EXPERIENCE-DEPENDENT PLASTICITY IN WHITE MATTER MICROSTRUCTURE: REASONING TRAINING ALTERS STRUCTURAL CONNECTIVITY

Experience-dependent plasticity in white matter microstructure: Reasoning training alters structural connectivity

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) techniques have made it possible to investigate white matter plasticity in humans.Changes in DTI measures, principally increases in fractional anisotropy (FA), have been observed following training programs as diverse as juggling, meditation, and working memory.Here, we sought to test whether three months of reasoning

Ambiguously Divided Responsibilities across Government Spheres: How they Impact the Policy Process and Result in Coordination Problems in the Case of Poland

Empirical studies in decentralized settings associate ambiguities in the division of responsibilities between government spheres with coordination problems.This study explores the mechanisms behind this association, mainly drawing on in-depth interviews with local government officials in Poland.A typology emerges from the data.Ambiguities can refer
