Selective vulnerability of specific brain regions and cell populations is a hallmark of
neurodegenerative disorders. Mechanisms of selective vulnerability involve neuronal …

Human brains vary across people and over time; such variation is not yet understood in
cellular terms. Here we describe a relationship between people's cortical neurons and …

Astrocytes are emerging as key regulators of cognitive function and behavior. This review
highlights some of the latest advances in the understanding of astrocyte roles in different …

Background. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and arterial hypertension (AH) are closely
linked disorders with common pathophysiological features. Objectives. The present study …

Locus coeruleus (LC)-derived norepinephrine (NE) drives network and behavioral
adaptations to environmental saliencies by reconfiguring circuit connectivity, but the …

Astrocytes have been in the limelight of active research for about 3 decades now. Over this
period, ideas about their function and role in the nervous system have evolved from simple …

Chloride ions (Cl−) play a pivotal role in synaptic inhibition in the central nervous system,
primarily mediated through ionotropic mechanisms. A recent breakthrough emphathizes the …

Background The transition from childhood to adolescence is characterized by enhanced
neural plasticity and a consequent susceptibility to both beneficial and adverse aspects of …

Astrocytes play significant roles in regulating the central stress response. Chronic stress
impairs the structure and function of astrocytes in many brain regions such as media …

Updating behavior based on feedback from the environment is a crucial means by which
organisms learn and develop optimal behavioral strategies. Norepinephrine (NE) release …
