Neuronal remodeling is a crucial step towards healthy maturation of synapses, circuits and eventually brain function. This process involves changes in neuron morphology s [...]

The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the role of neuronal synchrony and high‑frequency oscillations in perceptual processing within the auditory cortex of a [...]

Cardiorespiratory reflexes, which regulate breathing and blood pressure, differ markedly between newborns and adults, suggesting significant postnatal maturation of their [...]

Opioid use disorder is a chronic relapsing disease. Relapse is precipitated by cravings for the euphoric, rewarding effects of opioids as well as a desire to alleviate ph [...]

Endogenous cannabinoids, such as anandamide (AEA), have multiple important functions in the brain including modulation of the reward response and neuroplasticity. There a [...]

We recorded light-evoked lateral inhibitory postsynaptic currents (L-IPSCs) from ON-type mixed rod/cone bipolar cell terminals in goldfish retina to characterize their ti [...]

Spike‑timing‑dependent plasticity (STDP) describes activity‑dependent synaptic changes driven by the relative timing of pre‑ and postsynaptic spikes and is a fundamental [...]

Seizures are patterns of abnormal electrical activity in the brain that can result in altered sensory perception, loss of consciousness, and involuntary motor spasms. Epi [...]

We have previously reported that short-term treatment with the water extract of Centella asiatica (CAW) activates the endogenous antioxidant response pathway and ameliora [...]
