The study, "Synaptic Plasticity Rules Driving Representational Shifting in the Hippocampus," was funded by the National Institutes of Health (DP2NS111657, F32MH126643), the Whitehall Foundation ...

"By simulating a bio-realistic network of neurons with dendrites and localized plasticity, the model showed that localized dendritic plasticity mechanisms are necessary for replicating key ...

In brief: they've grown thicker shells. The paper documents two sets of field experiments, conducted 20 years apart, measuring the thickness and plasticity in samples of tidal snails. The first ...

Credit: Logan Billet Because of the life-history plasticity common to many amphibians, growth and development can vary independently: for example, tadpoles may grow slowly and thus be smaller than ...

Plasticity: a Mechanics of the Plastic State of Matter. By Dr. A. Nádai, assisted by A. M. Wahl. (Engineering Societies Monographs.) Revised and enlarged from the first German edition.

and developmental biology have shown the importance of the H3K36 methylation process in regulating plasticity and regeneration in intestinal cells. Researchers from the University of Colorado ...

Synaptic plasticity is the biological process by which specific patterns of synaptic activity result in changes in synaptic strength and is thought to contribute to learning and memory.

We define this process as metabolic myelin plasticity." Scientists are unsure as to what – if any – issues this change in the brain has in the two months following a marathon, but it provides ...

Behold, the human brain: Often compared to a computer, the body's most complex organ operates using a code of electrical and chemical signals. These signals transmit through wires, nodes and ...

With the theoretical part extended, this paper would be of interest to cell biologists and biophysicists working on asymmetric partitioning during cell division. Asymmetric partition of fate ...
