Recent research using magnetic resonance imaging has documented changes in the adult
human brain's grey matter structure induced by alterations in experiential demands. We …

The development of advanced noninvasive techniques to image the human brain has
enabled the demonstration of structural plasticity during adulthood in response to motor …

Cardiovascular activity has been shown to be positively associated with gray and white
matter volume of, amongst others, frontal and temporal brain regions in older adults. This is …

The human brain is plastic, ie it can show structural changes in response to the altered
environment. Physical activity (PA) is a lifestyle factor which has significant associations with …

Over the last two decades, numerous human MRI studies of neuroplasticity have shown
compelling evidence for extensive and rapid experience-induced brain plasticity in vivo. To …

Humans undergo extensive sensorimotor adaptation during spaceflight due to altered
vestibular inputs and body unloading. No studies have yet evaluated the effects of …

Sleep is necessary for the optimal consolidation of procedural learning, and in particular, for
motor sequential skills. Motor sequence learning remains intact with age, but sleep …

Training-induced changes in cortical structure can be observed non-invasively with
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). While macroscopic changes were found mainly after …

Experience‐dependent structural changes are widely evident in gray matter. Using diffusion
weighted imaging (DWI), the neuroplastic effect of motor training on white matter in the brain …

Evidence for experience-dependent structural brain change in adult humans is
accumulating. However, its time course is not well understood, as intervention studies …
