Background Neuroplasticity refers to the inherently dynamic biological capacity of the central
nervous system (CNS) to undergo maturation, change structurally and functionally in …

Serotonin modulates neuroplasticity, especially during early life, and dysfunctions in both
systems likewise contribute to pathophysiology of depression. Recent findings demonstrate …

Restoration of human brain function after injury is a signal challenge for translational
neuroscience. Rodent stroke recovery studies identify an optimal or sensitive period for …

Using behavioral, pharmacological, and molecular methods, lots of studies reveal that
depression is closely related to the abnormal neural plasticity processes occurring in the …

A continuing debate in language acquisition research is whether there are critical periods
(CPs) in development during which the system is most responsive to environmental input …

Levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are reduced in the brain and serum of
depressed patients and at least the reduction in serum levels is reversible upon successful …

Brain plasticity is dynamically regulated across the life span, peaking during windows of
early life. Typically assessed in the physiological range of milliseconds (real time), these …

The potency of the environment to shape brain function changes dramatically across the
lifespan. Neural circuits exhibit profound plasticity during early life and are later stabilized. A …

Neurotrophic factors, particularly brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and other
members of the neurotrophin family, are central mediators of the activity-dependent plasticity …

Brain plasticity refers to the remarkable property of cerebral neurons to change their
structure and function in response to experience, a fundamental theoretical theme in the …
