Meanings of structural plasticity in English

The homologous ChSeqs discovered highlight the structural plasticity involved in biological function.

However, the mechanisms underlying structural plasticity of the AIS are not well understood.

Less is known about shoot structural plasticity following external manipulations, such as pruning.

This structural plasticity is accompanied by rapid fluctuations in internal scaffold density over submicron distances.

The diversity of histone variants results in structural plasticity of chromatin and highlights functionally distinct chromosomal domains.

Indeed, it is now well accepted that addictive drugs produce long-lasting molecular and structural plasticity changes in corticostriatal-limbic loops.

These data demonstrate structural plasticity of the MPS and suggest its potential role in early steps of axon degeneration.

Here, we tested whether non-ionotropic NMDAR signaling could also play a role in driving structural plasticity of dendritic spines.

The structural plasticity of dendritic spines is considered to be essential for various forms of synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory.

AMPAR trafficking and hippocampal LTD do not involve S387 phosphorylation, defining this mechanism as a specific pathway for structural plasticity.

Transcription factors are essential nuclear proteins that trigger the expression of gene programs required for long-term functional and structural plasticity changes.

Genes displaying both differential methylation and expression in activated neurons define a network of proteins regulating neuronal excitability and structural plasticity.

Despite decades of evidence for functional plasticity in the adult brain, the role of structural plasticity in its manifestation remains unclear.

Use of the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin blunts the effects of FLX on body weight and on functional and structural plasticity of POMC neurons.

Adolescence is also characterized by a structural reorganization of PFC neurons, yet interactions between stress- and age-related structural plasticity are still being determined.

Altogether these findings indicate that the DNA binding modes of Rap1 influence its functional properties, thus highlighting the structural plasticity of this protein.
