The 14-3-3 family of proteins is implicated in the regulation of a broad range of key neuronal processes. Previous human and animal studies have provided evidence for an association between 14-3-3 proteins and schizophrenia. Here, I...
Conditioned taste aversion (CTA) is a unique form of classical conditioning whereby an animal learns to associate a novel taste stimulus with negative visceral effects. Acquisition of CTA results in reduced intake of future presentations...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) currently underlies dementia for tens of millions of people worldwide, and its occurrence is set to double in the next 20 years. The currently approved drugs for treating AD only marginally ameliorate cognitive...
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are glutamate-gated ion channels that play key roles in excitatory synaptic transmission and are involved in numerous neurological disorders as well. The number of neuronal surface NMDARs are not...
Neurogenesis in the adult brain has become an exciting research area in the past three decades. With the advent of new scientific methods and techniques, researchers have been able to identify and characterize new cells proliferating...
The key to species survival depends on the ability to reproduce. In mammals ovulation requires a precisely timed luteinizing hormone (LH)-surge on the afternoon of proestrus. It is thought that this LH-surge requires the convergence of...
The ability to use language effectively is a function we rely on every day. Unfortunately for many individuals, language ability can be impaired following damage to the language centers of the brain. Aphasia is the term that applies to...
Although zinc has been implicated in the functionality of the hippocampus since the 1970's, the recent discovery of adult neuronal stem cells in this region of the brain provides the potential for novel zinc-regulated hippocampal...
