Abstract: Individuals experience difficulty falling asleep in a new environment, termed the first night effect (FNE). However, the impact of the FNE on sleep-induced brain plasticity remains unclear. Here, using a within-subject design, we found that… read more here.

Abstract: Two recent papers provide the opportunity to discuss the latest advances in understanding three forms of experience-dependent visual plasticity that occur in the adult mouse cortex: flash-evoked visual plasticity, visual sequence plasticity, and stimulus-specific response… read more here.

Abstract: Phenotypic plasticity is a specific area of interest that refers to the ability of an organism to alter its phenotype in response to environmental changes. Adaptive visual plasticity is a fascinating phenomenon observed in various… read more here.
