Benzodiazepine receptors and the control of ingestive behaviour in the rat [PDF]

, 1996
When administered systemically, benzodiazepine receptor agonists have been shown to increase food intake in a number of species. Conversely, benzodiazepine receptor inverse agonists bring about reliable decreases in feeding.

Nanomaterial‐based immune therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative diseases

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights the immunomodulatory potential of nanomaterials (NMs) in treating neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). It focuses on their roles in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses to maintain immune homeostasis. By providing insights into these mechanisms, the review lays the groundwork for innovative NMs therapeutic strategies to ...

A neuro‐behavioural model of neophobia

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fear can be defined as the internal neurological state that releases a repertoire of behaviours an animal performs to reduce the effect of an aversive factor. Neophobia, the fear of novelty, is a fundamental behavioural trait observed across a wide range of species from arthropods to humans.

Dietary Salt Levels Affect Salt Preference and Learning in Larval Drosophila

, 2011
Drosophila larvae change from exhibiting attraction to aversion as the concentration of salt in a substrate is increased. However, some aversive concentrations appear to act as positive reinforcers, increasing attraction to an odour with which they have ...

A Systematic Analysis of Drosophila Gustatory Receptor Gene Expression in Abdominal Neurons which Project to the Central Nervous System [PDF]

Molecules and Cells, 2011
In Drosophila, the gustatory receptor (Gr) gene family contains 60 family members that encode 68 proteins through alternative splicing. Some gustatory receptors (Grs) are involved in the sensing of sugars, bitter substrates, CO(2), pheromones, and light. Here, we systematically examined the expression of all 68 Grs in abdominal neurons which project to

Pediatric sensorimotor cortical responsiveness to intracerebral stimulation during stereoelectroencephalographic monitoring: Age effects and area specificity

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to determine how age influences clinical responsiveness to intracerebral electrical stimulation (IES) in children across primary and secondary sensorimotor cortices and to assess age effects on response complexity and area‐specific responsiveness.

The genome of the rice planthopper egg parasitoid wasps Anagrus nilaparvatae casts light on the chemo- and mechanosensation in parasitism

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Mymaridae is an ancient insect group and is a basal lineage of the superfamily Chalcidoidea. Species of Mymaridae have great potential for biological control.
