Here, we investigate differential RPTPγ-RPTPζ expression in three sources derived from a wild-type laboratory strain of C57BL/6 mice: (a) mixed neuron–astrocyte hippocampal (HC) cultures 14 days post ...

Female mammals typically carry two X chromosomes — one from each parent — and a new study suggests that the maternal X is ...

For all individual criteria C1 to C5, we computed the frequencies of the different possible grades (from 0 to 2). Results between left and right hippocampi were compared using χ 2 tests. Finally, we ...

A recent study published in the European Journal of Neuroscience sheds light on how childhood maltreatment may leave lasting ...

The latest addition to Lego’s Architecture line is a highly-detailed version of Italy’s iconic Trevi Fountain. Yes, the ...

Builders will also find hippocampi and Tritons in the water, as well as a small version of the Fontana degli Innamorati or ‘Lovers’ Fountain’. If you were hoping to emphasize the romance of ...

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

Long-term depression (LTD) encompasses a family of synaptic plasticity mechanisms that can be triggered by the synaptic or pharmacological activation of glutamate receptors — in particular ...

Consider the example of London taxi drivers whose hippocampi physically grew as they memorized the city’s streets. Similarly, musicians develop enhanced motor and auditory regions of the brain ...

It may be, for example, that taxi and ambulance driving attract people who have naturally different hippocampi or have lower baseline risk of Alzheimer’s disease to begin with. After all ...
