Purpose This paper reviews 10 principles of experience-dependent neural plasticity and
considerations in applying them to the damaged brain. Method Neuroscience research using a …

Stroke recovery research involves distinct biological and clinical targets compared to the
study of acute stroke. Guidelines are proposed for the pre-clinical modeling of stroke …

Brain injury causes astrocytes to assume a reactive state that is essential for early tissue
protection, but how reactive astrocytes affect later reparative processes is incompletely …

To assess behavioral experience effects on synaptic plasticity after brain damage, the present
study examined the effects of complex motor skills training (the acrobatic task) on synaptic …

Stroke instigates a dynamic process of repair and remodelling of remaining neural circuits,
and this process is shaped by behavioural experiences. The onset of motor disability …

In humans and other animals, sufficient unilateral damage to the sensorimotor cortex can
cause impairments in the opposite forelimb and the development of a hyper-reliance on the …

Stroke instigates regenerative responses that reorganize connectivity patterns among surviving
neurons. The new connectivity patterns can be suboptimal for behavioral function. This …

Background and Purpose . Exercise and rehabilitative training each have been implicated
in the promotion of restorative neural plasticity after cerebral injury. Because motor skill …

From the Publisher: Using SPSS for Windows: Analyzing and Understanding Data offers both
the beginning and advanced student and researcher a complete introduction to SPSS. In …

Chemical signals are omnipresent in sexual communication in the vast majority of living
organisms. The traditional paradigm was that their main purpose in sexual behaviour was to …
