Drugs of abuse cause persistent alterations in synaptic plasticity that may underlie addiction
behaviors. Evidence suggests glial cells have an essential and underappreciated role in the …

One of the most severe consequences of maternal ethanol consumption is the damage to
the developing central nervous system, which is manifested by long‐term cognitive and …

By immunoelectron microscopy with a polyclonal antibody against the cytosolic glycolytic
enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) from Candida albicans (anti …

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can produce a variety of central nervous system
(CNS) abnormalities in the offspring resulting in a broad spectrum of cognitive and …

Glial cells constitute one of the most common cell types in the brain. They play critical roles
in central nervous system (CNS) development. Recent evidence demonstrates that glial …

Postmortem studies reveal structural and molecular alterations of astrocytes and
oligodendrocytes in both the gray and white matter (GM and WM) of the prefrontal cortex …

Abstract Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation and signalling in glial cells play critical roles in
neurological disorders and in alcohol‐induced brain damage. TLR4 endocytosis upon …

We showed previously that alcohol exposure during in vivo brain development induced
astroglial damage and caused cell death. Because ceramide modulates a number of …

Neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAMs) play critical roles during development of the
nervous system. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible effect of ethanol …

We have previously shown that glial cells are a target of ethanol toxicity during brain
ontogeny, since ethanol affects glial development and impairs the release of neurotrophic …
