Implantable biosensors are valuable scientific tools for basic neuroscience research and
clinical applications. Neurotechnologies provide direct readouts of neurological signal and …

Upon receipt in the dorsal horn (DH) of the spinal cord, nociceptive (pain-signalling)
information from the viscera, skin and other organs is subject to extensive processing by a …

In recent years, neonicotinoid insecticides have been the fastest growing class of
insecticides in modern crop protection, with widespread use against a broad spectrum of …

For decades, astrocytes have been considered to be non-excitable support cells of the brain.
However, this view has changed radically during the past twenty years. The recent …

In recent years, neonicotinoids have been the fastest‐growing class of insecticides in
modern crop protection, with widespread use against a broad spectrum of sucking and …

Imidacloprid is increasingly used worldwide as an insecticide. It is an agonist at nicotinic
acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and shows selective toxicity for insects over vertebrates …

Subtypes of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are constructed from
numerous subunit combinations that compose channel-receptor complexes with varied …

During an investigation of the mechanisms through which the local environment controls the
fate specification of adult neural stem cells, we discovered that adult astrocytes from …

Pentameric ligand gated ion-channels, or Cys-loop receptors, mediate rapid chemical
transmission of signals. This superfamily of allosteric transmembrane proteins includes the …

Two-way communication between neurons and nonneural cells called glia is essential for
axonal conduction, synaptic transmission, and information processing and thus is required …
