A few months ago, the Brazilian Society for Neuroscience and Behavior (SBNeC) promoted
a" virtual symposium"(by Internet, under the coordination of RCA Guedes) on" Nutrition and …

Following pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus, rats become chronically epileptic showing
2–3 spontaneous recurrent seizures per week. The aim of this work was to verify the …

Lactating rat dams were submitted to short episodes (1, 2 or 3 weeks) of nutritional
restriction by receiving the" regional basic diet"(RBD, with 8% protein) of low-income human …

Various neurological and psychiatric diseases lead to alterations in cortical serotonergic
activity as one of their underlying processes. However, the electrophysiological implication …

Nutritional conditions early in life constitute one environmental factor that can influence brain
electrophysiological features. Cortical spreading depression (SD) is a brain …

Wistar rats (n= 58) were injected subcutaneously during the lactation period with fluoxetine
(5, 10, 20 or 40 mg/kg/day) and cortical spreading depression (SD) was recorded …

In mammals, l-glutamine (Gln) can alter the glutamate-Gln cycle and consequently brain
excitability. Here, we investigated in developing rats the effect of treatment with different …

It is known that the photoactivation of riboflavin produces superoxide radicals. We
investigated the ability of this process to elicit spreading depression (SD) in the cerebral …

Adult, well-nourished (W) and early-malnourished (M) male Wistar rats were injected
intraperitoneally for 7 days with 20 mg/kg CIT and cortical spreading depression (CSD) was …

Astrocytes can protect neurons against oxidative stress and excitability-dependent
disorders, such as epilepsy. Valeriana officinalis has been used as anticonvulsant and can …
