Macro-connectomics and microstructure predict dynamic plasticity patterns in the non-human primate brain

The brain displays a remarkable ability to adapt following injury by altering its connections through neural plasticity. However, we know very little about why plasticity occurs in some areas of the brain, and not others. Here we investigated how the …

Alterations in development of hippocampal and cortical memory mechanisms following very preterm birth

Deficits in memory function have been described in children and adolescents who were born very preterm (VPT), which can have profound effects on their school achievement and everyday life. However, to date, little is known about the development of …

Road work on memory lane—Functional and structural alterations to the learning and memory circuit in adults born very preterm

Very preterm (VPT) birth is considered a risk factor not only for neurological impairment, but also for reduced function in several cognitive domains in childhood and later in life. Individuals who were born VPT are more likely to demonstrate …
