Synaptic plasticity confers environmental adaptability through modification of the
connectivity between neurons and neuronal circuits. This is achieved through changes to …

Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a member of the neurotrophin family of structurally
related proteins that promote neuronal differentiation and survival during development [1, 2] …

A critical step in neuronal development is the formation of axon/dendrite polarity, a process
involving symmetry breaking in the newborn neuron. Local self-amplifying processes could …

Therapies for stroke have remained elusive in the past despite the great relevance of this
pathology. However, recent results have provided strong evidence that postsynaptic density …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin that plays a key role in the
central nervous system, promoting synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis and neuroprotection …

A large amount of aging individuals show diminished cognitive and endocrine capabilities.
The main brain areas involved in these changes are the hippocampus and hypothalamus …

Alcohol use and abuse appear to be related to neuroadaptive changes at functional,
neurochemical, and structural levels. Acute and chronic ethanol exposure have been shown …

Synaptic activity-dependent gene expression is critical for certain forms of neuronal plasticity
and survival in the mammalian nervous system, yet the mechanisms by which coordinated …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the nerve growth factor family of
neurotrophins and plays a vital role in synaptic plasticity. This study investigated the …

Astrocytes are emerging in the neuroscience field as crucial modulators of brain functions,
