Plasticity, plasticity, plasticity…and the rigid problem of sex [PDF]

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2013
Why is popular understanding of female–male differences still based on rigid models of development, even though contemporary developmental sciences emphasize plasticity? Is it because the science of sex differences still works from the same rigid models?

Effect of competitive cues on reproductive morphology and behavioral plasticity in male fruitflies [PDF]

, 2015
Phenotypic plasticity will be favored whenever there are significant fitness benefits of responding to environmental variation. The extent and nature of the plasticity that evolves depends on the rate of environmental fluctuations and the capacity to ...

Sustained postsynaptic kainate receptor activation downregulates AMPA receptor surface expression and induces hippocampal LTD

iScience, 2021
Summary: It is well established that long-term depression (LTD) can be initiated by either NMDA or mGluR activation. Here we report that sustained activation of GluK2 subunit-containing kainate receptors (KARs) leads to α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4 ...

Plasticity and dystonia: a hypothesis shrouded in variability. [PDF]

, 2020
Studying plasticity mechanisms with Professor John Rothwell was a shared highlight of our careers. In this article, we discuss non-invasive brain stimulation techniques which aim to induce and quantify plasticity, the mechanisms and nature of their ...

Regulation of Neuromodulator Receptor Efficacy - Implications for Whole-Neuron and Synaptic Plasticity [PDF]

, 2004
Membrane receptors for neuromodulators (NM) are highly regulated in their distribution and efficacy - a phenomenon which influences the individual cell's response to central signals of NM release.

Changes in pallidal neural activity following long-term symptom improvement from botulinum toxin treatment in DYT6 dystonia: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022
Background The globus pallidus internus is the main target for the treatment of dystonia by deep brain stimulation. Unfortunately, for some genetic etiologies, the therapeutic outcome of dystonia is less predictable.

Reduction in the activity of VTA/SNc dopaminergic neurons underlies aging-related decline in novelty seeking

Communications Biology, 2023
Curiosity, or novelty seeking, is a fundamental mechanism motivating animals to explore and exploit environments to improve survival, and is also positively associated with cognitive, intrapersonal and interpersonal well-being in humans.
