Visualizing Genetic Influences on Human Brain Functions [PDF]
, 2003 Egan and colleagues (2003), in this issue of Cell, integrate genetics and functional brain imaging by showing that variation in the human brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene is associated with variation in episodic memory ability and in ...

Upregulation of Neurotrophic Factors Selectively in Frontal Cortex in Response to Olfactory Discrimination Learning [PDF]
, 2007 We have previously shown that olfactory discrimination learning is accompanied by several forms of long-term enhancement in synaptic connections between layer II pyramidal neurons selectively in the piriform cortex.

Activity-dependent self-wiring is a basis of structural plastisity in neural networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 Dynamical wiring and rewiring in neural networks are carried out by activity-dependent growth and retraction of axons and dendrites, guided by gudance molecules, released by target cells. Experience-dependent structural changes in cortical microcurcuts lead to changes in activity, i.e. to changes in information encoded.

Spatial embedding of neuronal trees modeled by diffusive growth [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 The relative importance of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors determining the variety of geometric shapes exhibited by dendritic trees remains unclear. This question was addressed by developing a model of the growth of dendritic trees based on diffusion-limited aggregation process.

Dynamic Image-Based Modelling of Kidney Branching Morphogenesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Kidney branching morphogenesis has been studied extensively, but the mechanism that defines the branch points is still elusive. Here we obtained a 2D movie of kidney branching morphogenesis in culture to test different models of branching morphogenesis with physiological growth dynamics. We carried out image segmentation and calculated the displacement
