Background Early-life stress (ES) is an emerging risk factor for later life development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We have previously shown that ES modulates amyloid-beta pathology and the microglial response to it in the APPswe/PS1dE9 mouse model ...

Whole-brain tracking of cocaine and sugar rewards processing
Natural rewards, such as food, and sex are appetitive stimuli available for animals in their natural environment. Similarly, addictive rewards such as drugs of abuse possess strong, positive valence, but their action relies on their pharmacological ...

GluK2 Q/R editing regulates kainate receptor signaling and long-term potentiation of AMPA receptors
Summary: Q/R editing of the kainate receptor (KAR) subunit GluK2 radically alters recombinant KAR properties, but the effects on endogenous KARs in vivo remain largely unexplored.

Effects of Synaptic and Myelin Plasticity on Learning in a Network of Kuramoto Phase Oscillators [PDF]
Models of learning typically focus on synaptic plasticity. However, learning is the result of both synaptic and myelin plasticity. Specifically, synaptic changes often co-occur and interact with myelin changes, leading to complex dynamic interactions ...

Direct and indirect selection on flowering time, water-use efficiency (WUE, δ (13)C), and WUE plasticity to drought in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
Flowering time and water-use efficiency (WUE) are two ecological traits that are important for plant drought response. To understand the evolutionary significance of natural genetic variation in flowering time, WUE, and WUE plasticity to drought in ...

Cannabinoid-induced actomyosin contractility shapes neuronal morphology and growth
Endocannabinoids are recently recognized regulators of brain development, but molecular effectors downstream of type-1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1R)-activation remain incompletely understood.

Gravin orchestrates protein kinase A and 2-adrenergic receptor signaling critical for synaptic plasticity and memory [PDF]
A kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs) organize compartmentalized pools of protein kinase A (PKA) to enable localized signaling events within neurons. However, it is unclear which of the many expressed AKAPs in neurons target PKA to signaling complexes ...

Uncoupled material model of ductile fracture with directional plasticity [PDF]
Proposed paper deals with the application of plastic response with directional distortional hardening (DDH) in uncoupled ductile fracture model and comparison of the results with the same ductile fracture model based on isotropic J2 plasticity.
