(Lesburgueres et al., 2011). Neuronal networks in these regions are, in fact, selectively remodeled at remote time-points (Restivo et al., 2009). Moreover, the persistence of these lately occurring structural changes is necessary for the persistence of memory (Vetere et al., 2011a). Surprisingly, in contrast with the intuitive idea that the neocortex might exclusively be dedicated to the storag...

Traditional shape memory polymers (SMPs) are those capable of memorizing a temporary shape and recovering to the permanent shape upon heating. Although such a basic concept has been known for half a century, recent progresses have challenged the conventional understanding of the polymer shape memory effect and significantly expanded the practical potential of SMPs. In this article, notable rece...

background and aim: although recent research has revealed the positive effects of bilin­gualism on children's cognitive abilities, little information is available on the relationship bet­ween bilingualism and working memory. working memory is generally composed of four dis­tinct parts, among which the phonological loop plays an important role in speech and language development, reading skills, ...
