Cortical plasticity differences in substance use disorders. [PDF]
Fundam ResAmong substances, opiates and psychostimulants are responsible for the most significant public health problems, yet few studies have characterized their similarities or differences in the cortical plasticity of individuals with these substance related ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation Induced Motor Map Plasticity Does Not Require Cortical Dopamine
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Background: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with motor rehabilitation is an emerging therapeutic strategy to enhance functional recovery after neural injuries such as stroke.

Familiarization: A theory of repetition suppression predicts interference between overlapping cortical representations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Repetition suppression refers to a reduction in the cortical response to a novel stimulus that results from repeated presentation of the stimulus. We demonstrate repetition suppression in a well established computational model of cortical plasticity ...

Heterosynaptic Plasticity in Cortical Interneurons [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2020 Persistent alteration of synaptic strength in response to neuronal activity has long been considered a substrate of learning and memory ([Hebb, 1949][1]). Classical Hebbian plasticity results from near-coincidental presynaptic and postsynaptic action potentials (APs), with the precise order ...

Frontiers in Neurology, 2013 Motor dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease is believed to arise primarily from pathophysiology in the dorsal striatum and its related corticostriatal and thalamostriatal circuits during progressive dopamine denervation.

Plasticity in visual cortex is disrupted in a mouse model of tauopathy
Communications Biology, 2022 Amalia Papanikolaou and Fabio Rodrigues et al. examine visual cortical function and intrinsic plasticity using the rTg4510 tauopathy mouse model. They demonstrate that, while basal visual cortical responses seem largely unaffected, intrinsic plasticity ...

Hebbian activity-dependent plasticity in white matter
Cell Reports, 2022 Summary: Synaptic plasticity is required for learning and follows Hebb’s rule, the computational principle underpinning associative learning. In recent years, a complementary type of brain plasticity has been identified in myelinated axons, which make up

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022 Parvalbumin-positive neurons are the largest class of GABAergic, inhibitory neurons in the central nervous system. In the cortex, these fast-spiking cells provide feedforward and feedback synaptic inhibition onto a diverse set of cell types, including ...

Neural Plasticity, 2019 Cerebral plasticity is the ability of the central nervous system to reorganize itself in response to different injuries. The reshaping of functional areas is a crucial mechanism to compensate for damaged function.
