Neurohormonal Profiles of Assistance Dogs Compared to Pet Dogs: What Is the Impact of Different Lifestyles?

Animals, 2021
Assistance dogs must manage stress efficiently because they are involved in challenging tasks. Their welfare is currently a fundamental issue. This preliminary study aimed to compare assistance dogs (AD; n = 22) with pet dogs (PD; n = 24), using blood ...

CaMKII controls neuromodulation via neuropeptide gene expression and axonal targeting of neuropeptide vesicles.

PLoS Biology, 2020
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) regulates synaptic plasticity in multiple ways, supposedly including the secretion of neuromodulators like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).

Short-course antidepressant therapy reduces discontinuation syndrome while maintaining treatment efficacy in patients with refractory functional dyspepsia: A randomized controlled trial

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2022
Background and objectiveLong-course (LC) antidepressants for the treatment of disorders of gut-brain interaction, such as refractory functional dyspepsia (rFD), pose patients at risk of antidepressant discontinuation syndrome (ADS).

Serotonergic Modulation of Sensory Representation in a Central Multisensory Circuit Is Pathway Specific

Cell Reports, 2017
Many studies have explored how neuromodulators affect synaptic function, yet little is known about how they modify computations at the microcircuit level.

Activity of the C. elegans egg-laying behavior circuit is controlled by competing activation and feedback inhibition

eLife, 2016
Like many behaviors, Caenorhabditis elegans egg laying alternates between inactive and active states. To understand how the underlying neural circuit turns the behavior on and off, we optically recorded circuit activity in behaving animals while ...

A Two‐Terminal Optoelectronic Synapses Array Based on the ZnO/Al2O3/CdS Heterojunction with Strain‐Modulated Synaptic Weight

Advanced Electronic Materials, 2023
Artificial optoelectronic synapses with flexibly regulated synaptic weight are crucial to the rapidly evolved artificial visual system. Although three‐terminal devices with transistor geometry have exhibited controllable synaptic response through ...

The Post-mating Switch in the Pheromone Response of Nasonia Females Is Mediated by Dopamine and Can Be Reversed by Appetitive Learning

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
The olfactory sense is of crucial importance for animals, but their response to chemical stimuli is plastic and depends on their physiological state and prior experience.

VEGF Axonal Transport Dependent on Kinesin-1B and Microtubules Dynamics

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
Axon-transport plays an important role in neuronal activity and survival. Reduced endogenous VEGF can cause neuronal damage and axon degeneration. It is unknown at this time if VEGF can be transported within the axon or whether it can be released by ...

Astrocytes—The Ultimate Effectors of Long-Range Neuromodulatory Networks?

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
It was long thought that astrocytes, given their lack of electrical signaling, were not involved in communication with neurons. However, we now know that one astrocyte on average maintains and regulates the extracellular neurotransmitter and potassium ...

Dopaminergic neurons write and update memories with cell-type-specific rules

eLife, 2016
Associative learning is thought to involve parallel and distributed mechanisms of memory formation and storage. In Drosophila, the mushroom body (MB) is the major site of associative odor memory formation. Previously we described the anatomy of the adult
