In this review, we have summarized various aspects as to how prenatal protein malnutrition
affects development of the brain and have attempted to integrate several broad principles …

The data on theta-modulation of neuronal activity in the hippocampus and related structures,
obtained by the author and her colleagues have been reviewed. Analysis of extracellularly …

Stress blocks hippocampal primed-burst potentiation, a low threshold form of long-term
potentiation, thereby suggesting that stress should also impair hippocampal-dependent …

Emerging data indicate that growth hormone (GH) therapy could have a role in improving
cognitive function. GH replacement therapy in experimental animals and human patients …

The degradation of αII-and βII-spectrin during apoptosis in cultured human neuroblastoma
