The inability of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) to undergo spontaneous
regeneration has long been regarded as a central tenet of neurobiology. However, while this …

Exposure to persistent organic pollutants during the perinatal period is of particular concern
because of the potential increased risk of neurological disorders in adulthood. Here we …

Estrogens induce several regulatory signals in the nervous system that are mainly mediated
through estrogen receptors (ERs). ERs are largely expressed in the nervous system, yet the …

The unfavorable prognosis of many neurological conditions could be attributed to limited
