Studies have shown the involvement of HD membrane in the genesis of oxidative stress (OS) which has a direct impact on the brain tissue and is expected to be involved in brain plasticity and also reorganization of brain function control.
Although it is thought that young children have a higher capability of neurogenesis than older children and adults which leads to better structural repair of brain tissue, and it is known they have a higher plasticity of the brain that allows intact parts to take over functions of damaged areas, early disruption of the developing brain may leads to more functional damage [ 40- 43].
Interestingly, synaptopodin was also identified in brain tissue, and its absence was associated with deficits in activity-dependent synaptic plasticity [ 36, 37].
They have frozen brain tissue, and they have burned it.
αMUPA mice carry as a transgene, the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) [ 217], an extracellular fibrinolytic serine protease implicated in tissue remodelling [ 218] and brain development and plasticity [ 219- 224].
Since these studies were based on fixed brain tissue, so far, dendritic spine plasticity has not been analyzed in a tauopathy mouse model in vivo.

It was euthanized and brain tissue was sent for diagnosis".
Synaptic function and plasticity were assessed in acute brain tissue slices, with the experimenter blinded to the genotype under investigation.
In a further bid to identify candidate genes that display modified expression patterns associated with this phenotypic plasticity, we prepared a multifunctional cDNA array from a combined sample of facial and brain tissues of normal and bulgy morph tadpoles.
Here, we sought to profile the transcriptome that might be important for predator-induced phenotypic plasticity and therefore used facial plus brain tissue samples for the functional microarray analysis.
