Journal ArticleDOI
Principles of Experience-Dependent Neural Plasticity: Implications for Rehabilitation After Brain Damage
TL;DR: 10 principles of experience-dependent neural plasticity and considerations in applying them to the damaged brain are reviewed from the perspective of basic neuroscientists but in a manner intended to be useful for the development of more effective clinical rehabilitation interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid formation and selective stabilization of synapses for enduring motor memories
Tonghui Xu,Xinzhu Yu,Andrew J. Perlik,Willie F. Tobin,Jonathan A. Zweig,Kelly A. Tennant,Theresa A. Jones,Yi Zuo +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that synaptic connections in the living mouse brain rapidly respond to motor-skill learning and permanently rewire, and that stabilized neuronal connections are the foundation of durable motor memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use-dependent growth of pyramidal neurons after neocortical damage
TL;DR: Neither a lesion nor asymmetrical limb use alone could account for the dendritic overgrowth--it depended on aLesion-behavior interaction, and greater sensorimotor impairments were found when thedendritic growth was blocked, suggesting that the neural growth and/or associated limb-use behavior were related to functional recovery from the cortical damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal neurotransmission in mice lacking synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A)
Kelly M. Crowder,Jane M. Gunther,Theresa A. Jones,Brian D. Hale,Hai Zhuan Zhang,Michael R. Peterson,Richard H. Scheller,Charles Chavkin,Sandra M. Bajjalieh +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that SV2A is an essential protein and implicate it in the control of exocytosis, andalyses of synapse ultrastructure suggest that altered neurotransmission is not caused by changes in synapse density or morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motor Skills Training Enhances Lesion-Induced Structural Plasticity in the Motor Cortex of Adult Rats
TL;DR: Findings suggest that adaptive neural plasticity may be enhanced using behavioral manipulations as “therapy,” and support a link between behavioral experience and structural plasticity after brain damage.
