The brain’s system of overproducing neurons and then applying apoptosis enables the exact matching of the number of incoming axons to the number of receiving cells. Development of the Brain The elimination and period of massive cell death is part of normal development and maturation. After ma...

Capitalizing on cortical plasticity: influence of physical activity on cognition and brain function. Given the aging populations in many countries throughout the world, there is an increasing interest in lifestyle factors and interventions that will enhanc...

This book describes a fascinating aspect of the brain and the spinal cord, namely that the brain is malleable which means that the way it works can be changed. Something changes in the brain whenever we learn something, but changes also happens when training to reach new skills. Rehabilitation...
individuals, the brain tended to switch from a modular to a more globally efficient structural organization during adolescence, whereas AS networks tended to keep their modular organization. An EEG connectivity study also reported that the organization of the brain of AS individuals was highly modular...
Whether and how the balance between plasticity and stability varies across the brain is an important open question. Within a processing hierarchy, it is thought that plasticity is increased at higher levels of cortical processing, but direct quantitative comparisons between low- and high-level plastici...

In addition, the healthy adult brain can learn new functions, e.g. increasing resolution above the retinal one. The significance of these studies for rehabilitation after brain damage will be discussed. 展开 关键词: Brain plasticity Adaptation Perceptual learning Visual cortex Motor cortex ...
The ever-growing perception of cancer stem cells (CSCs) as a plastic state rather than a hardwired defined entity has evolved our understanding of the functional and biological plasticity of these elusive components in malignancies. Pancreatic cancer (PC), based on its biological features and clinic...
