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?

Physical but not virtual presence of others potentiates implicit and explicit learning
Scientific Reports, 2022 E-learning activities are becoming more and more common. Whilst it is well known that the physical presence of others motivates individuals to engage in perceptual and learning tasks, systematic investigations comparing the effects of physical and ...

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.

NeuroRX, 2006 Over the past 20 years, evidence has mounted regarding the capacity of the central nervous system to alter its structure and function throughout life. Injury to the central nervous system appears to be a particularly potent trigger for plastic mechanisms to be elicited.

Neuromodulation of the feedforward dentate gyrus-CA3 microcircuit
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2016 The feedforward dentate gyrus-CA3 microcircuit in the hippocampus is thought to activate ensembles of CA3 pyramidal cells and interneurons to encode and retrieve episodic memories.

Regenerative neurogenic response from glia requires insulin-driven neuron-glia communication
eLife, 2021 Understanding how injury to the central nervous system induces de novo neurogenesis in animals would help promote regeneration in humans. Regenerative neurogenesis could originate from glia and glial neuron-glia antigen-2 (NG2) may sense injury-induced ...

Sensory plasticity in a socially plastic bee [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2022 Abstract The social Hymenoptera have contributed much to our understanding of the evolution of sensory systems. Attention has focussed chiefly on how sociality and sensory systems have evolved together. In the Hymenoptera, the antennal sensilla are important for optimizing the perception of olfactory social ...

Direct and indirect selection on flowering time, water-use efficiency (WUE, δ (13)C), and WUE plasticity to drought in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
, 2014 Flowering time and water-use efficiency (WUE) are two ecological traits that are important for plant drought response. To understand the evolutionary significance of natural genetic variation in flowering time, WUE, and WUE plasticity to drought in ...

Exploratory drive, fear, and anxiety are dissociable and independent components in foraging mice
Translational Psychiatry, 2021 Anxiety-like behavior of rodents is frequently accompanied by reduced exploration. Here, we identify dissociable components of anxiety, fear, and exploratory drive of sated and foraging mice.

The conceptual structure of evolutionary biology: A framework from phenotypic plasticity [PDF]
, 2018 In this review, I approach the role of phenotypic plasticity as a key aspect of the conceptual framework of evolutionary biology. The concept of phenotypic plasticity is related to other relevant concepts of contemporary research in ...
