Concentrations of glutamate and N-acetylaspartate detected by magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the rat hippocampus correlate with hippocampal-dependent spatial memory performance

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been employed to investigate brain metabolite concentrations in vivo, and they vary during neuronal activation, across brain activity states, or upon disease with neurological impact.

The Sexual Dimorphism of the Neuroimmune Response in the Brains of Taenia crassiceps-Infected Mice

Brain Sciences
Background: Helminth infections are associated with cognitive deficits, especially in school-age children. Deworming treatment in heavily infected children improves their short- and long-term memory recall.

Deep Brain Stimulation Mechanisms in Parkinson's Disease: Immediate and Long-Term Effects

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a common therapy for managing Parkinson’s disease (PD) in clinical practice. However, a complete understanding of its mode of action is still needed.

Enhancing the sensitivity of gamma-aminobutyric acid and glutamate biosensors by electrochemically roughening platinum microelectrodes

Frontiers in Neuroscience
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate (GLU) are two key neurotransmitters (NTs) in processing, plasticity, memory, and network functions. High-sensitivity GABA and GLU biosensors are crucial for investigating the dysregulation of the GABA-GLU ...

Introducing Thermal Wave Transport Analysis (TWTA): A Thermal Technique for Dopamine Detection by Screen-Printed Electrodes Functionalized with Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP) Particles

Molecules, 2016
A novel procedure is developed for producing bulk modified Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP) screen-printed electrodes (SPEs), which involves the direct mixing of the polymer particles within the screen-printed ink. This allowed reduction of the sample

Neuroinflammatory Mechanisms of Adult Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy: Implications for Blood–Brain Barrier Disruption and Oxidative Stress

Diagnostics
Sepsis is a syndrome of life-threatening acute organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) refers to the diffuse brain dysfunction observed in sepsis cases, clinically characterized by a ...
