Regional specificity of synaptic plasticity deficits in a knock-in mouse model of DYT1 dystonia
Neurobiology of Disease, 2014 DYT1 dystonia is a movement disorder caused by a deletion in the C-terminal of the protein torsinA. It is unclear how torsinA mutation might disrupt cellular processes encoding motor activity, and whether this impairment occurs in specific brain regions.

Synaptic plasticity: Neighborhood influences [PDF]
Current Biology, 1997 Recent studies indicate that, when the strengths of specific synapses are modified by activity, changes in strengths also occur at neighboring synapses; this neighborhood influence has important implications for how synaptic modifications implement learning and memory.

Synaptic Plasticity in an Altered State [PDF]
Neuron, 2002 In this issue of Neuron, record from synaptically coupled pairs of CA3 neurons to closely examine the induction of synaptic depression at a small number of identified synapses. The authors provide convincing evidence that the activation history of a synapse determines both the ability of a synapse to depress and the mechanism of depression.

Transducer Materials Mediated Deep Brain Stimulation in Neurological Disorders
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review discusses advanced transducer materials for improving deep brain stimulation (DBS) in neurological disorders. These materials respond to light, ultrasound, or magnetic fields, enabling precise, less invasive neuromodulation. Their stimulus‐responsive properties enhance neural control and adaptive therapy, paving the way for next‐generation ...

Ripples Make Waves: Binding Structured Activity and Plasticity in Hippocampal Networks
Neural Plasticity, 2011 Establishing novel episodic memories and stable spatial representations depends on an exquisitely choreographed, multistage process involving the online encoding and offline consolidation of sensory information, a process that is largely dependent on the

Synaptoimmunology - roles in health and disease
Molecular Brain, 2017 Mounting evidence suggests that the nervous and immune systems are intricately linked. Many proteins first identified in the immune system have since been detected at synapses, playing different roles in normal and pathological situations.

Synaptic Plasticity and Nicotine Addiction [PDF]
Neuron, 2001 Nicotine, the main addictive component of tobacco, activates and desensitizes nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). In that way, nicotine alters normal nicotinic cholinergic functions. Among the myriad of psychopharmacological effects that underlie the addiction process, nicotine influences nAChR participation in synaptic plasticity.

Machine Learning Guided Design of Nerve‐On‐A‐Chip Platforms with Promoted Neurite Outgrowth
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Compared to labor‐intensive trial‐and‐error experimentation, a machine learning (ML)‐guided workflow, incorporating cell viability assays, data augmentation, ensemble modeling, and model interpretation, is developed to accelerate nerve‐on‐a‐chip optimization and uncover data‐driven design principles.
