Preconditioning tDCS facilitates subsequent tDCS effect on skill acquisition in older adults. [PDF]
Functional motor declines that often occur with advancing age-including reduced efficacy to learn new skills-can have a substantial impact on the quality of life.

Plasticity and dystonia: a hypothesis shrouded in variability. [PDF]
Studying plasticity mechanisms with Professor John Rothwell was a shared highlight of our careers. In this article, we discuss non-invasive brain stimulation techniques which aim to induce and quantify plasticity, the mechanisms and nature of their ...

Artificial metaplasticity prediction model for cognitive rehabilitation outcome in acquired brain injury patients [PDF]
Objective The main purpose of this research is the novel use of artificial metaplasticity on multilayer perceptron (AMMLP) as a data mining tool for prediction the outcome of patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) after cognitive rehabilitation.

Extreme Low Frequency Electromagnetic Field Stimulation Induces Metaplastic-Like Effects on LTP/ LTD
In modern societies, people are more likely to be exposed to technological devices that emit extreme low frequency (ELF, <; 300 Hz)-electromagnetic fields (EMFs).

Excitability of the motor cortex in patients with migraine changes with the time elapsed from the last attack [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) produced by single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the motor cortex can be an objective measure of cortical excitability.

In early Alzheimer disease (AD) models synaptic failures and upstreaming aberrant patterns of network synchronous activity result in hippocampal-dependent memory deficits. In such initial stage, soluble forms of Amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides have been shown to

Synaptic lability after experience-dependent plasticity is not mediated by calcium-permeable AMPARs
Activity- or experience-dependent plasticity has been associated with the trafficking of calcium-permeable AMPARs (CP-AMPARs) in a number of experimental systems.

Correction of amblyopia in cats and mice after the critical period
Monocular deprivation early in development causes amblyopia, a severe visual impairment. Prognosis is poor if therapy is initiated after an early critical period.
