Potential Role of Synaptic Activity to Inhibit LTD Induction in Rat Visual Cortex by Matthew R. Stewart, Hans C. Dringenberg

“…Interestingly, LFS is highly effective in eliciting LTD in vitro, but much less so under in vivo conditions; the reasons for the resistance of the intact brain to express LTD are not well understood. We examined if levels of background electrocorticographic (ECoG) activity influence LTD induction in the thalamocortical visual system of rats under very deep urethane anesthesia, inducing a brain state of reduced spontaneous cortical activity. …”

Rationale for the Use of Cord Blood in Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy by Izabela Zdolińska-Malinowska, Dariusz Boruczkowski, Dominika Hołowaty, Paweł Krajewski, Emilian Snarski

“…In several animal models of HIE, CB decreased oxidative stress, cell death markers, CD4+ T cell infiltration, and microglial activation; restored normal brain metabolic activity; promoted neurogenesis; improved myelination; and increased the proportion of mature oligodendrocytes, neuron numbers in the motor cortex and somatosensory cortex, and brain weight. …”

Intervention and assessment of executive dysfunction in patients with stroke: A scoping review. by Katsuya Sakai, Yuichiro Hosoi, Junpei Tanabe

“…Rehabilitation methods for executive dysfunction were focused on cognitive rehabilitation in patients with stroke and traumatic brain injury. However, no reviews have focused on the various rehabilitation methods and assessment of executive function in patients with only stroke and included various study designs. …”

Harnessing the Multi-Phasal Nature of Speech-EEG for Enhancing Imagined Speech Recognition by Rini Sharon, Mriganka Sur, Hema Murthy

“…Analyzing speech-electroencephalogram (EEG) is pivotal for developing non-invasive and naturalistic brain-computer interfaces. Recognizing that the nature of human communication involves multiple phases like audition, imagination, articulation, and production, this study uncovers the shared cognitive imprints that represent speech cognition across these phases. …”

Plasticity of Neuron-Glial Transmission: Equipping Glia for Long-Term Integration of Network Activity by Wayne Croft, Katharine L. Dobson, Tomas C. Bellamy

“…In this review, we summarize current examples of plasticity in neuron-glial transmission, in many brain regions and neurotransmitter pathways. We argue that induction of glial plasticity typically requires repetitive neuronal firing over long time periods (minutes-hours) rather than the short-lived, stereotyped trigger typical of canonical long-term potentiation. …”

Rodent Models of Developmental Ischemic Stroke for Translational Research: Strengths and Weaknesses by Mariangela Gennaro, Alessandro Mattiello, Tommaso Pizzorusso

“…Cerebral ischemia can occur at any stage in life, but clinical consequences greatly differ depending on the developmental stage of the affected brain structures. Timing of the lesion occurrence seems to be critical, as it strongly interferes with neuronal circuit development and determines the way spontaneous plasticity takes place. …”
