Cathepsins in neuronal plasticity.
Proteases comprise a variety of enzymes defined by their ability to catalytically hydrolyze the peptide bonds of other proteins, resulting in protein lysis. Cathepsins, specifically, encompass a class of at least twenty proteases with potent endopeptidase activity.

The Histone Modifications of Neuronal Plasticity. [PDF]
Nucleosomes composed of histone octamer and DNA are the basic structural unit in the eukaryote chromosome. Under the stimulation of various factors, histones will undergo posttranslational modifications such as methylation, phosphorylation, acetylation, and ubiquitination, which change the three-dimensional structure of chromosomes and affect gene ...

Neuronal Plasticity in the Entorhinal Cortex
The entorhinal cortex (EC) is a unique and fascinating structure, constituting a highly parallel interface between phylogenetically old cortex (hippocampus) and higher neocortical areas. The literature related to the EC has increased dramatically in the past 30 years. A simple PubMed search for EC lists around 20–40 articles per year in the early 1980s.

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 ...

Exploratory drive, fear, and anxiety are dissociable and independent components in foraging mice
Anxiety-like behavior of rodents is frequently accompanied by reduced exploration. Here, we identify dissociable components of anxiety, fear, and exploratory drive of sated and foraging mice.

Autophagy in Neuronal Development and Plasticity [PDF]
Autophagy is a highly conserved intracellular clearance pathway in which cytoplasmic contents are trafficked to the lysosome for degradation. Within neurons, it helps to remove damaged organelles and misfolded or aggregated proteins and has therefore been the subject of intense research in relation to neurodegenerative disease.

Despite the numerous research studies on traumatic brain injury (TBI), many physiopathologic mechanisms remain unknown. TBI is a complex process, in which neuroinflammation and glial cells play an important role in exerting a functional immune and damage-

Lobe X of the Cerebellum: A Natural Neuro-Resistant Region
The cerebellum is an encephalic region classically known for its central role in the control of movement, although recent research has revealed its involvement in other cognitive and affective tasks. Several different pathologies are known to affect this
