Powering the social brain: Mitochondria in social behaviour
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Dogukan Hazar Ülgen, Silvie Rosalie Ruigrok
A central role of brain mitochondria in regulating and influencing social behaviour is emerging. In addition to its important roles as the "powerhouses" of the cell, mitochondria possess a plethora of cellular functions, such as regulating ion homeostasis, ...
2023Distinguishing dopamine and calcium responses using XNA-nanotube sensors for improved neurochemical sensing
Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Melania Reggente, Alice Judith Gillen, Alessandra Antonucci, Daniel Eduardo Morales Garza
To date, the engineering of single-stranded DNA-SWCNT (DNA-SWCNT) optical biosensors have largely focused on creating sensors for new applications with little focus on optimising existing sensors for in vitro and in vivo conditions. Recent studies have sho ...
2021Ageing and reinforcement learning
Michael Herzog, Wei-Hsiang Lin
Learning to achieve one’s goal in a complex environment is a complicated task. In reinforcement learning (RL) tasks, an agent interacts with the environment to learn optimal actions. In humans, striatal areas are strongly involved in these tasks. During ag ...
2021Sensing serotonin secreted from human serotonergic neurons using aptamer-modified nanopipettes
Nako Nakatsuka, Dmitry Momotenko
The serotonergic system in the human brain modulates several physiological processes, and altered serotonergic neurotransmission has been implicated in the neuropathology of several psychiatric disorders. The study of serotonergic neurotransmission in psyc ...
2021Emergence of Connectivity Motifs in Networks of Model Neurons with Short- and Long-Term Plastic Synapses
Michele Giugliano, Eleni Vasilaki
Recent experimental data from the rodent cerebral cortex and olfactory bulb indicate that specific connectivity motifs are correlated with short-term dynamics of excitatory synaptic transmission. It was observed that neurons with short-term facilitating sy ...
Public Library of Science2014Ammonia toxicity to the brain
Hyperammonemia can be caused by various acquired or inherited disorders such as urea cycle defects. The brain is much more susceptible to the deleterious effects of ammonium in childhood than in adulthood. Hyperammonemia provokes irreversible damage to the ...
Springer Verlag2013Microengineered analytical tools for cell-based studies in environmental monitoring, pharmacology and neuroscience
Monitoring cells’ Tehavior in-vitro and evaluation of their response to different types of stimulations are the major oTjectives in cell-Tased studies. The results of these studies answer questions on the physiology of the cells, cell-to-cell signaling and ...
