Neuronal plasticity: increasing the gain in pain.

Science, 2000
We describe those sensations that are unpleasant, intense, or distressing as painful. Pain is not homogeneous, however, and comprises three categories: physiological, inflammatory, and neuropathic pain.

Synaptic Plasticity Forms and Functions.

Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2020
Synaptic plasticity, the activity-dependent change in neuronal connection strength, has long been considered an important component of learning and memory.

Metaplasticity: the plasticity of synaptic plasticity

Trends in Neurosciences, 1996
In this paper, we review experimental evidence for a novel form of persistent synaptic plasticity we call metaplasticity. Metaplasticity is induced by synaptic or cellular activity, but it is not necessarily expressed as a change in the efficacy of normal synaptic transmission.

Synapses Plastic plasticity [PDF]

Nature, 1997
The connections between neurons (synapses) can adapt to changing circumstances of nervous transmissions, a phenomenon known as activity-dependent plasticity. Moreover, such plasticity is itself regulated, but little is known about the mechanisms or behavioural consequences of this metaplasticity.

Synaptic plasticity and memory: an evaluation of the hypothesis.

Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2000
Changing the strength of connections between neurons is widely assumed to be the mechanism by which memory traces are encoded and stored in the central nervous system.

AMPA receptor trafficking and synaptic plasticity.

Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2002
Activity-dependent changes in synaptic function are believed to underlie the formation of memories. Two prominent examples are long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), whose mechanisms have been the subject of considerable scrutiny ...

Plasticizers in Rubbers and Plastics

Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 1947
Abstract Up to the advent of synthetic high polymers, plasticizer technology was little understood, Plasticizers had been used mainly with cellulose derivatives, which are not at all good materials for the study of plasticizer action. The chemical processing they undergo, e.g., nitration, acetylation, etc., leads to variations on account

Principles of experience-dependent neural plasticity: implications for rehabilitation after brain damage.

Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research, 2008
PURPOSE This paper reviews 10 principles of experience-dependent neural plasticity and considerations in applying them to the damaged brain. METHOD Neuroscience research using a variety of models of learning, neurological disease, and trauma are ...

Styrenic Plastics

2008
This chapter on styrenic plastics covers a broad class of polymeric materials of which an important part is styrene. Chemical structures, manufacturers, and trade names along with typical end uses of the plastics are included. Where available, there are sections covering fatigue data and tribology data in graphical and tabular forms.
