Plastic Surgery’s Plastics

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1996
Alloplastic materials have become an essential part of reconstructing the craniofacial skeleton. This article reviews several of the more commonly used implant materials and summarizes their mechanical properties and use in reconstructive surgery.

Plasticity

2013
A variety of noninvasive brain stimulation techniques have been used to study neuronal plasticity. Mostly, noninvasive techniques have been employed, and the bulk of studies have focused on the motor system, because its physiology is more readily accessible and physiological properties can be studied with greater detail than in other systems.

Synapses Plastic plasticity

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.

Plastics, Plasticity, and the Plastic

Interdisciplinary Literary Studies
ABSTRACT This article examines the development of the idea of “plasticity” by proposing two critical moments in its conceptual epigenesis: that of plastics, represented by Cudworth and Shaftesbury in the seventeenth century, and that of plasticity as elaborated by Catherine Malabou in the twenty-first century.

Plasticity revisited

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2002
Despite some recent setbacks, it remains clear that adult stem cells under appropriate experimental conditions can at some frequency exhibit a wider range of differentiation potentials than previously appreciated. This is underscored by the recent demonstration of the extensive differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells. In terms of mechanism,

Synaptic plasticity

Naturwissenschaften, 1979
Synaptic plasticity is manifested by long-lasting changes in synaptic potency. Increased potency is of special importance in relation to the neural basis of memory. Even mild repetitive stimulation evokes large and prolonged potentiations of hippocampal synapses, as is revealed by electrical recording either in vivo or in vitro.

Keeping synaptic plasticity plastic

Science Signaling, 2015
In mice, neuronal plasticity in later life depends on neuronal activity during a critical period earlier in development.

Plastic Before Plastic

Interdisciplinary Literary Studies
ABSTRACT Ranjan Ghosh’s The Plastic Turn foregrounds characteristics of plastics that in his view define the modern sensibility—in particular, mutability (plasticity), agglomeration, and the resistance of polymer bonds to breaking down.

Vestibular plasticity

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1983
REVIEWERS COMMENTS: The last four paragraphs of this article contain original and perceptive ideas, the sort of research one hopes for (and rarely gets) from a laboratory neurophysiologist. Those who are keen can work their way through it, think about the material, and fight their way through to the important conclusion … that the brain responds by ...

Behavioral plasticity

GENETICS
Abstract Behavioral plasticity allows animals to modulate their behavior based on experience and environmental conditions. Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits experience-dependent changes in its behavioral responses to various modalities of sensory cues, including odorants, salts, temperature, and mechanical stimulations. Most of these forms
