Age-Dependent Modulations of Resting State Connectivity Following Motor Practice

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2018
Recent work in young adults has demonstrated that motor learning can modulate resting state functional connectivity. However, evidence for older adults is scarce.

Complex Effects of Short Periods of High-Fat Diet on GFAP⁺ Astrocytes and Maturation of DCX⁺ Cells in the Dorsal Hippocampus of Adolescent Mice

Neuroglia
Background/Objectives: A healthy lifestyle based on a balanced diet promotes overall well-being and supports brain health, while the consumption of high-energy foods can negatively affect cognitive function, particularly during early developmental stages,

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 ...

Increased Excitability and Reduced Excitatory Synaptic Input Into Fast-Spiking CA2 Interneurons After Enzymatic Attenuation of Extracellular Matrix

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
The neural extracellular matrix (ECM) is enriched with hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) and the glycoprotein tenascin-R, which play important roles in synaptic plasticity, as shown by studies of the CA1 region of the hippocampus.

MRS-assessed brain GABA modulation in response to task performance and learning

Behavioral and Brain Functions
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the human brain, has long been considered essential in human behavior in general and learning in particular.

Brain Activation During Passive and Volitional Pedaling After Stroke [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Prior work indicates that pedaling-related brain activation is lower in people with stroke than in controls. We asked whether this observation could be explained by between-group differences in volitional motor commands and pedaling ...

Effects of pain on cortical homeostatic plasticity in humans: a systematic review

PAIN Reports
. Homeostatic plasticity (HP) is a negative feedback mechanism that prevents excessive facilitation or depression of cortical excitability (CE). Cortical HP responses in humans have been investigated by using 2 blocks of noninvasive brain stimulation ...

Neuroplasticity

Periodicum biologorum, 2014
Neuroplasticity can be defined as brain’s ability to change, remodel and reorganize for purpose of better ability to adapt to new situations. Despite the fact that the concept of neuroplasticity is quite new, it is one of the most important discoveries in neuroscience.

Neurorhetoric, Race, and the Law: Toxic Neural Pathways and Healing Alternatives [PDF]

, 2017
Neurorhetoric is the study of how rhetoric shapes the human brain. At the forefront of science and communication studies, neurorhetoric challenges many preconceptions about how humans respond to persuasive stimuli.

Redesigning the Brain: The Effect of Bilingualism on Neuroplasticity [PDF]

, 2013
Neuroplasticity is a relatively new subject of study in the past few decades. One’s genetic background and environmental adaptations, are known to lay the foundation for one’s capacity for neuroplasticity.
