Editor's Notes
- #8 Once we stop practicing a certain activity, the brain will redirect these neuronal circuits. “the ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, functions, or connections”
- #9 basis of his treatment for people who suffered vestibular damage. He patented an appliance which when connected to one’s tongue, stimulates receptors by vibrations in a frequency and amplitude in correlation with pixel analysis from the surroundings
- #13 when the presynaptic neuron stimulates the postsynaptic neuron, the postsynaptic neuron responds by adding more neurotransmitter receptors, which lowers the threshold that is needed to be stimulated by the presynaptic neuron
- #21 motor skill learning is associated with synaptogenesis and changes in dendritic spine morphology
- #24 after a hemispherectomy (where one half of the cerebral cortex is removed, typically due to intractable seizures at a young age), the brain can reorganize the remaining half to restore lost function : functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- #25 predominant theory is that there is disinhibition from the loss of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA-energic) neurons that leads to a combination of neurotoxicity and retrograde degeneration.
- #30 Role in Brain Organization ; prenatal tactile stimulation (i.e., stimulation of the pregnant dam), exercise during pregnancy, prenatal stress and psychoactive drugs.
