Showing papers on "Developmental plasticity published in 1990"



Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: There is an urgent need for research on the developmental pathways by which genetic differences within and between strains of Echinococcus are translated to phenotypic differences in traits such as development rate, host preference, host specificity, virulence and drug resistance.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A mechanism for the correlation of activity in simultaneously active pre‐ and postsynaptic neurons could be provided by the properties of the N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor and its associated Ca2+ channel, which opens in a transmitter‐ and voltage‐dependent manner.

TL;DR: This presentation will review some of the recent findings on physiological and neurochemical changes in the spinal dorsal horn associated with tissue damage and nerve injury.
Abstract: A frequent response to peripheral tissue damage or nerve injury is the appearance of constant pain, pain produced by innocuous stimulation, and increased sensitivity to noxious stimuli. The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of these clinical features are poorly understood. Although peripheral neural mechanisms, such as nociceptor sensitization associated with tissue damage and neuroma formation following nerve injury, are contributors to the pathophysiology, recent studies indicate that changes in neuronal activity in the central nervous system also play an important role. This presentation will review some of the recent findings on physiological and neurochemical changes in the spinal dorsal horn associated with tissue damage and nerve injury.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The long developmental history of the P300, in contrast to the ABRs, provides a functional measure of developmental plasticity in a cognitive versus a sensory brain system.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A model of adaptive responses to brain damage has been proposed; it includes neuronal sprouting, synaptic receptor plasticity (unmasking), and extrasynaptic receptor Plasticity (volume transmission).
Abstract: Recent evidence of the plasticity of central nervous system receptors, as well as evidence for cell-to-cell communication via the extracellular fluid (volume transmission), has been selectively rev...
