Aberrant location of inhibitory synaptic marker proteins in the hippocampus of dystrophin-deficient mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disease that arises from mutations in the dystrophin-encoding gene. Apart from muscle pathology, cognitive impairment, primarily of developmental origin, is also a significant component of the disorder.

Characterization of auditory synaptic inputs to gerbil perirhinal cortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2015
The representation of acoustic cues involves regions downstream from the auditory cortex (ACx). One such area, the perirhinal cortex (PRh), processes sensory signals containing mnemonic information.

Synaptic algebras

open access: yesMathematica Slovaca, 2010
Abstract A synaptic algebra is both a special Jordan algebra and a spectral order-unit normed space satisfying certain natural conditions suggested by the partially ordered Jordan algebra of bounded Hermitian operators on a Hilbert space. The adjective “synaptic”, borrowed from biology, is meant to suggest that such an algebra coherently

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...

Feedforward inhibition and synaptic scaling - two sides of the same coin?

open access: yes, 2012
Feedforward inhibition and synaptic scaling are important adaptive processes that control the total input a neuron can receive from its afferents. While often studied in isolation, the two have been reported to co-occur in various brain regions.

Reduction in the activity of VTA/SNc dopaminergic neurons underlies aging-related decline in novelty seeking

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
Curiosity, or novelty seeking, is a fundamental mechanism motivating animals to explore and exploit environments to improve survival, and is also positively associated with cognitive, intrapersonal and interpersonal well-being in humans.

The synaptic challenge

open access: yesAdvances in Physiology Education, 2014
PHYSIOLOGY has long been recognized as a subject that is difficult for students to master. Medical students, in particular, often fail to appreciate the relevance of learning and understanding normal body functions for their clinical studies (11). Over the past two decades, there has been increasing recognition in the physiology education literature of

Guiding AlphaFold to predict how Munc13‐1 opens Syntaxin‐1

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The syntaxin‐1 Habc‐domain (orange), linker (pink) and SNARE motif (yellow) form a closed conformation that binds to Munc18‐1 (violet) and is opened by the Munc13‐1 MUN domain (cyan) to form the SNARE complex that triggers neurotransmitter release.

Synaptic state matching: a dynamical architecture for predictive internal representation and feature perception

open access: yes, 2011
Here we consider the possibility that a fundamental function of sensory cortex is the generation of an internal simulation of sensory environment in real-time.

Super‐Refractory Status Epilepticus (SRSE) in a Patient With Compound Heterozygous OPA1 Variants: Case Report and Literature Review

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Super‐Refractory Status Epilepticus (SRSE) is a rare, life‐threatening neurological emergency with unclear etiology in many cases. Mitochondrial dysfunction, often due to disease‐causing genetic variants, is increasingly recognized as a cause, with each gene producing distinct pathophysiological mechanisms.
