DOI: 10.1002/ana.24983
Abstract: Restrengthening of the residual language network is likely to be crucial for speech recovery in poststroke aphasia. Eight participants with chronic aphasia received intensive speech therapy for 3 weeks, with standardized naming tests and brain… read more here.

The impact of early environmental interventions on structural plasticity of the axon initial segment in neocortex
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Developmental Psychobiology"
DOI: 10.1002/dev.21453
Abstract: Plasticity of the axon initial segment (AIS) is a newly discovered type of structural plasticity that regulates cell excitability. AIS plasticity has been reported to happen during normal development of neocortex and also in a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/syn.22020
Abstract: Psychoactive drugs have the ability to alter the morphology of neuronal dendrites and spines and to influence later experience‐dependent structural plasticity. If rats are given repeated injections of psychomotor stimulants (amphetamine, cocaine, nicotine) prior to… read more here.

CB1 Cannabinoid Receptors Mediate Cognitive Deficits and Structural Plasticity Changes During Nicotine Withdrawal
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Biological Psychiatry"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biopsych.2016.07.007
Abstract: BACKGROUND Tobacco withdrawal is associated with deficits in cognitive function, including attention, working memory, and episodic memory. Understanding the neurobiological mechanisms involved in these effects is crucial because cognitive deficits during nicotine withdrawal may predict… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cobeha.2018.06.014
Abstract: The role of cortico-striatal pathways in cue-triggered motivational processes have been extensively studied. However, recent work has begun to examine the potential contribution of plasticity in these circuits to obesity. Despite the inclusion of women… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2020.06.018
Abstract: Key Drosophila clock neurons remodel their axonal arborization on a daily basis. The current view is that remodelling is part of the control of clock neuron output but new data support a major role in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.05.027
Abstract: &NA; Sleep is an evolutionarily conserved process required for human health and functioning. Insufficient sleep causes impairments across cognitive domains, and sleep deprivation can have rapid antidepressive effects in mood disorders. However, the neurobiological effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acschembio.2c00114
Abstract: MASP-1 and MASP-2 are key activator proteases of the complement lectin pathway. The first specific mannose-binding lectin-associated serine protease (MASP) inhibitors had been developed from the 14-amino-acid sunflower trypsin inhibitor (SFTI) peptide by phage display,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-00311-2
Abstract: The brain cytoplasmic (BC1) RNA is a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) involved in neuronal translational control. Absence of BC1 is associated with altered glutamatergic transmission and maladaptive behavior. Here, we show that pyramidal neurons in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-05871-5
Abstract: Highly motile dendritic protrusions are hallmarks of developing neurons. These exploratory filopodia sample the environment and initiate contacts with potential synaptic partners. To understand the role for dynamic filopodia in dendrite morphogenesis and experience-dependent structural… read more here.
