Alterations in brain connectivity due to plasticity and synaptic delay
, 2017 Brain plasticity refers to brain's ability to change neuronal connections, as a result of environmental stimuli, new experiences, or damage. In this work, we study the effects of the synaptic delay on both the coupling strengths and synchronisation in a ...

Phenotypic flexibility and the evolution of organismal design [PDF]
, 2003 Evolutionary biologists often use phenotypic differences between species and between individuals to gain an understanding of organismal design. The focus of much recent attention has been on developmental plasticity – the environmentally induced ...

Neuron, 2013 Although circadian clocks normally run with a 24 hr period, Brancaccio et al. (2013) report in this issue of Neuron that transiently activating G protein signaling can lengthen period even after the stimulus is removed, revealing an unexpected plasticity in the central brain clock.

Scientific Reports, 2018 NCAM1 and NCAM2 have ectodomains consisting of 5 Ig domains followed by 2 membrane-proximal FnIII domains. In this study we investigate and compare the structures and functions of these FnIII domains. The NCAM1 and -2 FnIII2 domains both contain a Walker

Long-term and persistent vocal plasticity in adult bats. [PDF]
, 2019 Bats exhibit a diverse and complex vocabulary of social communication calls some of which are believed to be learned during development. This ability to produce learned, species-specific vocalizations - a rare trait in the animal kingdom - requires a ...

Mode I crack tip fields: strain gradient plasticity theory versus J2 flow theory
, 2019 The mode I crack tip asymptotic response of a solid characterised by strain gradient plasticity is investigated. It is found that elastic strains dominate plastic strains near the crack tip, and thus the Cauchy stress and the strain state are given ...
