Jordan Michael is a high school basketball phenom, who eats, sleeps and breathes ball. He takes 1,000 jump shots per day and has developed a precise three-point shot, reflected by his 65% three-point shooting percentage. This is an example of.


What is repetition?

200

Build up of fluid in areas where it is not supposed to may lead to motor limitations.

What is edema?

200

Good starting point to facility motor learning and neuroplasticity 

 

- what is aerobic based therapy

200

Involves a functional change with no new synapses vs involves a structural change with new synaptic release site.

What is short term vs long term potentiation?

200

Becoming hyper-alert after being startled in the forest by a loud and scary sound.

What is short-term sensitization?

300

Temporary loss of function in intact neural tissue due to impaired input of damaged neural tissue is what motor limitation.

What is diaschisis?

300

When neurons are engaged at the same time during the same activity, the strength of the connections grows and becomes stronger. This demonstrates the concept of: “neurons that…”

What is “neurons that fire together wire together?”

300

Behaviors that are rewarded tend to be repeated at the cost of other behaviors.

What is Operant conditioning?

Jann Mardenborough is a professional GT racer who had no racing experience prior to winning a Gran Turismo (video game) tournament. Following the tournament, he was given an opportunity to compete professionally, where he eventually became a pro and finished top-three at 24-hour Le Mans. This is a real-life example of. 

What is transference? 

400

This state limits motor learning through excessive firing, new formation of connections, and creating maladaptive patterns.

What is hyperexcitability?

400

Recruitment of previously silent synapses occurs during recovery of function, which suggests that structural synapses are present in many areas of the brain that may not normally be functional due to competition within neuronal pathways. This describes…

What is unmasking of silence synapses?

400

A person learns to predict relationships either through one stimulus to another or one behavior to a consequence. 

What is associative learning?

400

Jack is a world-champion professional surfer who recently discovered a new passion for skiing. Jack is training to win Gold in the upcoming Mega Mountain National Race. He trains for four hours per day, six days per week at high altitude, but is having difficulty improving his speed in large part due to the technique being significantly different from surfing. This is an example of.

What is interference?

500

The downregulation of this neurotransmitter may lead to increased angiogenesis and NMDA receptor binding

What is GABA?

In Parkinson's disease, the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra leads to the striatum's postsynaptic neurons becoming hypersensitive to the remaining dopamine this is an example of ...

What is Denervation Supersensitivity?

500
The Non-afflicted Primary Motor Cortex (M1) impedes recovery of the afflicted (ipsilesional) M1 as a result of a lesion. 


What is interhemispheric inhibition?

500

A second type of non-declarative or implicit learning. A person learns to predict relationships, one stimulus to another (classical conditioning) or one’s behavior to a consequence (operant conditioning).

What is function—disabling plasicity?
