Dissecting the role of defined neuronal populations in fear learning [PDF]

, 2014
The astonishing plasticity of the brain and its ability for continuous learning and memory formation are among its most essential functions, since constant adaptation to the environment is critical for an animal’s survival.

A longitudinal, randomized experimental pilot study to investigate the effects of airborne infrasound on human mental health, cognition, and brain structure

Scientific Reports, 2021
Airborne infrasound (IS; emitted by e.g., large machinery, wind farms) is ubiquitous in technologized environments. Health hazards are controversially discussed at present.

Why do mice squeak? Toward a better understanding of defensive vocalization

iScience, 2022
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 ...

miR-132/212 knockout mice reveal roles for these miRNAs in regulating cortical synaptic transmission and plasticity [PDF]

, 2013
miR-132 and miR-212 are two closely related miRNAs encoded in the same intron of a small non-coding gene, which have been suggested to play roles in both immune and neuronal function.

Structural plasticity of synaptic connectivity in the adult hippocampal mossy fiber projection [PDF]

, 2013
The brain has the lifelong ability to change itself based on new experiences such as learning and memory. This so called neuronal plasticity is reflected in the brain by structural and functional modifications which underlie our ability to learn ...

THE FUNDAMENTS OF NEURONAL PLASTICITY

Annals of the Russian academy of medical sciences, 2012
 Plasticity of the nervous system  is determined by the modification of efficacy of synaptic transmission: long- term potentiation and long- term depression. Different modern technical approaches such as: registration of ionic currents in single neuron, molecular- genetic analysis, neurovisualization, and others reveal the molecular mechanisms of ...

Network self-organization explains the statistics and dynamics of synaptic connection strengths in cortex [PDF]

, 2013
The information processing abilities of neural circuits arise from their synaptic connection patterns. Understanding the laws governing these connectivity patterns is essential for understanding brain function.

Impairment of DHA synthesis alters the expression of neuronal plasticity markers and the brain inflammatory status in mice [PDF]

, 2020
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a ω-3 fatty acid typically obtained from the diet or endogenously synthesized through the action of elongases (ELOVLs) and desaturases.

Unique potential of immature adult-born neurons for the remodeling of CA3 spatial maps

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Mammalian hippocampal circuits undergo extensive remodeling through adult neurogenesis. While this process has been widely studied, the specific contribution of adult-born granule cells (aGCs) to spatial operations in the hippocampus remains ...

Diverse processing of pharmacological and natural rewards by the central amygdala

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: The central amygdala (CeA) with its medial (CeM) and lateral (CeL) nuclei is the brain hub for processing stimuli with emotional context. CeL nucleus gives a strong inhibitory input to the CeM, and this local circuitry assigns values (positive ...
