Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the Central Nervous System (CNS) to alter its structure and function in response to a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as development, cognition, injury or neurological diseases. Since more than four decades, studies on synaptic plasticity in the context of memory and learning attracted a remarkable interest. Soon after first seminal works on synaptic plasticity were published, research in this field was extended by studies on non-synaptic as wells as structural plasticity towards a goal to understand cellular and molecular determinants of cognition. Over the past two decades, yet two additional crucial players in neuroplastic ...
Fast inhibitory transmission exerts a powerful control on neuronal excitability and network oscillations thought to be associated with high cognitive functions. An alteration of inhibitory signaling is associated with major neurological and psychiatric disorders including epilepsy. Once released from presynaptic nerve terminals, GABA and glycine cross the synaptic cleft and bind to postsynaptic receptors localized in precise apposition to presynaptic release sites. The functional organization of inhibitory synapses consists in a dynamic process which relies on a number of highly specialized proteins that ensure the correct targeting, clustering, stabilization and subsequent fate of synaptic ...
First published in 1943, Vitamins and Hormones is the longest-running serial published by Academic Press. The Editorial Board now reflects expertise in the field of hormone action, vitamin action, X-ray crystal structure, physiology, and enzyme mechanisms. Under the capable and qualified editorial leadership of Dr. Gerald Litwack, Vitamins and Hormones continues to publish cutting-edge reviews of interest to endocrinologists, biochemists, nutritionists, pharmacologists, cell biologists, and molecular biologists. Others interested in the structure and function of biologically active molecules like hormones and vitamins will, as always, turn to this series for comprehensive reviews by leading contributors to this and related disciplines. This volume focuses on hormones of the limbic system. - Longest running series published by Academic Press - Contributions by leading international authorities
W książce omówiono popularne tezy, niepoparte wynikami naukowych badań empirycznych, i mity na temat metod nauczania, wychowania, pomocy psychopedagogicznej dla dzieci i młodzieży. Przedstawiono psychologiczne mechanizmy i wyjaśniono, dlaczego łatwo dać się uwieść pseudonauce, kierując się dobrymi intencjami. Adresaci: Publikacja przeznaczona jest dla nauczycieli, psychologów, pedagogów, terapeutów pedagogicznych i rodziców uczniów. Zainteresuje również studentów kierunków nauczycielskich, psychologii, pedagogiki. "(...) to książka niezwykle ważna, potrzebna i rzadka. Autor rozprawia się z obecnymi w edukacji mitami nie tylko z pozycji obiektywnego obserwatora, lec...
