Notch signaling is central to vertebrate development, and analysis of Notch has provided important insights into pathogenetic mechanisms in the CNS and many other tissues. However, surprisingly little is known about the role of Notch in the development and ...
The serotonin type 3 receptor (5HT3R) is a homopentameric, cation selective channel that mediates fast excitatory transmission in the nervous system. It is a member of the Cys-loop family of receptors that include the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nACh ...
BACKGROUND: Gene transfer to nociceptive neurons of the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) is a promising approach to dissect mechanisms of pain in rodents and is a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of persistent pain disorders such as neuropathic pa ...
The large-scale structure of complex systems is intimately related to their functionality and evolution. In particular, global transport processes in flow networks rely on the presence of directed pathways from input to output nodes and edges, which organi ...
Definition of single spikes from multiunit spike trains plays a critical role in neurophysiology and in neuroengineering. Moreover, long period analysis are needed to study synaptic plasticity effects and observe the long and medium term development on whi ...
Nitroxyl (HNO) donor compounds function as potent vasorelaxants, improve myocardial contractility and reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury in the cardiovascular system. With respect to the nervous system, HNO donors have been shown to attenuate NMDA receptor ...
Reach-to-grasp tasks are composed of several actions that are more and more considered as simultaneously controlled by the central nervous system in a feedforward manner (at least for well-known activities). If this hypothesis is correct, during prehension ...
Stress is known to be a potent modulator of brain function and cognition. While prolonged and/or excessive stress generally exerts negative effects on learning and memory processes, acute stress can have differential effects on memory function depending on ...
Remifentanil, like the other sedative drugs used to achieve conscious sedation, has an impact on the efficiency of patient ventilation. Since the quality of breathing has an indirect effect on blood O2 and CO2 concentrations, keeping patients' blood homeos ...
Although straight point to point movements have been successfully modeled until now, many reaching movements are not straight neither in hand Cartesian nor in joint angles space, such as for example movements directed towards oneself. Addressing the genera ...
