Plastic contamination of the environment is a global problem whose magnitude justifies the consideration of plastics as emergent geomaterials with chemistries not previously seen in Earth’s history.

Metaplasticity: the plasticity of synaptic plasticity
Trends in Neurosciences, 1996In 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.

Plastics, Plasticity, and the Plastic
Interdisciplinary Literary StudiesABSTRACT 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.

COVID-19 pandemic repercussions on the use and management of plastics.
Environmental Science and Technology, 2020Plastics are essential in society as a widely available and inexpensive material. Mismanagement of personal protective equipment (PPE) during COVID-19 pandemic, with a monthly estimated use of 129 billion face masks and 65 billion gloves globally, is ...

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.

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.
