Brain Plasticity

Brain Plasticity is pleased to announce that we have been accepted into the prestigious Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).

I'm absolutely delighted to share my newest review on how the #GutMicrobiota influences adult hippocampal #Neurogenesis! @jfcryan @oliviafoleary @Pharmabiotic @BPL_Journal Our figure👇 shows key pathways by which #GutMicrobiota is known to influence AHN. content.iospress.com/articles/brain…

#OpenAccess Special Issue Alert - 8:1 - Peripheral Factors and Neural Plasticity. Focused on myokine Cathepsin B (CTSB) & brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in neural plasticity. Editors Drs. Henriette van Praag & Christiane D. Wrann (@WrannLab). bit.ly/BPL8-1

In #openaccess #BPLjournal 7:2, Drs. Peter Hamor and Marek Schwendt (@UFPsychology) review the molecular machinery regulating metabotropic glutamate receptor trafficking/expression in both rodents and humans, and relate dysfunction to drug-induced synaptic plasticity alterations.

Dr. Shepherd et al. reviewed preclinical investigations of environmental enrichment, physical exercise, & #AlzheimersDisease. Only evidence of cognitive improvements was consistent in spatial memory tasks. #openaccess #BPLjournal Read here: content.iospress.com/articles/brain…

Kliesch et al. in #BPLjournal #openaccess issue 7:2 demonstrate that low beta (13-14.5Hz) oscillations at rest predict second-language learning differences & switching from second to native language elicits N400 component. content.iospress.com/articles/brain…

Zheng et al. report that compared to usual physical activity, 24 weeks of traditional Chinese Baduanjin mind-body exercise increased gray matter volume and improved cognition in older adults with MCI. Out now in issue 7:2 of the #openaccess #BPLjournal. content.iospress.com/articles/brain…

In our 7:2 issue, Lambert et al. provide evidence for positive outcomes of physical activity on fractional anisotropy and functional connectivity measures in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. Read this and other articles in the full issue: bit.ly/BPL7-2_mailing

In a recent issue (6:1) of the #openaccess #BPLjournal, Nickell et al. report that, in adult male rats, temozolomide inhibits reactive neurogenesis induced by ethanol without impairing recovery acquisition of spatial learning in the Morris Water Maze. content.iospress.com/articles/brain…

Phase 2 pilot study by @thepalab_usc indicates that 12 weeks of simultaneous exercise + #VR cognitive training positively improves measures of brain health in older adults. Read all about it in issue 7:2 of the #openaccess #BPLjournal: content.iospress.com/articles/brain…

Recall this paper from Walsh et al. in #openaccess #BPLjournal issue 7:1? Although anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids upregulate MERTK, DNA promoter regions did not respond directly to dexamethasone treatment. Read it below:

In #openaccess #BPLjournal 7:2, Jarrahi et al. linked VO2max measures with connectivity in networks impaired in #Parkinsons. Cardio was linked with increased functional connectivity between somatosensory motor and cognitive networks. Read it here: content.iospress.com/articles/brain…

📢we're back with another review paper to promote 📢 In #BPLjournal vol. 3 no. 2, Dr. Hai T. Vo et al. broadly reviewed how the klotho protein effects the brain, including roles in neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, and as a therapeutic target. content.iospress.com/articles/brain…

A review published by Dr. Steve Danzer (@CincyChildrens) discusses recent findings of somatic and dendritic abnormalities in newly-generated hippocampal granule cells in preclinical models of temporal lobe epilepsy. #openaccess #BPLjournal Read here: content.iospress.com/articles/brain…

Exercise has been known to improve physical #fitness but how does it affect your brain? Tune in with @FENSorg panel of experts: @GuralSwathi, @Aine_m_kelly, @JimenezPavonD, and Dr. Henriette Van Praag(@BPL_Journal)as they examine exercise & #brainhealth. bit.ly/3OkZdqF

🧠 🏅How can physical activities improve the quality of life in old age? Register for the FENS live webinar "Exercise in Brain Health and Disease" hosted on Neuronline on 28 April 2022 at 5:00 pm CEST. loom.ly/EqMPLgA @aine_m_kelly @BPL_Journal @SfNtweets

An #openaccess #BPLjournal review by Dr. Sreetama Basu and Dr. Hoonkyo Suh (@SuhLabCCF) considers the role of hippocampal neurogenesis and neural circuit activity facilitating allostasis after alcohol exposure and withdrawal. Read it here: content.iospress.com/articles/brain…

⁦@harrylu_TMS⁩ and I are guest-editing a special issue of the 🔥 new journal Addiction Neuroscience on the topic of Emerging Tools to Study the Brain in Addiction Neuroscience We are looking for your original articles, reviews and commentaries. RT🙏 journals.elsevier.com/addiction-neur…

Nickell et al. (@TXAlcoholLab) report temozolomide effectively decreases ethanol-induced neurogenesis in adult male rats without impairing recovery acquisition of spatial learning in the Morris water maze. #openaccess #BPLjournal Read it here: content.iospress.com/articles/brain…
