Human adult cortical reorganization and consequent visual distortion.
Neural and behavioral evidence for cortical reorganization in the adult somatosensory system after loss of sensory input (e.g., amputation) has been well documented. In contrast, evidence for reorganization in the adult visual system is far less clear: neural evidence is the subject of controversy, behavioral evidence is sparse, and studies combining neural and behavioral evidence have not prev...
متن کاملRapid homeostatic plasticity in the intact adult visual system.
Neurons may possess activity-dependent homeostatic mechanisms that permit them to globally alter synaptic strength as activity varies. We used the retinotectal projection of goldfish to test this idea in the intact adult CNS. We first altered tectal neuron activity by selectively manipulating excitatory input. When excitatory synaptic drive to tectal neurons was eliminated by blocking optic fib...
متن کاملEpidermal growth factor induces rapid reorganization of the actin microfilament system in human A431 cells.
Double immunofluorescence microscopy reveals that epidermal growth factor (EGF) treatment of A431 cells results in more apparent co-localization of EGF receptor (EGFR) and actin filaments, as compared to control cells. This indicates that EGF induces actin polymerization as well as additional association of the EGFR with similar sites on the membrane-skeleton. We show that immunoprecipitation o...
متن کاملRapid functional reorganization in human cortex following neural perturbation.
Despite the human brain's ability to rapidly reorganize neuronal activity patterns in response to interactions with the environment (e.g., learning), it remains unclear whether compensatory mechanisms occur, on a similar time scale, in response to exogenous cortical perturbations. To investigate this, we disrupted normal neural function via repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and asses...
متن کاملthe role of visual aids and translation in teaching vocabulary in est
the present study investigated the effect of the two vocabulary teaching techniques in est, namely the use of translation and the use of visual aids as two separate vocabulary teaching techniques. to answer the question of the study, a pretest (michigan test) was administered to the 58 randomly selected est students at khajeh nasiredin tusi university, faculty of mechanics. after the homogeneit...
