          Boosting Brain Plasticity: A New Pathway for PTSD Therapy?

          Researchers discovered that through temporary increases in brain malleability and simultaneous desensitization to fear memories, they could control fear responses in mice. This was achieved by inhibiting the Acan gene, thereby decreasing the presence of the protein Aggrecan, which solidifies and reduces malleability in the brain. The findings point towards potential new avenues for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

          New Insights on Brain Development Sequence Through Adolescence

          In adolescents, brain areas associated with emotional, social, and cognitive functions appear to remain more plastic, or malleable, than other brain areas, thus rendering young people more sensitive to socioeconomic environments throughout adolescence.

          How Prozac Increases Brain Plasticity

          Fluoxetine (Prozac), a common antidepressant, was found to enhance the erasure of learned fear responses and facilitate spatial pattern learning in mice. The study also found the TrkB receptor in PV+ interneurons plays a crucial role in these effects, which may offer new possibilities for the development of psychiatric treatments targeting brain plasticity.

          How Gene Expression Controls Synaptic Plasticity in the Aging Human Brain

          M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) dependent LTP and LTD share a common AMPA trafficking pathway. Either the upregulation of neurotransmitter receptor genes or suppression of the downregulation could improve synaptic dysfunction associated with age-related neurodegeneration. The findings could assist in the creation of new therapies for Alzheimer's disease that target synaptic plasticity.

          Why Congenitally Blind People Show Activity in Visual-Processing Areas of the Brain

          Study reveals structural changes of connectivity in the thalamus to other brain areas in those with congenital blindness, providing evidence of brain plasticity. The areas of the thalamus that connect with the occipital lobe in those with blindness are weaker and smaller, giving space to connections in the temporal cortex which are strengthened.
