Integrative Analysis of Disease Signatures Shows Inflammation Disrupts Juvenile Experience-Dependent Cortical Plasticity
Throughout childhood and adolescence, periods of heightened neuroplasticity are critical for the development of healthy brain function and behavior. Given the high prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism, identifying disruptors of developmental plasticity represents an essential step for developing strategies for prevention and intervention. Applying a novel computational app...
متن کاملDevelopmental determinants of cortical plasticity.
A central problem in neuropsychology concerns the mechanisms by which functions are restored following injury to the brain. Functional recovery is particularly striking following damage to the cerebrum in early life and accordingly our studies deal with the effects of prefrontal cortical lesions performed on infant monkeys. We describe here two essentially different patterns of behavioral recov...
متن کاملDevelopmental plasticity of auditory cortical inhibitory synapses.
Functional inhibitory synapses form in auditory cortex well before the onset of normal hearing. However, their properties change dramatically during normal development, and many of these maturational events are delayed by hearing loss. Here, we review recent findings on the developmental plasticity of inhibitory synapse strength, kinetics, and GABAA receptor localization in auditory cortex. Alt...
متن کاملGenetical toxicogenomics in Drosophila identifies master-modulatory loci that are regulated by developmental exposure to lead.
The genetics of gene expression in recombinant inbred lines (RILs) can be mapped as expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs). So-called "genetical genomics" studies have identified locally acting eQTLs (cis-eQTLs) for genes that show differences in steady-state RNA levels. These studies have also identified distantly acting master-modulatory trans-eQTLs that regulate tens or hundreds of trans...
متن کاملNeurodevelopmental effects of postnatal lead exposure at very low levels.
This study is among the first to examine specific neurobehavioral deficits in children exposed at very low lead levels. A systematic analysis for the presence of a threshold of lead exposure was conducted. The sample consisted of 246 African American, inner-city children from whom blood lead concentrations were assessed at 7.5 years of age. The results consistently show neurobehavioral deficits...
