About a snail, a toad and rodents: animal models for adaptation research
Neural adaptation mechanisms have many similarities throughout the animal kingdom, enabling to study fundamentals of human adaptation in selected animal models with experimental approaches that are impossible to apply in man.

Histoarchitecture, seasonal variation and reproductive function of the neuroendocrine organ, brain of freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium gangeticum [PDF]
Histoarchitecture, seasonal variation and reproductive function of the neuroendocrine structure, brain of freshwater prawn Macrobrachium gangeticum were studied. Three types of NSCs - 'B', 'C' and 'D' were found to be concentrated in four groups in brain.

The hypothalamic–pituitary axis is central to regulating physiological homeostasis at the organismal level. The expanding line of evidence shows the indispensable role of microRNAs in regulating the gene expression in the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and the individual cell types within these neuroanatomical structures.

Research progress of the netrins and their receptors in cancer
Abstract Netrins, a family of secreted and membrane‐associated proteins, can regulate axonal guidance, morphogenesis, angiogenesis, cell migration, cell survival, and tumorigenesis. Four secreted netrins (netrin 1, 3, 4 and 5) and two glycosylphosphatidylinositols‐anchored membrane proteins, netrin‐G1 and G2, have been identified in mammals.

Effect of photosensitizers photosens, photodithazine and hypericin on glioma cells and primary neuronal cultures : a comparative analysis [PDF]
The aim of the study was to compare the effect of photosensitizers photosens, photodithazine, and hypericin on primary brain cell cultures, and assess their toxic effect on tumor and normal nervous cells in order to choose the optimal photodynamic agent ...

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in oxygen sensing and control of reflex hyperventilation, but its role in respiratory control in aquatic vertebrates has been elusive. We present evidence for the synthesis and uptake of dopamine by postsynaptic sensory nerves, and the oxygen‐dependent expression of D2‐type dopamine receptors in respiratory ...

Neurological endocrinology: the coordinating mechanism [PDF]
The nervous and endocrine systems are integrative in nature for they provide th'e organism with sophisticated external and internal sensing devices which feed information into the central nervous system for appropriate responses of the target ...

Differential expression of synaptophysin and synaptoporin during pre- and postnatal development of the hippocampal network [PDF]
The closely related synaptic vesicle membrane proteins synaptophysin and synaptoporin are abundant in the hippocampal formation of the adult rat. But the prenatal hippocampal formation contains only synaptophysin, which is first detected at embryonic day

The phytochemical composition of Melia volkensii and its potential for insect pest management [PDF]
Due to potential health and environmental risks of synthetic pesticides, coupled with their non-selectivity and pest resistance, there has been increasing demand for safer and biodegradable alternatives for insect pest management.

In studies exploring the potential for nanosecond duration electric pulses to serve as a novel modality for neuromodulation, we found that a 5 ns pulse triggers an immediate rise in [Ca2+]i in isolated bovine adrenal chromaffin cells.
