Abstract
A window into the molecular basis of human brain plasticity
Highlights
Cortical plasticity can be defined as the process whereby brain cortex changes in response to experience or environment
Insights into underlying events have largely been at the systems level, via functional neuroimaging. It is in this context that the report of Cheeran et al (2008) in this issue of The Journal of Physiology provides welcomed new insights into molecular correlates of cortical plasticity in the human brain
These authors used non-invasive methods in healthy human subjects to characterize the effects that a single nucleotide polymorphism in the gene for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has on three neurophysiological measures related to cortical plasticity
Summary
Cortical plasticity can be defined as the process whereby brain cortex changes in response to experience or environment. Title A window into the molecular basis of human brain plasticity. A window into the molecular basis of human brain plasticity
