BRAIN PLASTICITY AND BEHAVIOR [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Psychology, 1998
▪ Abstract  Brain plasticity refers to the brain's ability to change structure and function. Experience is a major stimulant of brain plasticity in animal species as diverse as insects and humans. It is now clear that experience produces multiple, dissociable changes in the brain including increases in dendritic length, increases (or decreases) in ...

Structural Plasticity in Neuronal Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Neuronal networks are established during development by the formation of connections (synapses) between neurons. Once formed, these synapses undergo experience-dependent modifications throughout the lifespan of the animal (synaptic plasticity ...

Characterization of astrocytes throughout life in wildtype and APP/PS1 mice after early-life stress exposure

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2020
Background Early-life stress (ES) is an emerging risk factor for later life development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We have previously shown that ES modulates amyloid-beta pathology and the microglial response to it in the APPswe/PS1dE9 mouse model ...

Plasticity in Brain Development [PDF]

open access: yesScientific American, 1988
The final wiring of the brain occurs after birth and is governed by early experience. A protein called MAP2 seems to take part in the molecular events that underlie the brain’s ability to ...

MSK1 regulates homeostatic and experience-dependent synaptic plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The ability of neurons to modulate synaptic strength underpins synaptic plasticity, learning and memory, and adaptation to sensory experience. Despite the importance of synaptic adaptation in directing, reinforcing, and revising the behavioral response ...

Spatial Competence and Brain Plasticity in Congenital Blindness via Sensory Substitution Devices

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
In congenital blindness (CB), tactile, and auditory information can be reinterpreted by the brain to compensate for visual information through mechanisms of brain plasticity triggered by training.

Principles of Neurorehabilitation After Stroke Based on Motor Learning and Brain Plasticity Mechanisms

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2019
What are the principles underlying effective neurorehabilitation? The aim of neurorehabilitation is to exploit interventions based on human and animal studies about learning and adaptation, as well as to show that the activation of experience-dependent ...

Impacts of Sleep Loss versus Waking Experience on Brain Plasticity: Parallel or Orthogonal?

open access: yesTrends in Neurosciences, 2020
Recent studies on the effects of sleep deprivation on synaptic plasticity have yielded discrepant results. Sleep deprivation studies using novelty exposure as a means to keep animals awake suggests that sleep (compared with wake) leads to widespread ...

Augmentation-related brain plasticity [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2014
Today, the anthropomorphism of the tools and the development of neural interfaces require reconsidering the concept of human-tools interaction in the framework of human augmentation. This review analyses the plastic process that the brain undergoes when it comes into contact with augmenting artificial sensors and effectors and, on the other hand, the ...
