Purpose This paper reviews 10 principles of experience-dependent neural plasticity and
considerations in applying them to the damaged brain. Method Neuroscience research …

A recent proposal called the Scaffolding Theory of Cognitive Aging (STAC) postulates that
functional changes with aging are part of a lifespan process of compensatory cognitive …

Upper-extremity impairment after stroke remains a major therapeutic challenge and a target
of neuromodulation treatment efforts. In this open-label, non-randomized phase I trial, we …

Aging is associated with myriad changes in behavioral performance and brain structure and
function. Given this complex interplay of brain and behavior, two streams of findings are …

Stroke instigates regenerative responses that reorganize connectivity patterns among
surviving neurons. The new connectivity patterns can be suboptimal for behavioral function …

Aging is a natural process that is defined as a progressive deterioration of biological
functions after the organism has attained its maximal reproductive competence. Aging leads …

Morphological differences in the auditory brain of musicians compared to nonmusicians are
often associated with life‐long musical activity. Cross‐sectional studies, however, do not …

Neuroscience has fundamentally changed the understanding of learning and memory within
recent years. Here, the authors discuss a number of specific areas where they believe new …

Undoubtedly, one of the most interesting topics in the field of neuroscience is the ability of
the central nervous system to respond to different stimuli (normal or pathological) by …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) on
cognitive functions as well as oxidative stress and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) …
