Neural plasticity across the lifespan [Indiv Devel & Behav Collection]:
An essential feature of the brain is its capacity to change. Neuroscientists use the term ‘plasticity’ to describe the malleability of neuronal connectivity and circuitry. How does plasticity work? A review of current data suggests that plasticity encompasses many distinct phenomena, some of which operate across most or all of the lifespan, and others that operate exclusively in early developme...
متن کاملChanges in Cortical Plasticity Across the Lifespan
Deterioration of motor and cognitive performance with advancing age is well documented, but its cause remains unknown. Animal studies dating back to the late 1970s reveal that age-associated neurocognitive changes are linked to age-dependent changes in synaptic plasticity, including alterations of long-term potentiation and depression (LTP and LTD). Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques ena...
متن کاملNeural Plasticity. A Lifespan Approach
One of the most promising and practical applications resulting from the enormous advances made in the understanding of molecular structure and biology of proteins is in the area of therapeutics and drug development. While recombinantly produced protein and peptide drugs offer the possibility for extremely specific and potent pharmaceuticals for the modulation of biological responses, the toxico...
متن کاملPlasticity of the Maternal Brain Across the Lifespan.
Maternal behavior is dynamic and highly sensitive to experiential and contextual factors. In this review, this plasticity will be explored, with a focus on how experiences of females occurring from the time of fetal development through to adulthood impact maternal behavior and the maternal brain. Variation in postpartum maternal behavior is dependent on estrogen sensitivity within the medial pr...
متن کاملNeural plasticity and treatment across the lifespan for motor deficits in cerebral palsy.
The past decade of research in neuroscience and stroke rehabilitation has demonstrated that the adult brain is capable of recovery through physiological processes (often called 'plasticity'). Some of the recovery is spontaneous and some is a result of experience, including interventions such as physical therapy, which probably enhance or activate changes in brain structure and function. There i...
