Causal contributions of left inferior and medial frontal cortex to semantic and executive control

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Semantic control enables context-guided retrieval from memory, yet its distinction from domain-general executive control remains debated. We applied transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and pre-supplementary ...

Physical Exercise as an Epigenetic Modulator of Brain Plasticity and Cognition

open access: yesNeuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2017
A large amount of evidence has demonstrated the power of exercise to support cognitive function, the effects of which can last for considerable time. An emerging line of scientific evidence indicates that the effects of exercise are longer lasting than ...

Productivity‐Driven Optimization of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Parameters for IN718 Superalloy: Process Control, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates how optimizing laser power, scanning speed, and hatching distance in laser powder bed fusion can boost the productivity of Inconel 718 manufacturing by up to 29% while maintaining mechanical integrity. The work delivers a validated process window and cost–time analysis, offering industry‐ready guidelines for efficient additive ...

Morphological plasticity of astroglia: Understanding synaptic microenvironment

open access: yes, 2015
Memory formation in the brain is thought to rely on the remodeling of synaptic connections which eventually results in neural network rewiring. This remodeling is likely to involve ultrathin astroglial protrusions which often occur in the immediate ...

Intermediate Resistive State in Wafer‐Scale Vertical MoS2 Memristors Through Lateral Silver Filament Growth for Artificial Synapse Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In MOCVD MoS2 memristors, a current compliance‐regulated Ag filament mechanism is revealed. The filament ruptures spontaneously during volatile switching, while subsequent growth proceeds vertically through the MoS2 layers and then laterally along the van der Waals gaps during nonvolatile switching.

The actin-binding protein profilin II in neuronal plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Activity-dependent plasticity in neurons involves changes in synaptic transmission and connectivity. These changes lead to altered neuronal circuit properties and are thought to underlie learning and memory.

Lifelong cortical myelin plasticity and age-related degeneration in the live mammalian brain

open access: yesNature Neuroscience, 2018
Axonal myelin increases neural processing speed and efficiency. It is unknown whether patterns of myelin distribution are fixed or whether myelinating oligodendrocytes are continually generated in adulthood and maintain the capacity for structural ...

Optoelectronic Synaptic Devices Using Molecular Telluride Phase‐Change Inks for Three‐Factor Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Optoelectronic synaptic devices based on solution‐processed molecular telluride GST‐225 phase‐change inks are demonstrated for three‐factor learning. A global optical signal broadcast through a silicon waveguide induces non‐volatile conductance updates exclusively in locally electrically flagged memristors.

Cognitive Neural Prosthetics: Brain Machine Interfaces Based in Parietal Cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Systems neuroscience has recently emerged as an applied field in the form of neural prosthetic development. This integration of empirical systems neuroscience with engineering in order to develop functional interfaces between external devices and the ...

Synaptic plasticity in human cortical circuits: cellular mechanisms of learning and memory in the human brain?

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Neurobiology, 2019
Synaptic plasticity is the cellular basis of learning and memory, but to what extent this holds for the adult human brain is not known. To study synaptic plasticity in human neuronal circuits poses a huge challenge, since live human neurons and synapses ...
