Preconditioning tDCS facilitates subsequent tDCS effect on skill acquisition in older adults. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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.

Frequency-dependent cannabinoid receptor-independent modulation of glycine receptors by endocannabinoid 2-AG

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2011
Endocannabinoids are known as retrograde messengers, being released from the postsynaptic neuron and acting on specific presynaptic G-protein-coupled cannabinoid (CB) receptors to decrease neurotransmitter release.

Plasticity and dystonia: a hypothesis shrouded in variability. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
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]

open access: yes, 2013
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.

Updating perspectives on spinal cord function: motor coordination, timing, relational processing, and memory below the brain

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience
Those studying neural systems within the brain have historically assumed that lower-level processes in the spinal cord act in a mechanical manner, to relay afferent signals and execute motor commands.

Extreme Low Frequency Electromagnetic Field Stimulation Induces Metaplastic-Like Effects on LTP/ LTD

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
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]

open access: yes, 2017
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.

Impairments of Synaptic Plasticity Induction Threshold and Network Oscillatory Activity in the Hippocampus Underlie Memory Deficits in a Non-Transgenic Mouse Model of Amyloidosis

open access: yesBiology, 2020
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2012
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

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Monocular deprivation early in development causes amblyopia, a severe visual impairment. Prognosis is poor if therapy is initiated after an early critical period.
