Dendrites have always fascinated researchers: from the artistic drawings by Ramon y Cajal
to the beautiful recordings of today, neuroscientists have been striving to unravel the …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a set of neurodevelopmental disorders with a high
prevalence and impact on society. ASDs are characterized by deficits in both social behavior …

Tumor innervation is a common phenomenon with unknown mechanism. Here, we
discovered a direct mechanism of tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) for promoting de …

CREB and its close relatives are now widely accepted as prototypical stimulus-inducible
transcription factors. In many cell types, these factors function as effector molecules that …

Type-specific dendrite morphology is a hallmark of the neuron and has important functional
implications in determining what signals a neuron receives and how these signals are …

Activity-dependent plasticity of vertebrate neurons allows the brain to respond to its
environment. During brain development, both spontaneous and sensory-driven neural …

Sensory experience and the resulting synaptic activity within the brain are critical for the
proper development of neural circuits. Experience-driven synaptic activity causes membrane …

One of the unique characteristics of higher organisms is their ability to learn and adapt to
changes in their environment. This plasticity is largely a result of the brain's ability to convert …

The construction of the brain during embryonic development was thought to be largely
independent of its electrical activity. In this view, proliferation, migration and differentiation of …

Estrogen is an important hormone signal that regulates multiple tissues and functions in the
body. This review focuses on the neurotrophic and neuroprotective actions of estrogen in the …
