You’re Perfect, Now Change — Redefining the Role of Developmental Plasticity
نویسنده
چکیده
The receptive field properties of neurons in the developing brain can in many cases be remarkably similar to those of adult neurons. This raises the question of why these same neurons need the capacity for such impressive developmental plasticity, most clearly demonstrated by the rewiring that occurs in response to sensory deprivation. The roles of developmental neuronal plasticity in the assimilation of neurons into a larger network, including temporal and cross-modal integration, are discussed.

Developmental effect of light deprivation on synaptic plasticity of rats' hippocampus: implications for melatonin
Objective(s): There are few reports have demonstrated the effect of a change-in-light experience on the structure and function of hippocampus. A change-in-light experience also affects the circadian pattern of melatonin secretion. This study aimed to investigate developmental effect of exogenous melatonin on synaptic plasticity of hippocampus of light deprived rats. Materials and Methods: The ...

Background & Aims: Change in visual experience impairs circadian rhythms. In this study, The effects of visual deprivation during critical period of brain development and melatonin intake on synaptic plasticity of hippocampal CA1 neurons were evaluated. Methods: This experimental study was done on male rats kept in standard 12 hour light/dark condition (L...
متن کاملPhenotypic Plasticity in Embryonic Development of Reptiles: Recent Research and Research Opportunities in China
Variation in phenotypic traits among individuals is the core material upon which natural selection can operate, and ultimately generate evolutionary change. Early paradigms that attributed phenotypic variation largely to underlying genetic variation have now been replaced by more complex views that allow a major role for nongenetic causes of variations, such as developmental plasticity (West-Eb...
متن کاملDevelopmental Idealism and the Proposal of a Theoretical Model for Family Change in Iran
This research examines dynamics and change in the Iranian family during the recent half- century especially subsequent to the Islamic revolution in 1979. Developmental positions and changes are discussed and consideration is given to the extent to which family dynamics and change have been influenced by structural changes or ideational forces. We will focus on ideational forces based on a new a...

Migraine is a primary headache which is very common in the society. Although it is usually starts in a salient point in life span of an individual diagnostically, the repetition of acute stress response such as sleep abnormalities, anxiety, and depression are not new in this population. Therefore, they have had almost a long diary of these abnormalities. In order to understand the role/s of str...
