Plasticity within the neuronal networks of the brain underlies the ability to learn and retain
new information. The initial discovery of synaptic plasticity occurred by measuring synaptic …

Recent data have shown that sleep plays a beneficial role for cognitive functions such as
declarative memory consolidation and perceptual learning. In this article, we review recent …

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most prevalent inherited cause of autism and is
accompanied by behavioral and sensory deficits. Errors in the wiring of the brain during …

Patients with schizophrenia exhibit disrupted thalamocortical connections that relate to
aspects of symptoms and deficits in cognition. Targeted cognitive training (TCT) of the …

The perirhinal cortex (PRh) is a key region downstream of auditory cortex (ACx) that

Abstract The neuromodulator serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) plays an important role
in controlling the induction threshold and maintenance of long-term potentiation (LTP) in the …

Vestibular nucleus (VN) and cerebellar flocculus are known as the core candidates for the
neuroplasticity of vestibular system. However, it has been still elusive how to induce the …

In recent years, piperine has attracted much attention due to its various biological effects as
a neuroprotective agent. Therefore, clarification of the possible side effects of piperine is …

Abstract Neuron-derived 17β-estradiol (E2) alters synaptic transmission and plasticity in
brain regions with endocrine and non-endocrine functions. Investigations into a modulatory …

The neuroactive steroid hormone 17β-estradiol (E2) modulates synaptic activity and
plasticity in both endocrine and non-endocrine forebrain regions of males and females of a …
