  2. 16. Brain matter matters : renewal in the human brain

    Author : Maggie Yeung Wong; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Many cells have a shorter life span than the organism itself and are continuously being replaced. However, for many cell types in the human body it is still largely unknown whether they turn over at all once development is complete. READ MORE

  4. 17. Removing the barriers of plasticity after experimental brain injury

    Author : Jakob Hakon Christensen; Neurokirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Resting-state functional connectivity; Optical imaging; Stroke; Recovery; Enriched environment; Parvalbumin; Perineuronal nets; Traumatic brain injury; Microglia.;

    Abstract : Ischemic stroke and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are leading causes of disability and death worldwide. Both injuries result in regional cell death and disruption of local and remote functional neuronal networks, leading to loss of neurological function. READ MORE

  5. 18. Plasticity of memory functioning : genetic predictors and brain changes

    Author : Martin Bellander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Human cognitive functions are not determined from birth, but are plastic and can be altered by environmental factors. The promising idea of a cognitive intervention that would improve memory functioning has attracted a lot of attention over the last decades. READ MORE

  6. 19. Role of Endogenous BDNF and NT3 for Synaptic Transmission and Plasticity in the Dentate gyrus

    Author : Klara Olofsdotter; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hippocampus; dentate gyrus; GABA; glutamate; synaptic transmission; synaptic plasticity; Brain-derived neurotrophic factor; neurotrophin 3; Neurologi; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; electrophysiology; neurofysiologi; neuropsykologi;

    Abstract : The neurotrophins, notably brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin 3 (NT3), modulate synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity in the adult mammalian brain. Recent data suggest that neurotrophins might be mediators of activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. READ MORE

  7. 20. Plasticity of the developing glutamate synapse in the hippocampus

    Author : Therése Abrahamsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : synaptic plasticity; long-term potentiation; short-term potentiation; silent synapse; development; hippocampus; glutamate;

    Abstract : Synapses are highly plastic, i.e. they have the ability to change their signaling strength both in the short- and long-term (e.g. READ MORE
