Psychoanalysis and neurosciences: fuzzy outlines? Notes on the notion of cerebral plasticity [PDF]
“Psychoanalysis versus psychiatry” and “unconscious versus brain” are classic oppositions between different perspectives on the human being and mental suffering.

Radiation therapy induces cancer cell death and immune cell infiltration, mainly monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Elevated serum cytokine levels and disruption of the blood–brain barrier promote leptomeningeal dissemination. Cotreatment with dexamethasone reduces cytokine levels, preserves barrier integrity, and limits metastatic spread ...

Synaptic plasticity and cognitive function are disrupted in the absence of Lrp4. [PDF]
Lrp4, the muscle receptor for neuronal Agrin, is expressed in the hippocampus and areas involved in cognition. The function of Lrp4 in the brain, however, is unknown, as Lrp4-/- mice fail to form neuromuscular synapses and die at birth.

Adaptaquin selectively kills glioma stem cells while sparing differentiated brain cells. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses show Adaptaquin disrupts iron and cholesterol homeostasis, with iron chelation amplifying cytotoxicity via cholesterol depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and elevated reactive oxygen species.

Chronic Stress Triggers Expression of Immediate Early Genes and Differentially Affects the Expression of AMPA and NMDA Subunits in Dorsal and Ventral Hippocampus of Rats [PDF]
Indexación: Web of Science; Scopus.Previous studies in rats have demonstrated that chronic restraint stress triggers anhedonia, depressive-like behaviors, anxiety and a reduction in dendritic spine density in hippocampal neurons.

Molecular signaling from microglia impacts macroglia autophagy and neurons survival in glaucoma
Summary: Interactions between microglia and macroglia play important roles in the neurodegeneration of the central nervous system and so is the situation between microglia and Müller cells in retina neurodegenerations like glaucoma. This study focuses on

Long Term Potentiation (LTP) and Long Term Depression (LTD) Cause Differential Spatial Redistribution of the Synaptic Vesicle Protein Synaptophysin in the Middle Molecular Layer of the Dentate Gyrus in Rat Hippocampus [PDF]
The presynaptic modifications that accompany long-term changes in synaptic plasticity are still not fully understood. Synaptophysin is a major synaptic vesicle protein involved in neurotransmitter release. We have used quantitative electron microscopy to

Under environmental changes, the expression level of neuropeptide (NP) and neuropeptide receptor (NPR) genes changes to confer context‐dependent adaptation to the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. Through finding more regulatory elements in the NPR genes in comparison with their ligands (NPs), we found that NPR‐biased transcriptional regulation ...

Summary: Light sensitivity of the vertebrate retina relies on the integrity of photoreceptors, including rods and cones. Research in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and in AD transgenic mice reports that accumulated amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques in the ...
