Adenosine and neuronal plasticity

Life Sciences, 1996
Adenosine is considered an important neuromodulator of the nervous system acting at pre-, post- and non-synaptic levels. In the present review we describe how adenosine modifies paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), posttetanic depression (PTD), long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD) and depotentiation at the hippocampus, and therefore how

Plasticity of neuronal receptors

The FASEB Journal, 1989
This article describes ways in which receptors, key components of signal propagation through a synapse, can mediate changes in that propagation. Changes occur at four levels: in the signal‐transducing capability of a single receptor molecule, in the number of receptors per cell, in the subcellular placement of receptor molecules ...

Brain Aging and Neuronal Plasticitya

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1992
In the present paper three aspects of the aging processes and their physiopathological implications will be presented: neuronal death, the information handling capabilityof neurons, and the processes of interneuronal communication.

Neurotrophins and Neuronal Plasticity

Science, 1995
There is increasing evidence that neurotrophins (NTs) are involved in processes of neuronal plasticity besides their well-established actions in regulating the survival, differentiation, and maintenance of functions of specific populations of neurons.

Calcineurin regulation of neuronal plasticity

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2003
From the most basic of nervous systems to the intricate circuits found within the human brain, a fundamental requirement of neuronal function is that it be malleable, altering its output based upon experience. A host of cellular proteins are recruited for this purpose, which themselves are regulated by protein phosphorylation.

Psychomotor stimulants and neuronal plasticity

Neuropharmacology, 2004
Considerable evidence suggests that neuroadaptations leading to addiction involve the same glutamate-dependent cellular mechanisms that enable learning and memory. Long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) have therefore become an important focus of addiction research. This article reviews: (1) basic mechanisms underlying LTP and LTD,

Neuronal plasticity and Parkinson disease

Molecular and Chemical Neuropathology, 1995
The data reviewed here demonstrate a capacity for neuronal plasticity in the aged human brain, even when affected by neurodegenerative disorders. However, given their location and environment, these morphological changes may have beneficial or deleterious consequences.

Cellular and molecular neuronal plasticity

2015
The brain has the capability to adapt to function when tissue is compromised. This capability of adaptation paves the road to recovery and allows for rehabilitation after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). This chapter addresses neuroplasticity within the context of TBI.
