Aging and neuroplasticity [PDF]

Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience, 2013
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 ...

Altered excitability of small cutaneous nerve fibers during cooling assessed with the perception threshold tracking technique

BMC Neuroscience, 2019
Background There is a need for new approaches to increase the knowledge of the membrane excitability of small nerve fibers both in healthy subjects, as well as during pathological conditions.

Microglia Depletion-Induced Remodeling of Extracellular Matrix and Excitatory Synapses in the Hippocampus of Adult Mice

Cells, 2021
The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a key role in synaptogenesis and the regulation of synaptic functions in the central nervous system. Recent studies revealed that in addition to dopaminergic and serotoninergic neuromodulatory systems, microglia also ...

Brain Neuroplasticity Leveraging Virtual Reality and Brain–Computer Interface Technologies

Italian National Conference on Sensors
This study explores neuroplasticity through the use of virtual reality (VR) and brain–computer interfaces (BCIs). Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections in response to learning, experience, and ...

The dark side of neuroplasticity [PDF]

Experimental Neurology, 2012
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.

Alteration in Cortical Activity and Perceived Sensation Following Modulated TENS

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
Over the last decades, conventional transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) has been utilized as an efficient rehabilitation intervention for alleviation of chronic pain, including phantom limb pain (PLP).

Women’s neuroplasticity during gestation, childbirth and postpartum

Nature Neuroscience
This longitudinal study tracked the brains of 139 first-time mothers. Mothers showed lower cortical volume before childbirth that attenuated during the postpartum, with a distinct recovery rate as a function of the brain network and birth type. Pregnancy

Cerebellar pathology in motor neuron disease: neuroplasticity and neurodegeneration

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a relentlessly progressive multi-system condition. The clinical picture is dominated by upper and lower motor neuron degeneration, but extra-motor pathology is increasingly recognized, including cerebellar pathology. Post-

Psychostimulant Drugs and Neuroplasticity [PDF]

Pharmaceuticals, 2011
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 ...
