Neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus has been implicated in cognitive functions, including learning and memory, and may be abnormal in major neuropsychiatric disorders, such as depression.
Scale development and validation are critical to much of the work in the health, social, and behavioral sciences. However, the constellation of techniques re...
Target-derived factors modulate many aspects of peripheral neuron development including neuronal growth, survival, and maturation. Less is known about how initial target contact regulates changes in gene expression associated with these
La Crosse virus (LACV), a zoonotic Bunyavirus, is a major cause of pediatric viral encephalitis in the United States. A hallmark of neurological diseases caused by LACV and other encephalitic viruses is the induction of neuronal cell death…
Curcumin has been demonstrated to have many neuroprotective properties, including improvement of cognition in humans and neurogenesis in animals, yet the mechanism of such effects remains unclear.
Central norepinephrine producing neurons comprise a diverse population of cells differing in anatomical location, connectivity, function and response to disease and environmental insult.
The microenvironment surrounding sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia responds differently to peripheral and central injuries, revealing that non-neuronal cells can be manipulated to promote axon regeneration after central injury.
Premature termination codon (PTC) mutations in the ATP-Binding Cassette, Sub-Family A, Member 7 gene (ABCA7) have recently been identified as intermediate-
