The evolution and comparative neurobiology of endocannabinoid signalling [PDF]
, 2012 CB(1)- and CB(2)-type cannabinoid receptors mediate effects of the endocannabinoids 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide in mammals. In canonical endocannabinoid-mediated synaptic plasticity, 2-AG is generated postsynaptically by diacylglycerol ...

Within-family plasticity of nervous system architecture in Syllidae (Annelida, Errantia)
Frontiers in Zoology, 2020 Background The ground pattern underlying the nervous system of the last common ancestor in annelids was long thought to be settled, consisting of a dorsal brain, circumoesophageal connectives and a subepithelial, ladder-like ventral nerve cord with ...

Slit-Robo expression in the leech nervous system: insights into eyespot evolution
Cell & Bioscience, 2023 Background Slit and Robo are evolutionarily conserved ligand and receptor proteins, respectively, but the number of slit and robo gene paralogs varies across recent bilaterian genomes.

The development of early pioneer neurons in the annelid Malacoceros fuliginosus
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background Nervous system development is an interplay of many processes: the formation of individual neurons, which depends on whole-body and local patterning processes, and the coordinated growth of neurites and synapse formation.

The Evolution of Senses: My Research Journey into the Nervous System of Cnidaria [PDF]
, 2017 Our understanding of the evolutionary history of animals is improving, but knowledge of the ancient sensory systems that early animals used to interact with their environments is still largely unknown.

Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Endocrine Tumor Syndromes: A Systematic Review
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction The combination of disease manifestations, the familial burden, and varying penetrance of endocrine tumor syndromes (ETSs) is unique. This review aimed to portray and summarize available data on psychosocial outcomes in patients with ETSs and explore gaps and opportunities for future research and care.

Complex Homology and the Evolution of Nervous Systems [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2016 We examine the complex evolution of animal nervous systems and discuss the ramifications of this complexity for inferring the nature of early animals. Although reconstructing the origins of nervous systems remains a central challenge in biology, and the phenotypic complexity of early animals remains controversial, a compelling picture is emerging.

Evolution of astrocytes: From invertebrates to vertebrates
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The central nervous system (CNS) shows incredible diversity across evolution at the anatomical, cellular, molecular, and functional levels. Over the past decades, neuronal cell number and heterogeneity, together with differences in the number and types ...

A Minimal Developmental Model Can Increase Evolvability in Soft Robots
, 2017 Different subsystems of organisms adapt over many time scales, such as rapid changes in the nervous system (learning), slower morphological and neurological change over the lifetime of the organism (postnatal development), and change over many ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction We developed MedSupport, a multilevel medication adherence intervention designed to address root barriers to medication adherence. This study sought to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the MedSupport intervention strategies to support a future full‐scale randomized controlled trial.
