During learning and development, the level of synaptic input received by cortical neurons may change dramatically. Given a limited range of possible firing rates, how do neurons maintain ...
Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells in the human body, primarily recognized for their essential roles in fighting infections and regulating inflammation.
This issue hosts review and research articles considering mechanisms of plasticity of primary afferent neurons and sensory processing after SCI, and how such plasticity contributes to sparing and/or ...
Sleep spindles—brief bursts of brain activity crucial for memory and sleep stability—are guided primarily by short-term timing patterns lasting less than 15 seconds.
The capacity for individuals and populations to shift through phenotypic plasticity and adaptation, as well as the underlying mechanisms of these processes is of critical interest at present. Further, ...
This important study identifies neurotrophin signaling as a molecular mechanism underlying previous findings of structural plasticity in central dopaminergic neurons of the adult fly brain. The ...
