Induced and Evoked Properties of Vibrotactile Adaptation in the Primary Somatosensory Cortex by Nicolaas A. J. Puts, Richard A. E. Edden, Suresh Muthukumaraswamy, Krish D. Singh, David J. McGonigle

“…Prolonged exposure to afferent stimulation (“adaptation”) can cause profound short-term changes in the responsiveness of cortical sensory neurons. While several models have been proposed that link adaptation to single-neuron dynamics, including GABAergic inhibition, the process is currently imperfectly understood at the whole-brain level in humans. …”

Effects of exercise training on nigrostriatal neuroprotection in Parkinson’s disease: a systematic review by Shahid Ishaq, Iqbal Ali Shah, Shin-Da Lee, Shin-Da Lee, Bor-Tsang Wu

“…It also inhibited the ASC and NLRP3 inflammasome complex and reduced the BAX/ Bcl-2 ratio and caspase-1/3 proteins, thereby decreasing neuronal apoptosis in the nigrostriatum. Exercise training elevated the expression of Pro-BDNF, BDNF, GDNF, TrkB, and Erk1/2, providing neurotrophic support to dopaminergic neurons. …”
