LTP-like cortical plasticity predicts conversion to dementia in patients with memory impairment [PDF]
Brain Stimulation, 2020 Background: New diagnostic criteria consider Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as a clinico-biological entity identifiable in vivo on the presence of specific patterns of CSF biomarkers. Objective: Here we used transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate the

Reperfusion does not improve impaired rapid-onset cortical plasticity in patients with severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) has been associated with impaired cognition in patients, but its effect on rapid-onset cortical plasticity is not known.

GABAergic inhibition in visual cortical plasticity [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2010 Experience is required for the shaping and refinement of developing neural circuits during well defined periods of early postnatal development called critical periods. Many studies in the visual cortex have shown that intracortical GABAergic circuitry plays a crucial role in defining the time course of the critical period for ocular dominance ...

Adult Visual Cortical Plasticity [PDF]
Neuron, 2012 The visual cortex has the capacity for experience-dependent change, or cortical plasticity, that is retained throughout life. Plasticity is invoked for encoding information during perceptual learning, by internally representing the regularities of the visual environment, which is useful for facilitating intermediate-level vision--contour integration ...

Otx2-PNN Interaction to Regulate Cortical Plasticity [PDF]
Neural Plasticity, 2016 The ability of the environment to shape cortical function is at its highest during critical periods of postnatal development. In the visual cortex, critical period onset is triggered by the maturation of parvalbumin inhibitory interneurons, which ...

eLife, 2020 Inhibitory autapses are self-innervating synaptic connections in GABAergic interneurons in the brain. Autapses in neocortical layers have not been systematically investigated, and their function in different mammalian species and specific interneuron ...

Scientific Reports, 2022 The activity of inhibitory interneurons has a profound role in shaping cortical plasticity. Somatostatin-expressing interneurons (SOM-INs) are involved in several aspects of experience-dependent cortical rewiring.

Top-down inputs enhance orientation selectivity in neurons of the primary visual cortex during perceptual learning. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2014 Perceptual learning has been used to probe the mechanisms of cortical plasticity in the adult brain. Feedback projections are ubiquitous in the cortex, but little is known about their role in cortical plasticity.

eLife, 2022 Sleep strongly affects synaptic strength, making it critical for cognition, especially learning and memory formation. Whether and how sleep deprivation modulates human brain physiology and cognition is not well understood.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2010 Pyramidal neurons of layer 5A are a major neocortical output type and clearly distinguished from layer 5B pyramidal neurons with respect to morphology, in vivo firing patterns, and connectivity; yet knowledge of their dendritic properties is scant.
