Whisker Deprivation Drives Two Phases of Inhibitory Synapse Weakening in Layer 4 of Rat Somatosensory Cortex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Inhibitory synapse development in sensory neocortex is experience-dependent, with sustained sensory deprivation yielding fewer and weaker inhibitory synapses.

Uniplanar nystagmus associated with perceptual and cognitive visual dysfunction due to presumed focal ischemic occipital cortical atrophy: a missed diagnosis and new observation [PDF]
, 2012 Uniplanar nystagmus has been described in relation to pathology of the brain stem, retina, optic nerve, sensory visual deprivation, periventricular leucomalacia, and drug toxicity.

Whisker row deprivation affects the flow of sensory information through rat barrel cortex [PDF]
, 2017 Whisker trimming causes substantial reorganisation of neuronal response properties in barrel cortex. However, little is known about experience-dependent rerouting of sensory processing following sensory deprivation.

Attenuated Sensory Deprivation-induced Changes of Parvalbumin Neuron Density in the Barrel Cortex of FcγRllB-deficient Mice [PDF]
, 2012 Recent studies have demonstrated the important role of immune molecules in the development of neuronal circuitry and synaptic plasticity. We have detected the presence of FcγRllB protein in parvalbumin- containing inhibitory interneurons (PV neurons). In

The pial vasculature of the mouse develops according to a sensory-independent program
Scientific Reports, 2018 The cerebral vasculature is organized to supply the brain’s metabolic needs. Sensory deprivation during the early postnatal period causes altered neural activity and lower metabolic demand.

Individual differences in pain sensitivity are associated with cognitive network functional connectivity following one night of experimental sleep disruption. [PDF]
, 2020 Previous work suggests that sleep disruption can contribute to poor pain modulation. Here, we used experimental sleep disruption to examine the relationship between sleep disruption-induced pain sensitivity and functional connectivity (FC) of cognitive ...

Deprivation-related and use-dependent plasticity go hand in hand
eLife, 2013 Arm-amputation involves two powerful drivers for brain plasticity—sensory deprivation and altered use. However, research has largely focused on sensory deprivation and maladaptive change. Here we show that adaptive patterns of limb usage after amputation

Neural development and sensorimotor control [PDF]
, 2004 What is the relationship between development of the nervous system and the emergence of voluntary motor behavior? This is the central question of the nature-nurture discussion that has intrigued child psychologists and pediatric neurologists for decades.

Pathogens, 2017 Herpes simplex viruses (HSV1 and HSV2) establish latency in peripheral ganglia after ocular or genital infection, and can reactivate to produce different patterns and frequencies of recurrent disease. Previous studies showed that nerve growth factor (NGF)

Sensory deprivation as a model for the actualizing compensatory brain resources [PDF]
Современная зарубежная психология, 2020 The concepts of «cognitive» or «compensatory brain reserves» are proposed to explain a wide individual variability of changes in cognitive functions during aging and are used to study the adaptive reorganization of the neural systems of the brain in ...
