Connectivity, plasticity, and function of neuronal circuits in the zebrafish olfactory forebrain [PDF]
, 2014 For most living animals such as worms, insects, fishes, rodents and humans, chemical cues from the environment (odorants) play critical roles in guiding behaviors important for survival, including preying, mating, breeding, and escaping.

Neurochemical changes in basal ganglia affect time perception in parkinsonians
Journal of Biomedical Science, 2018 Background Parkinson’s disease is described as resulting from dopaminergic cells progressive degeneration, specifically in the substantia nigra pars compacta that influence the voluntary movements control, decision making and time perception.

Structural plasticity of synaptic connectivity in the adult hippocampal mossy fiber projection [PDF]
, 2013 The brain has the lifelong ability to change itself based on new experiences such as learning and memory. This so called neuronal plasticity is reflected in the brain by structural and functional modifications which underlie our ability to learn ...

Glial glucose fuels the neuronal pentose phosphate pathway for long-term memory
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Brain function relies almost solely on glucose as an energy substrate. The main model of brain metabolism proposes that glucose is taken up and converted into lactate by astrocytes to fuel the energy-demanding neuronal activity underlying ...

The Impact of Studying Brain Plasticity
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 Neural plasticity, also known as neuroplasticity or brain plasticity, can be defined as the ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, functions, or connections.

Cannabinoid-induced actomyosin contractility shapes neuronal morphology and growth
eLife, 2014 Endocannabinoids are recently recognized regulators of brain development, but molecular effectors downstream of type-1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1R)-activation remain incompletely understood.

Whole-brain tracking of cocaine and sugar rewards processing
Translational Psychiatry, 2023 Natural rewards, such as food, and sex are appetitive stimuli available for animals in their natural environment. Similarly, addictive rewards such as drugs of abuse possess strong, positive valence, but their action relies on their pharmacological ...

Swimming exercise enhances brain plasticity in fish
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 It is well-established that sustained exercise training can enhance brain plasticity and boost cognitive performance in mammals, but this phenomenon has not received much attention in fish.
