Reprogramming the brain

TLDR
The aim of this work was to clarify the role of reorganization in the development of cortical plasticity in the aging brain and to propose novel cell therapy approaches for brain repair.

Models and Mechanisms of Hyperalgesia and Allodynia

TL;DR: This review focuses on highly topical spinal mechanisms of hyperalgesia and allodynia including intrinsic and synaptic plasticity, the modulation of inhibitory control, and neuroimmune interactions.

Memory enhancement in healthy older adults using a brain plasticity-based training program: A randomized, controlled study

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that intensive, plasticity-engaging training can result in an enhancement of cognitive function in normal mature adults.

Association between mid-life marital status and cognitive function in later life: population based cohort study

TL;DR: Living in a relationship with a partner in mid-life might imply cognitive and social challenges that have a protective effect against cognitive impairment later in life, consistent with the brain reserve hypothesis.

Neural Mechanisms of Brain Plasticity with Complex Cognitive Training in Healthy Seniors

TL;DR: It is proposed that cognitive training enhances resting-state neural activity and connectivity, increasing the blood supply to these regions via neurovascular coupling, and preliminary evidence that neural plasticity can be harnessed to mitigate brain losses with cognitive training in seniors is provided.

Gray matter volumes of pain-related brain areas are decreased in fibromyalgia syndrome.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for decreased gray matter volumes in a number of pain-related brain areas in FM, which may contribute to some of the core features of this chronic disorder including affective disturbances and chronic widespread pain.
