Activation of the proto-oncogene c-fos in the brain was described initially almost a decade
ago and represents one of the most studied immediate early genes in the brain. Transient c …

Fluctuations in the neuronal calcium concentration,[Ca2÷], act as signals which are
enormously important for a variety of reasons. Ca 2+ acts as the major trigger for …

The recent escalation of cocaine abuse has increased awareness of the need to understand
the behavioral effects of cocaine and the determinants of those effects. Cocaine alters both …

Reln mRNA and protein levels are reduced by∼ 50% in various cortical structures of post-
mortem brain from patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar illness with psychosis …

The expression of immediate–early genes that code for transcription factors has been
extensively studied in the brain with regard to imaging functional activity. The components of …

The N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of glutamate receptors in the mammalian brain
plays a central role in synaptic plasticity underlying refinement of neuronal connections …

The nervous system becomes increasingly vulnerable to insults and prone to dysfunction
during aging. Age-related decline of neuronal function is manifested by the late onset of …

Oxaliplatin (OHP)-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (OIPN) is a frequent adverse event of
colorectal cancer treatment. OIPN encompasses a chronic and an acute syndrome. The …
