a myelin-associated growth inhibitory protein limiting axonal regeneration after central nervous system (CNS) injury. This review summarizes current knowledge on how myelin and neuronal Nogo-A and its receptors exert physiological functions ranging from the regulation of growth suppression to synaptic plasticity in ...
