The past 20 years have represented an important period in the development of principles
underlying neuroplasticity, especially as they apply to recovery from neurological injury. It is …

Autism is a severe neurobehavioral syndrome, arising largely as an inherited disorder,
which can arise from several diseases. Despite recent advances in identifying some genes …

▪ Abstract It has been clear for almost two decades that cortical representations in adult
animals are not fixed entities, but rather, are dynamic and are continuously modified by …

Improvement in motor skill performance is known to continue for at least 24 hr following
training, yet the relative contributions of time spent awake and asleep are unknown. Here we …

A brain-to-brain interface (BTBI) enabled a real-time transfer of behaviorally meaningful
sensorimotor information between the brains of two rats. In this BTBI, an “encoder” rat …

Electrical stimulation is an effective tool for mapping and altering brain connectivity, with
applications ranging from treating pharmacology-resistant neurological disorders to …

After manipulations of the periphery that reduce or enhance input to the somatosensory
cortex, affected parts of the body representation will contract or expand, often over many …

Tactile experiences remodel the central nervous system representations of the body surface.
The results of assessments of ten peripheral manipulations that reveal different aspects of …

Deafferentation leads to cortical reorganization that may be functionally beneficial or
maladaptive. Therefore, we were interested in learning whether it is possible to purposely …

In this review, we summarize recent evidence that perceptual learning can occur not only
under training conditions but also in situations of unattended and passive sensory …
