Plasticity and functional recovery in neurology VS
Experiments on patients with phantom limbs suggest that neural connections in the adult human brain are much more malleable than previously assumed. Three weeks after amputation of an arm, sensations from the ipsilateral face are referred to the phantom; this effect is caused by the sensory input from the face skin ‘invading’ and activating deafferented hand zones in the cortex and thalamus. Ma...

متن کاملBrain plasticity in paediatric neurology.
Plasticity includes the brain's capacity to be shaped or moulded by experience, the capacity to learn and remember, and the ability to reorganize and recover after injury. Mechanisms for plasticity include activity-dependent refinement of neuronal connections and synaptic plasticity as a substrate for learning and memory. The molecular mechanisms for these processes utilize signalling cascades ...
متن کاملEarly brain injury and plasticity: rEorganization and functional rEcovEry
One of the most remarkable observations in developmental neuroscience is the plasticity of the developing brain. Although recent findings suggest that the developing brain possesses substantial compensatory potential, the mechanisms of reorganization and its limitations remain largely unknown. This review includes studies elucidating the complexities of brain reorganization in response to early...
متن کاملDiabetes impairs cortical plasticity and functional recovery following ischemic stroke.
Diabetics are at greater risk of having a stroke and are less likely to recover from it. To understand this clinically relevant problem, we induced an ischemic stroke in the primary forelimb somatosensory (FLS1) cortex of diabetic mice and then examined sensory-evoked changes in cortical membrane potentials and behavioral recovery of forelimb sensory-motor function. Consistent with previous stu...
