Brain Structure and Function: Insights from Chemical Neuroanatomy
Life, 2023 We present a brief historical and epistemological outline of investigations on the brain’s structure and functions. These investigations have mainly been based on the intermingling of chemical anatomy, new techniques in the field of microscopy and ...

Tuning synaptic transmission in the hippocampus by stress: The CRH system
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2012 To enhance survival, an organism needs to remember--and learn from--threatening or stressful events. This fact necessitates the presence of mechanisms by which stress can influence synaptic transmission in brain regions, such as hippocampus, that ...

Nitric Oxide Signaling in the Auditory Pathway
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021 Nitric oxide (NO) is of fundamental importance in regulating immune, cardiovascular, reproductive, neuromuscular, and nervous system function. It is rapidly synthesized and cannot be confined, it is highly reactive, so its lifetime is measured in seconds.

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013 Peptidergic neurons are not easily integrated into current connectomics concepts, since their peptide messages can be distributed via non-synaptic paracrine signalling or volume transmission.

Volume Transmission in the Brain: Beyond the Synapse [PDF]
The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 2014 A better understanding of volume transmission is important in neuropsychiatry, as this is now believed to be a major mode of action for many neuroactive substances, including the modulatory neurotransmitters and many psychiatric medications.

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2018 This review article deals with the mechanisms of extrasynaptic release of transmitter substances, namely the release from the soma, axon and dendrites in the absence of postsynaptic counterparts.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 This work aims at presenting some hypotheses about the potential neurobiological substrate of imagery and imagination. For the present purposes, we will define imagery as the production of mental images associated with previous percepts, and imagination ...

Volume Transmission–Mediated Encephalopathies [PDF]
Archives of Neurology, 2012 There is strong evidence that the composition of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) influences brain development, neurogenesis, and behavior. The bidirectional exchange of CSF and interstitial fluid (ISF) across the ependymal and pia-glial membranes is required for these phenomena to occur.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012 We review the evidence of exocytosis from extrasynaptic sites in the soma, dendrites and axonal varicosities of central and peripheral neurons of vertebrates and invertebrates, and how it may contribute to signaling in the nervous system.

Selective WGA uptake in the hippocampus from the locus coeruleus of DBH-WGA transgenic mice
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2012 We generated transgenic mice in which a transsynaptic tracer, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), was specifically expressed in the locus coeruleus neurons under the control of the dopamine-β-hydroxylase gene promoter. WGA protein was produced in more than 95%
