Dendritic Compartmentalization of Learning-Related Plasticity. [PDF]

open access: yeseNeuro, 2022
The dendrites of cortical pyramidal neurons receive synaptic inputs from different pathways that are organized according to their laminar target. This architectural scheme provides cortical neurons with a spatial mechanism to separate information, which may support neural flexibility required during learning.

Neural plasticity of development and learning [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, 2010
AbstractDevelopment and learning are powerful agents of change across the lifespan that induce robust structural and functional plasticity in neural systems. An unresolved question in developmental cognitive neuroscience is whether development and learning share the same neural mechanisms associated with experience‐related neural plasticity.

Sensory Plasticity in Human Motor Learning [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Neurosciences, 2016
There is accumulating evidence from behavioral, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging studies that the acquisition of motor skills involves both perceptual and motor learning. Perceptual learning alters movements, motor learning, and motor networks of the brain. Motor learning changes perceptual function and the sensory circuits of the brain.

Learning with delayed synaptic plasticity [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, 2019
The plasticity property of biological neural networks allows them to perform learning and optimize their behavior by changing their configuration. Inspired by biology, plasticity can be modeled in artificial neural networks by using Hebbian learning rules, i.e.

Theta-burst TMS of lateral occipital cortex reduces BOLD responses across category-selective areas in ventral temporal cortex

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2021
Human visual cortex contains three scene-selective regions in the lateral, medial and ventral cortex, termed the occipital place area (OPA), medial place area (MPA) and parahippocampal place area (PPA). Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI),

Somatosensory Plasticity and Motor Learning [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2010
Motor learning is dependent upon plasticity in motor areas of the brain, but does it occur in isolation, or does it also result in changes to sensory systems? We examined changes to somatosensory function that occur in conjunction with motor learning. We found that even after periods of training as brief as 10 min, sensed limb position was altered and ...

Asymmetric inheritance of centrosomes maintains stem cell properties in human neural progenitor cells

open access: yeseLife, 2023
During human forebrain development, neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in the ventricular zone (VZ) undergo asymmetric cell divisions to produce a self-renewed progenitor cell, maintaining the potential to go through additional rounds of cell divisions, and ...

Learning to Learn with Feedback and Local Plasticity

open access: yesCoRR, 2020
Interest in biologically inspired alternatives to backpropagation is driven by the desire to both advance connections between deep learning and neuroscience and address backpropagation's shortcomings on tasks such as online, continual learning. However, local synaptic learning rules like those employed by the brain have so far failed to match the ...

Rapid and dynamic processing of face pareidolia in the human brain

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The human brain is specialised for face processing, yet sometimes objects are perceived as illusory faces. Here, the authors show that illusory faces are initially represented similarly to real faces, but the representation quickly transforms into one ...
