Cognition fluctuates over relatively faster and slower timescales. This is enabled by dynamic
interactions among cortical neurons over similarly diverse temporal and spatial scales. Fast …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease worldwide. While the
typical motor symptoms of PD are well known, the lesser known non-motor symptoms can …

The olfactory bulb is a unique site of continuous neurogenesis, primarily generating
inhibitory interneurons, a process that begins at birth and extends through infancy and …

Plasticity, the term we use to describe the ability of a nervous system to change with
experience, is the evolutionary adaptation that freed animal behavior from the confines of …

The adult olfactory system undergoes experience-dependent plasticity to adapt to the
olfactory environment. This plasticity may be accompanied by perceptual changes, including …

Despite divergent evolutionary origins, the organization of olfactory systems is remarkably
similar across phyla. In both insects and mammals, sensory input from receptor cells is …

Intelligent systems in nature like the mammalian nervous system benefit from adaptable
inputs that can tailor response profiles to their environment that varies in time and space …

Brain functional and structural changes lead to cognitive decline during aging, but a high
level of cognitive stimulation during life can improve cognitive performances in the older …

The primary etiology of Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unclear, but likely reflects a
combination of genetic and environmental factors. Exposure to some pesticides, including …

Normal brain aging is associated with deficits in cognitive and sensory processes, due to
subtle impairment of synaptic contacts and plasticity. Impairment may be discrete in basal …
