We studied the effects of chloramphenicol on brain glucose utilization and sleep-wake cycles in rat. After slightly anaesthetized animals were injected with [18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose, we acquired time-concentration curves from three radiosensitive beta ...
The fundamental revelations to the founders of the three monotheistic religions, among many other revelation experiences, had occurred on a mountain. These three revelation experiences share many phenomenological components like feeling and hearing a prese ...
The notion that long-term synaptic plasticity is generated by activity-induced molecular modifications is widely accepted. It is well established that neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is one of the prominent modulators of synaptic plasticity. NCAM can ...
The amygdala is a brain area which plays a decisive role in fear and anxiety. Since exposure to chronic stress can induce profound effects in emotion and cognition, plasticity in specific amygdaloid nuclei in response to prior stress has been hypothesized ...
The cognitive deficits observed in children with cyanotic congenital heart disease suggest involvement of the developing hippocampus. Chronic postnatal hypoxia present during infancy in these children may play a role in these impairments. To understand the ...
Le projet a pour but la requalification du site exceptionnel des Vernets situé sur la rive de l'Arve. Actuellement, il accueille la caserne militaire. L'hypothèse d'un déménagement de cette institution ainsi que la démolition de ses installations est reten ...
L1 is a cell adhesion molecule implicated in the formation of neural circuits and synaptic plasticity. We have examined the sequence and time-frame in which modifications in the synaptic expression of L1 occur in the piriform cortex and hippocampus in the ...
Functional brain exploration methodologies such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are critical tools to study perceptual and cognitive processes. In order to develop complex and well-controlled fMRI paradigms, researchers are interested in us ...
The measurement of brain activity in a noninvasive way is an essential element in modern neurosciences. Modalities such as electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) recently gained interest, but two classical techniques remain predomina ...

BACKGROUND: There is an extensive literature describing how stress disturbs cognitive processing and can exacerbate psychiatric disorders. There is, however, an insufficient understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in stress effects on brain and ...
