Sentence examples for maintain structural plasticity from inspiring English sources

Mushroom spines are stable and represent mature synapses, while thin spines are transient and maintain structural plasticity [ 39].

The results from our studies indicate that neural activity plays an important role in maintaining structural plasticity of presynaptic compartments in the central nervous system and provide new insight into the time-frame during which activity can affect the morphology of synaptic connections.

It is possible that disease-causing mutations may function by perturbing the local environment near the organizing F-helix, which is responsible for maintaining structural plasticity and correct positioning of the key catalytic and regulatory spine regions [85] [87].

We found that activity played an important role in maintaining the structural plasticity of the core region of the mossy fiber terminal (MFT) that synapses onto CA3 pyramidal cell thorny excrescences but was not essential for the motility of terminal filopodial extensions that contact local inhibitory neurons.

Our results resembles the sliding threshold of the BCM [46] model, and demonstrates that structural plasticity may provide a negative feedback loop to maintain synaptic strength and plasticity within a functional dynamic range.

Although the overall structural integrity is well maintained and they exhibit similar mechanism of activation, subtle conformational changes and structural plasticity especially in the flexible loop regions and domain interfaces lead to differences in their active site conformation and hence in their specificity and functions.

It revealed extensive structural plasticity of the remaining community, which rearranged itself through rewiring, while maintaining its functionality.

Furthermore, they maintain a remarkable presence in the adult brain, especially in regions characterized by a high degree of structural plasticity in adulthood, such as the hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cerebellum [2], [4] [6].
