A re‐examination of anatomical plasticity in the rat retina

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1976
AbstractPrevious investigators have reported an increase in numbers of amacrine synapses in the inner plexiform layer (IPL) of the rat retina following light deprivation, and an increase in amacrine along with a decrease in bipolar synapses following light damage.

Plastic reduction for anatomical gingival fibromatosis

Oral Surgery, 2012
AbstractAim:  Anatomical gingival fibromatosis is an uncommon process involving the palatal gingival and maxillary tuberosity generally in a bilateral and symmetrical manner. Treatment varies from basic periodontal care to surgical removal when the condition causes difficulties with oral hygiene, is associated with secondary periodontal diseases or ...

An Anatomical Basis for Cortical Crossmodal Plasticity

The FASEB Journal, 2017
When a major sensory system is lost, the remaining sensorymodalities functionally reorganize the vacated neural territories through a process termed “crossmodal plasticity.” The mechanisms underlying this effect have been assumed to involve the in growth of projections from novel sources, and/or the unmasking of existing but ‘silent’ connections ...

Anatomical and Physiological Correlates of Plasticity in the Central Nervous System

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2008
Studies of decerebrate and spinal cats and monkeys as carried out by the authors over a number of years are reviewed. Factors responsible for early and late changes in reflex activity are considered. Hyperreflexia, as a late event, in chronic spinal animals is chiefly attributed to sprouting from afferent axons.

Anatomical plasticity of synapses in the lamina of the optic lobe of the fly

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1989
Abstract Insects are frequently assumed to have hard-wired nervous systems that fail to demonstrate functional plasticity. We have produced changes in synaptic frequency, and analysed their developmental time course, dynamics and reversibility, in the lamina underlying the compound eye of the fly, by exposing young adults to different

The Anatomic Data Sheet in Plastic Surgery

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1993
A graphic and written anatomic data sheet (ADS) for facial aesthetic surgery and body contour surgery is presented as a tool for: (1) analyzing surgical maneuvers and their effect on final outcome; (2) recording individual anatomic variations; (3) communicating data between office personnel and colleagues; (4) aiding in the treatment of the ...

Sensory learning and anatomical plasticity in barrel cortex

2016
Structural plasticity through de novo growth and retraction of dendritic spines is a proposed mechanism for the remodeling of synaptic structures and functional rewiring of neural circuitry. We investigated the role of ngr1, a candidate gene proposed to restrict anatomical plasticity, in tactile learning and basal cortical spine dynamics.

The Hippocampus as a Model for Studying Anatomical Plasticity in the Adult Brain

1975
The suggestion that intact axons might grow new branches (“sprout”) in response to damage of their neighbors appears to have been made at various times throughout the century-long argument that revolved around the issue of peripheral nerve regeneration. One of the earliest references was made by Haighton, who in 1795 reported a series of “physiological”
