Not exact matches

Repeated applications of serotonin, a facilitating transmitter important in behavioral dishabituation and sensitization, produced growth of the sensory neurons that paralleled the long - term enhancement of synaptic strength.

This finding is in accordance with earlier animal model studies, which have shown that physical activity increases the amount of growth factors in the brain and improves synaptic plasticity.

Dr. Stuart Hameroff, lead author on the new TUS study, said: «This suggests TUS may stimulate natural megahertz resonances in brain microtubules, enhancing not only mood and conscious mental states, but perhaps also microtubule functions in synaptic plasticity, nerve growth and repair.

In the realm of pure research, we are steadily gaining a better understanding of how galaxies form; how a single fertilized egg turns into a fruit fly or a congressman; how synaptic growth supports long - term memory.

The long - term facilitation of synaptic efficacy that is induced by serotonin in dissociated cell cultures of sensory and motor neurons of Aplysia is accompanied by the growth of new synaptic connections.

Synaptic activity and activity - dependent competition regulates axon arbor maturation, growth arrest, and territory in the retinotectal projection.

The women's immune systems — in mounting a response against the synaptic receptors present in the ovarian growths — inadvertently attacked a receptor in the brain called N - methyl - D - aspartate receptor, or NMDAR.

These neurotrophic factors stimulate the differentiation, growth and maintenance of developing neurons in addition to the survival of mature neurons, and are key players in synaptic plasticity [55, 56], cognition and memory formation [57 — 62].

Haghighi studies synaptic growth, function and plasticity in both normal and diseased animals, aiming to identify the very earliest malfunctions in synaptic function.

By affecting the rate of cell differentiation and gene expression, thyroid hormones regulate the growth and migration of neurons, including synaptic development and myelin formation in specific brain regions.

Indeed, insulin plays many vital roles in the brain: it mediates neuronal growth and metabolism, neurotransmission, and synaptic plasticity; promotes neuronal survival by inhibiting apoptosis; and regulates cognition and memory.

Studies show that nitric oxide signaling and the blood flow increases it stimulates play a central role in nerve cell maintenance, growth and repair.,, Most pertinent to anyone looking to enhance their aptitude for learning, nitric oxide - induced blood flow also makes forming new memories physically possible as it plays a key role in what neurologists call long - term potentiation, a process required for assembling and reinforcing new synaptic connections throughout the entire cerebral cortex, striatum, and hippocampus.
