Neurophysiological and Anatomical Plasticity in the Adult Sensorimotor Cortex
Reviews in the Neurosciences, 2006Evidence supporting the plastic capacity of the adult cortex is abundant. Changes have been associated with exposure to enriched environments, learning, peripheral lesions and central lesions. The initial loss of function caused by a lesion is generally followed by a certain amount of recovery that is believed to be due, at least in part, to adaptive ...

Phenotypic Plasticity of Anatomical Structures and Its Ecomorphological Significance
Netherlands Journal of Zoology, 1989Ecomorphologists have thus far paid little attention to phenotypic plasticity of anatomical structures. In this paper we present four cases of phenotypic plasticity in African cichlids, which we suppose to be adaptive responses to environmental changes. On the basis of these cases we hypothesize that the response of a plastic anatomical structure to an

Anatomical and Physiological Correlates of Plasticity in the Central Nervous System
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 1973Studies 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.

Retinocollicular projections in the neonatal rat: an anatomical basis for plasticity
Developmental Brain Research, 1982Abstract The ipsilateral retinotectal projection of the newborn rat is more prominent than that of the adult, and overlaps with the projection of the contralateral eye. Under normal developmental conditions the ipsilateral projection increases in density from the day of birth until the sixth postnatal day, then gradually retracts until the fiber ...

Nogo-A Represses Anatomical and Synaptic Plasticity in the Central Nervous System
Physiology, 2013Nogo-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 ...

Sensory learning and anatomical plasticity in barrel cortex
2016Structural 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.

Anatomical pathways and molecular mechanisms for plasticity in the barrel cortex
Neuroscience, 2002The barrel cortex has yielded a wealth of information about cortical plasticity in recent years. Barrel cortex is one of the few cortical areas studied so far where plasticity can be examined from birth through to adulthood. This review looks at plasticity mechanisms in three periods of life: early post-natal development, adolescence and adulthood ...

The Anatomic Data Sheet in Plastic Surgery
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1993A 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 ...
