Harnessing neuroplasticity for clinical applications.
Sir, The recent review article ‘Harnessing neuroplasticity for clinical applications’ (Cramer et al., 2011) is in many respects an impressively sophisticated summary of current knowledge of CNS plasticity and its potential translation to important new therapeutic applications. However, this otherwise excellent article has one very major omission: anyone reading it who did not already know bette...
متن کاملHarnessing neuroplasticity for clinical applications
Neuroplasticity can be defined as the ability of the nervous system to respond to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, function and connections. Major advances in the understanding of neuroplasticity have to date yielded few established interventions. To advance the translation of neuroplasticity research towards clinical applications, the National Institutes of Health ...
متن کاملHarnessing the power of neuroplasticity for intervention
A fundamental property of the brain is its capacity to change with a wide variety of experiences, including injury. Although there are spontaneous reparative changes following injury, these changes are rarely sufficient to support significant functional recovery. Research on the basic principles of brain plasticity is leading to new approaches to treating the injured brain. We review factors th...
متن کاملPediatric Constraint Induced Movement Therapy: Harnessing Adaptive Neuroplasticity.
Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) has emerged as a popular treatment for hemiparesis in children. Although clinical programs are of varying lengths and intensities and the method of constraint varies, in general, positive results are reported. Despite the difficulty inherent in studying the effects of any therapy in children, due the variability and complexity of brain injury and the a...
متن کاملHarnessing supramolecular peptide nanotechnology in biomedical applications
The harnessing of peptides in biomedical applications is a recent hot topic. This arises mainly from the general biocompatibility of peptides, as well as from the ease of tunability of peptide structure to engineer desired properties. The ease of progression from laboratory testing to clinical trials is evident from the plethora of examples available. In this review, we compare and contrast how...
