New research published in Journal of Neurochemistry finds that cannabidiol (CBD) may protect against neuronal death in epilepsy by inhibiting neurotoxic reactive astrocytes, a subtype of astrocytes ...

Ferroptosis is a novel form of cell death that uniquely requires iron and is characterized by iron accumulation, the generation of free radicals leading to oxidative stress, and the formation of lipid ...

Figure 1: Neuroprotection by bFGF is associated with increased expression of activin βA mRNA. Recently, a different type of interaction between bFGF and the TGF-β superfamily was reported from ...

This study developed a VENG detection algorithm that effectively detects seizures by emphasizing the loss of spontaneous rhythmicity associated with respiration in acute intrahippocampal Kainic Acid ...

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a potent modulator of brain synaptic plasticity. Signaling defects caused by dysregulation of its Ntrk2 (TrkB) kinase (TrkB.FL) and truncated receptors ...

Conflicting evidence exists regarding the role of infralimbic cortex (IL) in the environmental control of appetitive behavior. Inhibition of IL, irrespective of its intrinsic neural activity, ...
