Brain Stimulation and Neuroplasticity [PDF]
Electrical or magnetic stimulation methods for brain or nerve modulation have been widely known for centuries, beginning with the Atlantic torpedo fish for the treatment of headaches in ancient Greece, followed by Luigi Galvani’s experiments with frog legs in baroque Italy, and leading to the interventional use of brain stimulation methods across ...

Mitochondria and Neuroplasticity [PDF]
The production of neurons from neural progenitor cells, the growth of axons and dendrites and the formation and reorganization of synapses are examples of neuroplasticity. These processes are regulated by cell-autonomous and intercellular (paracrine and endocrine) programs that mediate responses of neural cells to environmental input.

Gut Microbiota and Neuroplasticity [PDF]
The accumulating evidence linking bacteria in the gut and neurons in the brain (the microbiota–gut–brain axis) has led to a paradigm shift in the neurosciences. Understanding the neurobiological mechanisms supporting the relevance of actions mediated by the gut microbiota for brain physiology and neuronal functioning is a key research area.

Neuroplasticity and Braille Reading
This article brings review of the studies and their findings about neuroplasticity of the brain and Braille reading, as well as some connections between the two. The goal of the article is to combine knowledge from different disciplines, thus enabling development of new efficient programs in rehabilitation.

Aging and neuroplasticity [PDF]
Neuroplasticity can be defined as a final common pathway of neurobiological processes, including structural, functional or molecular mechanisms, that result in stability or compensation for age- or disease-related changes. The papers in this issue address the aging process, as well as depression, dementia, and stroke and a range of interventions ...

The dark side of neuroplasticity [PDF]
Whether dramatic or modest, recovery of neurological function after spinal cord injury (SCI) is greatly due to neuroplasticity--the process by which the nervous system responds to injury by establishing new synaptic connections or by altering the strength of existing synapses.

P-CRITICAL: A Reservoir Autoregulation Plasticity Rule for Neuromorphic Hardware [PDF]
Backpropagation algorithms on recurrent artificial neural networks require an unfolding of accumulated states over time. These states must be kept in memory for an undefined period of time which is task-dependent. This paper uses the reservoir computing paradigm where an untrained recurrent neural network layer is used as a preprocessor stage to learn ...

Bayesian longitudinal tensor response regression for modeling neuroplasticity [PDF]
A major interest in longitudinal neuroimaging studies involves investigating voxel-level neuroplasticity due to treatment and other factors across visits. However, traditional voxel-wise methods are beset with several pitfalls, which can compromise the accuracy of these approaches.

“Our brain is plastic and we do not know it” says French philosopher Catherine Malabou. This article argues that Joseph Conrad knew it. In the process it suggests that contemporary discoveries in the neurosciences about the “neuroplasticity” of the human brain can be supplemented by tracing the aesthetic and conceptual implications of the plastic ...

Psychostimulant Drugs and Neuroplasticity [PDF]
Drugs of abuse induce plastic changes in the brain that seem to underlie addictive phenomena. These plastic changes can be structural (morphological) or synaptic (biochemical), and most of them take place in the mesolimbic and mesostriatal circuits. Several addiction-related changes in brain circuits (hypofrontality, sensitization, tolerance) as well ...
