Primary sensory neurons respond to peripheral stimulation by projecting to the spinal cord, where a population of neurons respond to damaging stimuli and terminate in the superficial layers of the dorsal horn. Therefore, the dorsal horns constitute the first relay site for nocic…
The influence of experience during brain development was investigated on juvenile behavior, adult amphetamine sensitization, and neuronal structural plasticity in rats. Two experiential factors (i.e., tactile stimulation and stress) were studied either before or soon after birth…
The real story of how our brains and nervous systems change throughout our lifetimes -- with or without ""brain training."" In the twentieth century, neuroscientists thought that a mature brain was fixed like a fly in amber, unable to change. In the twenty-first century, we kno…
A concise and engaging overview of neuroplasticity for the general reader, describing how our brains change continuously in response to our actions and experiences. --Cover.
