Alterations in brain connectivity due to plasticity and synaptic delay
, 2017 Brain plasticity refers to brain's ability to change neuronal connections, as a result of environmental stimuli, new experiences, or damage. In this work, we study the effects of the synaptic delay on both the coupling strengths and synchronisation in a ...

Neuronal avalanches of a self-organized neural network with active-neuron-dominant structure [PDF]
, 2012 Neuronal avalanche is a spontaneous neuronal activity which obeys a power-law distribution of population event sizes with an exponent of -3/2. It has been observed in the superficial layers of cortex both \emph{in vivo} and \emph{in vitro}. In this paper

Fractal analyses of networks of integrate-and-fire stochastic spiking neurons
, 2018 Although there is increasing evidence of criticality in the brain, the processes that guide neuronal networks to reach or maintain criticality remain unclear.

A geographically distributed bio-hybrid neural network with memristive plasticity [PDF]
, 2017 Throughout evolution the brain has mastered the art of processing real-world inputs through networks of interlinked spiking neurons. Synapses have emerged as key elements that, owing to their plasticity, are merging neuron-to-neuron signalling with ...

Reactive oxygen species regulate activity-dependent neuronal plasticity in Drosophila
eLife, 2018 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been extensively studied as damaging agents associated with ageing and neurodegenerative conditions. Their role in the nervous system under non-pathological conditions has remained poorly understood.

Melatonin Reduces NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation by Increasing α7 nAChR-Mediated Autophagic Flux
Antioxidants, 2020 Microglia controls the immune system response in the brain. Specifically, the activation and dysregulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome is responsible for the initiation of the inflammatory process through IL-1β and IL-18 release.

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Huntington’s disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder caused by the expression of mutant huntingtin (mHtt). One of the main features of HD is the degeneration of the striatum that leads to motor discoordination. Pituitary adenylate cyclase-

Neuronal plasticity and neurotrophic factors in drug responses
Molecular Psychiatry, 2017 Neurotrophic factors, particularly brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and other members of the neurotrophin family, are central mediators of the activity-dependent plasticity through which environmental experiences, such as sensory information are ...

Critical neural networks with short and long term plasticity
, 2017 In recent years self organised critical neuronal models have provided insights regarding the origin of the experimentally observed avalanching behaviour of neuronal systems.

THE FUNDAMENTS OF NEURONAL PLASTICITY
Annals of the Russian academy of medical sciences, 2012 Plasticity of the nervous system is determined by the modification of efficacy of synaptic transmission: long- term potentiation and long- term depression. Different modern technical approaches such as: registration of ionic currents in single neuron, molecular- genetic analysis, neurovisualization, and others reveal the molecular mechanisms of ...
