Dementia is a devastating age-related disorder. Its therapy would largely benefit from the identification of susceptible subjects at early, prodromal stages of the disease. To search for such prognostic markers of cognitive impairment, we studied spatial

Reduced neurosteroid potentiation of GABAA receptors in epilepsy and depolarized hippocampal neurons [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Neurosteroids regulate neuronal excitability by potentiating γ-aminobutyric acid type-A receptors (GABARs). In animal models of temporal lobe epilepsy, the neurosteroid sensitivity of GABARs is diminished and GABAR subunit composition is ...

S‐nitrosation and neuronal plasticity [PDF]
Nitric oxide (NO) has long been recognized as a multifaceted participant in brain physiology. Despite the knowledge that was gathered over many years regarding the contribution of NO to neuronal plasticity, for example the ability of the brain to change in response to new stimuli, only in recent years have we begun to understand how NO acts on the ...

Ultrasound-(US) emitting sources are highly present in modern human environments (e.g., movement sensors, electric transformers). US affecting humans or even posing a health hazard remains understudied. Hence, ultrasonic (22.4 kHz) vs.

Neurological symptoms following cerebellar stroke can range from motor to cognitive-affective impairments. Topographic imaging studies from patients with lesions confined to the cerebellum have shown evidence linking anterior cerebellar lobules with ...

Temporal Map Formation in the Barn Owl’s Brain [PDF]
Barn owls provide an experimentally well-specified example of a temporal map, a neuronal representation of the outside world in the brain by means of time. Their laminar nucleus exhibits a place code of interaural time differences, a cue which is used to

Why do mice squeak? Toward a better understanding of defensive vocalization
Summary: Although mice mostly communicate in the ultrasonic range, they also emit audible calls. We demonstrate that mice selectively bred for high anxiety-related behavior (HAB) have a high disposition for emitting sonic calls when caught by the tail ...

Retrograde semaphorin-plexin signalling drives homeostatic synaptic plasticity. [PDF]
Homeostatic signalling systems ensure stable but flexible neural activity and animal behaviour. Presynaptic homeostatic plasticity is a conserved form of neuronal homeostatic signalling that is observed in organisms ranging from Drosophila to human ...
