Hippocampal Neurogenesis, Depressive Disorders, and Antidepressant Therapy by Eleni Paizanis, Michel Hamon, Laurence Lanfumey

“…In particular, the stimulation of hippocampal neurogenesis by all types of antidepressant drugs supports the view that neuroplastic phenomena are involved in the physiopathology of depression and underlie—at least partly—antidepressant therapy.…”

Differences in Cortical Representation and Structural Connectivity of Hands and Feet between Professional Handball Players and Ballet Dancers by Jessica Meier, Marlene Sofie Topka, Jürgen Hänggi

“…Most studies, however, compared experts with nonexperts; hence it is, specifically for sports, unclear whether the neuroplastic adaptations reported are sport-specific or sport-general. …”

Neurocognitive and Reactive Return to Play Testing Protocol in Overhead Athletes Following Upper Extremity Injury by Kevin E Wilk, Zachary M Thomas, Robert E Mangine, Paul Fuller, George J Davies

“…In our clinical experiences, objective testing to allow for clearance to sport participation should incorporate neurocognitive and reactive testing to promote improvements in the athlete's ability to dual task and focus/concentrate on the multi-dimensional tasks at hand. We know that neuroplastic changes occur following UE injury resulting in decreased proprioception and increased motor activation with simple UE tasks. …”

Pairing Cholinergic Enhancement with Perceptual Training Promotes Recovery of Age-Related Changes in Rat Primary Auditory Cortex by Patrice Voss, Maryse Thomas, You Chien Chou, José Miguel Cisneros-Franco, Lydia Ouellet, Etienne de Villers-Sidani

“…Overall, these findings demonstrate that combining auditory training with neuromodulation of the cholinergic system can restore many of the auditory cortical functional deficits observed as a result of normal aging and add to the growing body of evidence demonstrating that many age-related perceptual and neuroplastic changes are reversible.…”
