Plasticity is an intrinsic property of the central nervous system, reflecting its capacity to
respond in a dynamic manner to the environment and experience via modification of neural …

Neuronal circuits in the brain are shaped by experience during'critical periods' in early
postnatal life. In the primary visual cortex, this activity-dependent development is triggered …

This fully updated edition of Developmental Neuropsychology: A Clinical Approach
addresses key issues in child neuropsychology with a unique emphasis on evidence …

A growing proportion of the US workforce will have been raised in disadvantaged
environments that are associated with relatively high proportions of individuals with …

Two facts about the hippocampus have been common currency among neuroscientists for
several decades. First, lesions of the hippocampus in humans prevent the acquisition of new …

Activity-dependent plasticity of vertebrate neurons allows the brain to respond to its
environment. During brain development, both spontaneous and sensory-driven neural …

Soluble β-amyloid (Aβ) oligomers impair synaptic plasticity and cause synaptic loss
associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). We report that murine PirB (paired …

Many proteins have been implicated in synaptic and experience-dependent plasticity.
However, few demonstrate the exquisite regulation of expression and breadth of functional …

Summary Arc/Arg3. 1 is an immediate-early gene whose mRNA is rapidly transcribed and
targeted to dendrites of neurons as they engage in information processing and storage …

Homeostatic plasticity may compensate for Hebbian forms of synaptic plasticity, such as long-
term potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD), by scaling neuronal output without changing …
