In addition to genetic information, environmental factors play an important role in the
structure and function of nervous system and the occurrence and development of some …

The decline of brain function during aging is associated with epigenetic changes, including
DNA methylation. Lifestyle interventions can improve brain function during aging, but their …

Manganese‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) holds exceptional promise
for preclinical studies of brain‐wide physiology in awake‐behaving animals. The objectives …

Environmental enrichment induces widespread neuronal changes, but the initiation of the
cascade is unknown. We ascertained the critical period of divergence between …

Aim Astrocytes are connected by gap junctions Connexin43 (GJs‐Cx43) forming an
extensive intercellular network and maintain brain homeostasis. Perioperative …

Background Microglia activation and oligodendrocyte maturation are critical for
remyelination after cerebral ischemia. Studies have shown that enriched environment (EE) …

Rodents, particularly mice and rats, are extensively utilized in fundamental neuroscience
research. Brain atlases have played a pivotal role in this field, evolving from traditional …

Anxiety and depression are the most common mental health disorders worldwide, each
affecting around 30% stroke survivors. These complications not only affect the functional …

Dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) play a crucial role in the
processing of reward-related information. Recent studies with pharmacological …

The cortical distribution and functional role of cholecystokinin (CCK) are largely unknown.
Here, a CCK receptor antagonist challenge paradigm was developed to assess functional …
