Isolated amyloid-β pathology is associated with preserved cortical plasticity in APOE4 Alzheimer's disease patients

, 2022
Background: Long-term potentiation (LTP) like-cortical plasticity impairment and cholinergic neurotransmission deficits have been widely demonstrated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients.

Bamboo Medical Application: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review presents a structured classification of bamboo's current use in healthcare. It organizes applications into medical textiles and medical devices, with further divisions based on function and level of invasiveness. It also examines material utilization based on bamboo's structural role, highlighting how it supports both protective and ...

A unified model for cross-modal plasticity and skill acquisition

Frontiers in Neuroscience
Historically, cross-modal plasticity following early blindness has been largely studied in the context of visual deprivation. However, more recently, there has been a shift in focus towards understanding cross-modal plasticity from the perspective of ...

Cross-Modal Reinstatement of Thalamocortical Plasticity Accelerates Ocular Dominance Plasticity in Adult Mice

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Plasticity of thalamocortical (TC) synapses is robust during early development and becomes limited in the adult brain. We previously reported that a short duration of deafening strengthens TC synapses in the primary visual cortex (V1) of adult ...

Effects of Neurotrophins on Cortical Plasticity: Same or Different?

, 2000
Neurotrophins are important regulators of visual cortical plasticity. It is still unclear, however, whether they play similar or different roles and which are their effects on the electrical activity of cortical neuronsin vivo.

Impairments in experience-dependent cortical plasticity in aged animals [PDF]

, 2009
Advanced age is associated with diverse behavioral and neurobiological deficits in comparison to adults. Potential mechanisms underlying age-related declines in neural function include impairments in neural plasticity. Here, we employ the motor system as

Physical exercise preserves adult visual plasticity in mice and restores it after a stroke in the somatosensory cortex

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2016
The primary visual cortex is widely used to study brain plasticity, which is not only crucial for normal brain function, such as learning and memory, but also for recovery after brain injuries such as stroke.

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify
