Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around finding resources and information on neuroplasticity, specifically its physiological aspects. Participants share various sources, including online databases and specific journals, while also expressing interest in books related to the topic.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests information on neuroplasticity physiology and is open to both internet sources and book recommendations.
  • Another participant suggests using the National Library of Medicine at PubMed for review articles and the National Center for Biotechnology Information for books.
  • A third participant agrees with the PubMed suggestion and recommends Nature Neuroscience for high-quality reviews, emphasizing the importance of searching various phrases related to synaptic plasticity.
  • A different participant shares a link to an animation about long-term potentiation, a specific form of synaptic plasticity, from the University of Toronto.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the usefulness of PubMed and other specific resources for finding information on neuroplasticity, but there is no consensus on the specific aspects of neuroplasticity that should be focused on, as one participant asks for clarification on the exact interests.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve what specific aspects of neuroplasticity are most relevant or how to approach the topic comprehensively, leaving some assumptions about the user's interests unaddressed.

Hi, I was wondering if anybody could point me to where I could find information on neurplasticity? Specifically related to the physiology of it.

Internet sources would be great, but I'd be happy to purchase any books if somebody would make a recommendation. :3

You can search the National Library of Medicine at PubMed: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez/. Click the "Review" for review articles.

You can also search books at the National Center for Biotechnology information: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=Books/ .

Hi,

Like Monique said, Pubmed is probably the best place to start looking for review and journal articles.

Also, Nature neuroscience provides mostly high-quality reviews by respected authors, usually intended for a more general audience.

I recommend you search many phrases like "synaptic plasticity" and "plasticity" to get the full range of possible reviews.

However, be aware that neuroplasticity can refer to a large number of things.

What exactly about plasticity were you interested in?
