Neuronal plasticity and memory.

American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 1969
All of the somatic therapies useful in psychiatry modify synaptic membrane activity. Future investigations may discover means by which pathways can be selectively activated or deactivated, not only by learning but with the aid of chemical interventions.

Establishment and plasticity of neuronal polarity

Journal of Neuroscience Research, 1999
A fundamental feature of neurons is that they possess a polarized morphology, typified by a single long axon and several short dendrites. This cellular polarity forms the basis for directionalized rapid signaling, and for bi-directional trophic signaling, in neuronal circuits. While a catalog of structural, molecular, and functional differences between

Gangliosides and Neuronal Plasticity

1986
This volume contains the Proceedings of the Meeting "Neuronal plasticity and gangliosides" which was held at Mantova, Italy, on May 29-31, 1985, as a satellite to the Tenth Meeting of the International Society for Neurochemistry, (Riva del Garda, Italy, May 19-24,1985).

Neuromodulation and Neuronal Plasticity

2009
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the neuronal plasticity, discusses the evidence of plasticity in a number of disease states in which neuromodulation is a potential therapy, and reviews the evidence of the connection between neuromodulation therapy and neuronal plasticity. Advances in basic and clinical neurosciences over the past 20 years have

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.

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,

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.

Lipid Peroxides and Neuronal Plasticity

1999
Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission is a well defined form of neuronal plasticity. The induction of LTP at perforant path-dentate granule cell and Schaffer collateral-CA1 pyramidal cell synapses of the hippocampus is known to require influx of Ca2+ through postsynaptic N-methy1-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, while the expression of LTP

Diabetes and the plasticity of sensory neurons

Neuroscience Letters, 2015
Diabetes mellitus targets sensory neurons during the development of peripheral neuropathy. While polyneuropathy is often routinely considered as another 'microvascular' complication of diabetes mellitus, this concept may no longer address the complexities and unique qualities of direct neuronal involvement. The list of altered molecules and pathways in

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.
