Abstract The present review aimed to investigate the effectiveness of aerobic exercise (AE) compared to other interventions in decreasing pain intensity and reducing disability in individuals with neck pain. A systematic review (SR) of randomized controlled trials was conducted. This SR was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021231231).

THE ROLE OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS IN ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE: ANIMAL RESEARCH [PDF]
— Animal studies have demonstrated that alcohol changes neurotransrrutter concentrations in the brain. These changes in levels of dopamine, serotonin, ^aminobutync acid (GABA), endogenous opioid peptides, and noradrcnaline are associated with activation ...

Mitochondrial control of ciliary gene expression and structure in striatal neurons
Abstract figure legend Neurons drive animal behaviour by receiving and transmitting information and require energy, primarily supplied by mitochondria, to function. Additionally, neurons need to sense environmental changes to adapt, a function that is locally played by the primary cilia.

ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that play a critical role in nervous system function by transmitting signals between cells and their environment. They are involved in many, if not all, nervous system processes, and their dysfunction has been linked to various neurological disorders representing important
