Cortical Plasticity: Learning from Cortical Reorganisation [PDF]

Current Biology, 2002
Neocortical circuits can undergo dynamic rearrangements, not only in response to injury, but also when new skills are acquired. But although training can lead to functional rewiring of the cortex, we are far from being able to reprogram an animal by manipulating its cortical circuitry directly.

Cell-type-specific plasticity of inhibitory interneurons in the rehabilitation of auditory cortex after peripheral damage

Nature Communications, 2023
Peripheral sensory organ damage leads to compensatory cortical plasticity that is associated with a remarkable recovery of cortical responses to sound. The precise mechanisms that explain how this plasticity is implemented and distributed over a diverse ...

Sound-evoked adenosine release in cooperation with neuromodulatory circuits permits auditory cortical plasticity and perceptual learning. [PDF]

Cell Rep
Summary: Meaningful auditory memories are formed in adults when acoustic information is delivered to the auditory cortex during heightened states of attention, vigilance, or alertness, as mediated by neuromodulatory circuits.

Synapse-Selective Control of Cortical Maturation and Plasticity by Parvalbumin-Autonomous Action of SynCAM 1

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Cortical plasticity peaks early in life and tapers in adulthood, as exemplified in the primary visual cortex (V1), wherein brief loss of vision in one eye reduces cortical responses to inputs from that eye during the critical period but not in ...

An Adolescent Sensitive Period for Social Dominance Hierarchy Plasticity Is Regulated by Cortical Plasticity Modulators in Mice

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
Social dominance hierarchies are a common adaptation to group living and exist across a broad range of the animal kingdom. Social dominance is known to rely on the prefrontal cortex (PFC), a brain region that shows a protracted developmental trajectory ...

Interplay between short- and long-term plasticity in cell-assembly formation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Various hippocampal and neocortical synapses of mammalian brain show both short-term plasticity and long-term plasticity, which are considered to underlie learning and memory by the brain. According to Hebb's postulate, synaptic plasticity encodes memory

Do studies on cortical plasticity provide a rationale for using non invasive brain stimulation as a treatment for Parkinson’s disease patients?

Frontiers in Neurology, 2013
Animal models of Parkinson’s disease (PD) have shown that key mechanisms of cortical plasticity such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) can be impaired by the PD pathology. In humans protocols of non-invasive brain stimulation,

Cortical Plasticity: Time For A Change [PDF]

Current Biology, 2002
Two recent studies have tested whether synaptic learning rules, inferred earlier from work on cell cultures and brain slices, apply in intact brains. The evidence indicates that they do, and reveals interesting implications for brain development and perceptual learning.

Plasticity of Horizontal Connections at a Functional Border in Adult Rat Somatosensory Cortex

Neural Plasticity, 2009
Horizontal connections in superficial cortical layers integrate information across sensory maps by connecting related functional columns. It has been hypothesized that these connections mediate cortical reorganization via synaptic plasticity. However, it
