"Norman Doidge shows how the amazing process of neuroplastic healing really works. He describes natural, non-invasive avenues into the brain provided by the forms of energy around us - light, sound, vibration, movement - which pass through our senses and our bodies to awaken the brain's own healing capacities without producing unpleasant side effects."

"Brain plasticity is the focus of a growing body of research with significant implications for neurorehabilitation. This state-of-the-art volume explores ways in which brain-injured individuals may be helped not only to compensate for their loss of cognitive abilities, but also possibly to restore those abilities. Expert contributors examine the extent to which damaged cortical regions can actually recover and resume previous functions, as well as how intact regions are recruited to take on tasks once mediated by the damaged region. Evidence-based rehabilitation approaches are reviewed for a range of impairments and clinical populations, including both children and adults."

"Olahraga aerobik terbukti mampu meningkatkan struktur dan fungsi kognitif. Data tentang jenis olahraga aerobik yang terbaik untuk menjaga keseimbangan oksidatif, serta memicu angiogenesis dan neuroplastisitas di berbagai regio otak masih terbatas. Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh olahraga aerobik halang rintang terhadap kadar neuroglobin otak, protein pemicu angiogenesis, neuroplastisitas di hipokampus dan korteks prefrontal, serta fungsi memori relasional. Mencit Mus musculus CBS-Swiss strain jantan berusia 10 bulan dilatih berlari di roda berjalan yang diberi halang rintang, berlari dengan kecepatan 10 m/menit, 30 menit/hari, 5 hari/minggu sambil melewati halang rintang untuk setiap 78 cm. Tiga jenis halang rintang diganti setiap 3 hari. Kelompok pembanding adalah mencit yang berlari dengan kecepatan dan waktu yang sama, namun tanpa halang rintang, serta kelompok kontrol yang tidak berolahraga. Kadar neuroglobin otak tidak berbeda bermakna pada tiga kelompok mencit. Latihan lari halang rintang memberikan efek lebih baik dibanding lari tanpa halang rintang pada kadar developmentally regulated brain protein-A (drebrin-A) di hipokampus. Kedua kelompok olahraga memiliki efek yang lebih baik dibanding kontrol pada ekspresi vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF), kadar drebrin-A, dan paired associative cognitive test. Olahraga aerobik kompleks memicu neuroplastisitas yang lebih baik dibanding aerobik sederhana di hipokampus. Kedua tipe olahraga aerobik mampu meningkatkan angiogenesis dan neuroplastisitas di otak, dan meningkatkan kemampuan memori relasional. Olahraga aerobik tidak meningkatkan kadar neuroglobin secara bermakna. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa intensitas olahraga aerobik memberikan efek hipoksia yang dapat ditoleransi oleh jaringan otak.

Aerobic exercise has been proven to improve of cognitive structure and function. Study about the type of aerobic exercise affects on angiogenesis, neuroplasticity and oxidative homeostasis in brain?s specific regions is still limited. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of hurdle aerobic exercise on brain neuroglobin level, angiogenesis and neuroplasticity proteins in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, and relational memory among middle aged CBS-Swiss strain mice. Mice, age 10 months were subjected to hurdle running wheel for 8 weeks. They ran at speed of 10 m/min, 30 min/day, and 5 days/week with hurdles for every 78 cm. Three types of hurdles were changed for every 3 days. Another group of same age mice ran at same speed, time, and period, without hurdle as comparison, while other control group never exercises. The hurdle group exercise has significant higher level of developmentally regulated brain protein-A (drebrin- A) in hippocampus compared to non-hurdle group. Both of exercise groups have significant higher ability on paired associative cognitive test, and they have significant higher expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and higher level of drebrin-A compared to control. Neuroglobin level was not significant different among of all groups. More complex aerobic exercise has better effect on hippocampus neuroplasticity. Both of aerobic exercise has better effect on angiogenesis and neuroplasticity in the brain, and also on cognitive function. Aerobic exercise does not resulting high hypoxic stress and could be tolerated by brain."

ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Motor imagery is known to affect motor function of upper limbs in chronic ischemic stroke patients. However, the effect of motor imagery on molecular neuroplasticity in chronic ischemic stroke patients is not yet established. This study aims to determine the efect of motor imagery on upper limb function and neuroplasticity of chronic ischemic stroke patients.METHODS: We reported 3 cases of chronic ischemic stroke. The first case was a 40-year-old woman with stroke onset 5 years and comorbid systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The second case was a 53-year-old woman with a first strokte of 3 years onset, comorbid hypertension and diabetes mellitus type 2. The third case was a 51-year-old with third recurrent stroke of 1 year onset, comorbid hypertension and hyperlipidemia. We performed motor imagery 1 session per week for 12 weeks, with a duration of 20 minutes per session, using single electrode portable electroencephalograph (EEG) guidance. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory-13 (CAHAI-13) before and after intervention. Neuroplasticity parameters were measured from serum Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) levels which were assessed at pre-intervention, week 6, and week 12 post-intervention.RESULTS: Clinically significant recovery of upper limb function was found in the second case with an increase in the CAHAI-13 score of 21 points, accompanied by an increase in serum BDNF levels at week 6 which was relatively stable at week 12. In the third case, there was an increase in the CAHAI-13 score which was not clinically significant, while in the first case there was no change. Serum BDNF levels in the first and third cases had the same tendency, which increased at week 6 and decreased at week 12, with the levels still higher than pre-intervention levels.CONCLUSION: Motor imagery 1 session per week for 12 weeks, with the duration of 20 minutes per session, has been shown to have an effect on neuroplasticity of chronic ischemic stroke patients, and on motor recovery of limbs in patient with first chronic ischemic stroke of 3 years onset."

""Summarizing the evidence and highlighting research from the past 20 years, the authors discuss lateralization from four perspectives - function, evolution, development, and causation - covering a wide range of animals including humans. The evolution of lateralization is traced from our earlier ancestors, through fish and reptiles to birds and mammals. The benefits of having a divided brain are discussed, as well as the influence of experience on its development. A final chapter discusses outstanding problems and areas for further investigation.""

Adolescents are susceptible to disorders, including unconventional lifestyle, behavior, physical and psychological growth. The role of physical activity or sports becomes a means to prevent adolescent children from negative influences. However, this sporting activity is not taken out regularly, and the duration is very short both in the school and the enclosing circumstances. Sports at school tend to be shorter. At present, many teenagers do Futsal sports. Futsal exercise is useful for improving physical fitness, neuroplasticity. However, futsal can also affect physical stress and oxidative stress-pre-post test design in adolescents aged 13-15 years. The research subjects were 27 people (unusual for playing futsal) divided randomly into three treatment groups, exercise frequency (FO) 1x, 3x, and 5x per week. The initial stage of the research is preparation for futsal and parameter data collection, the stage of treatment for futsal for eight weeks, and the last stage of data taking post parameters, one day after treatment. This research has passed the ethical review of the FKUI Ethics Commission. Physical fitness normally found to increase significantly at FO3 and FO5. Attention and memory are found to increase in FO1, FO3, and FO5. Surprisingly, BDNF was only detected in only the FO3 group. IGF-1 was found to increase significantly in the FO1, FO3, and FO5 groups. Increased levels of Cortisol and MDA was simply observed in the FO5 group. The results of the study found optimal and safe exercise in adolescents, namely the frequency of futsal exercise 3 times a week compared to futsal one times and five times for physical fitness, neuroplasticity, physical stress and oxidative stress in adolescents.

"The focus of this volume is on critical epigenetic regulation and chromatin remodeling events that occur in the nervous system and on the presumed mechanisms that operate within neurons to translate them into long-lasting neuronal responses.Recent years have seen spectacular advances in the filed of epigenetics. These have attracted the interest of researchers in many fields and evidence connecting epigentic regulation to brain functions has been accumulationg. Neurons daily convert a variety of external stimuli into rapid or long-lasting changes in gene expression. A variety of studies have centered on the molcular mechanisms implicated in epigentic control and how these may operte in concert. It will be critical to unravel how specifity is achieved. The focus of this volume is on critical epigenetic regulation and chromatin remodeling events that occur in the nervous system and on the presumed mechanisms that operate within neurons to translate them into long-lasting neuronal responses."
