Managerial learning: first notes from an unstudied frontier

Article Abstract:

Low, medium, and high learning activities among managers can be differentiated; the categorization of which is systematically associated with various organizational and personal variables. The learning of 43 managers from a 7000-employee Canadian municipal bureaucracy is examined, and the effect of context, job, and person variables analyzed. Four role demands are identified that influence managerial learning: staff management, change, influence, and personal style. Understanding managerial learning entails moving beyond evaluation of training interventions to examination of the complex interactions between learning, the individual, the job, and the organizational context.

Activity-dependent neuronal plasticity following tissue injury and inflammation

Article Abstract:

A study was done on the activity-dependent neuronal plasticity following tissue injury and inflammation. It was shown that tissue injury produces an increase in neuronal activity which facilitate changes in gene expression and prolonged changes in the nervous system. Dynorphin, substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide and excitatory amino acids were involved in the process described as an initial dorsal horn hyperexcitability followed by excessive depolarization and excitotoxicity.
