Neuroplasticity01:01

Neuroplasticity

1.0K
Neuroplasticity reflects the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt and evolve, responding dynamically to learning, experiences, or injury by reorganizing its neural circuitry. This reorganization involves creating new neural connections and refining old ones through a series of biological processes that contribute to the brain's lifelong development and adaptability.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

481
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Plasticity

2.6K
Plasticity is the property where an object loses its elasticity and undergoes irreversible deformation, even after the deformation forces are eliminated. If a material deforms irreversibly without increasing stress or load, then this is called ideal plasticity. For example, when a force is applied to an aluminum rod, it changes its shape, but it does not return to its original shape once the force is removed. Plastic deformation or ductility is thus a permanent deformation or change in the...

Long-term Potentiation

3.0K
Long-term potentiation, or LTP, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTP is the process of synaptic strengthening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic strengthening of LTP works in opposition to the synaptic weakening of long-term depression (LTD) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Auditory Science
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Hearing loss in aging adults often stems from auditory peripheral damage.
  • Emerging evidence suggests hearing loss involves the entire auditory system, not just the periphery.
  • Auditory peripheral damage can lead to increased neural activity throughout the auditory pathway.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review neurophysiological evidence of hyperactivity in the auditory system.
  • To explore auditory perceptual difficulties linked to hyperactivity.
  • To identify conceptual and methodological challenges in studying hyperactivity.

Main Methods:

  • Review of neurophysiological evidence.
  • Analysis of auditory perceptual consequences.
  • Discussion of human and animal electrophysiology studies.

Main Results:

  • Auditory peripheral damage can cause hyperactivity in the auditory system.
  • Hyperactivity may underlie perceptual deficits, affecting spectral, temporal, and spatial hearing.
  • This hyperactivity can impair speech comprehension in noisy environments.

Conclusions:

  • Hyperactivity is a significant factor in age-related hearing problems.
  • Understanding hyperactivity is crucial for addressing speech comprehension difficulties in older adults.
  • Bridging human and animal research can advance the study of auditory system changes in aging.
