Neuroplasticity subserving motor skill learning (2011, neutral): “Diffusion MRI-based measures, such as fractional anisotropy (FA), are believed to reflect white matter integrity (Fields, 2008), providing a distinctive insight into the microstructural properties of white matter in vivo (Le Bihan et al., 2001; Mori and Zhang, 2006).”
Musical training as a framework for brain plasticity: behavior, function, and structure. (2012, background): “, 1995), since temporal synchrony in distant cortical regions would be required to implement the necessary sensory-motor processes to play an instrument, which in turn would benefit from better-organized or more myelinated tracts (Fields, 2008).”
Oligodendrocyte Dynamics in the Healthy Adult CNS: Evidence for Myelin Remodeling (2013, background): “…is conceivable that adult-born OLs simply myelinate the previously unmyelinated axons in those regions, perhaps changing the functionality of that circuit and contributing in some way to neural plasticity (e.g., motor skills learning) (Fields, 2008; Richardson et al., 2011; Zatorre et al., 2012).”
In vivo histology of the myelin g-ratio with magnetic resonance imaging (2015, background): “In addition to changes in the myelin thickness during development, variations in the g-ratio have also been associated with cognition and disease (see Fields (2008) for a review).”
Diffusion MRI at 25: Exploring brain tissue structure and function (2012, background): “…we would expect that individual differences in structural features of white matter, such as myelination, axon density or axon diameter, would have consequences for the physiological properties of an axon bundle — affecting properties such as conduction times or synchronization (Fields, 2008).”
Myelination and support of axonal integrity by glia (2010, background): “Although these changes affected the intracortical oligodendrocytes, MRI also revealed the loss of subcortical white matter in patients with schizophrenia, depression and bipolar disorde”
Prolonged myelination in human neocortical evolution (2012, background): “For example, schizophrenia is associated with abnormal myelination of the cortical white matter, particularly in the prefrontal cortex (52).”
Understanding structural plasticity in the bilingual brain: The Dynamic Restructuring Model (2019, background): “What is important to understand are the mechanisms that lead to these adaptations; in the context of learning literature, improvements in behaviour have their biological bases in changes in the conduction velocity and synchronisation of nervous signals, and consolidation of new information is subjec”
