Abstract Pannexin‐1 (Panx1) is a large pore membrane channel with unique conduction
properties ranging from non‐selective ion permeability to the extracellular release of …

Microglia represent the immune system of the brain. Their role is central in two phenomena,
neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, which are at the roots of different pathologies …

The objective of this paper was to collect normative data essential for analyzing the subplate
(SP) role in pathogenesis of developmental disorders, characterized by abnormal circuitry …

The adult subventricular zone (SVZ) of the mammalian brain contains neural progenitor cells
(NPCs) that continuously produce neuroblasts throughout life. These neuroblasts migrate …

The incidence of brain pathologies has increased during last decades. Better diagnosis
(autism spectrum disorders) and longer life expectancy (Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's …

Under physiological conditions, microglia adopt a resting phenotype associated with the
production of anti-inflammatory and neurotrophic factors. In response to a wide variety of …

Connexins and pannexins share very similar structures and functions; they also exhibit
overlapping expression in many stages of neuronal development. Here, we review evidence …

Tanycytes are hypothalamic radial glia-like cells that form the basal wall of the third ventricle
(3V) where they sense glucose and modulate neighboring neuronal activity to control …

Introduction The subventricular zone (SVZ) is a brain region that contains neural stem cells
and progenitor cells (NSCs/NPCs) from which new neurons and glial cells are formed during …

By 2040 neurodegenerative diseases will become the world's second leading cause of
death after cardiovascular disease (WHO). Major efforts are required to elucidate the …
