AI Thread Summary
Information on neuroplasticity, particularly its physiological aspects, can be found through various reputable sources. The National Library of Medicine's PubMed is recommended for accessing review articles and journal publications. The National Center for Biotechnology Information also offers a database for relevant books. Nature Neuroscience is highlighted as a source for high-quality reviews aimed at a general audience. It's suggested to use specific search terms like "synaptic plasticity" to explore the topic comprehensively. Additionally, the University of Toronto provides an informative animation on long-term potentiation, a key concept in synaptic plasticity, which can enhance understanding of the subject.

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?

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
