In the cerebral cortex, diverse types of neurons form intricate circuits and cooperate in time
for the processing and storage of information. Recent advances reveal a spatiotemporal …

The neurobiology of itch, which is formally known as pruritus, and its interaction with pain
have been illustrated by the complexity of specific mediators, itch-related neuronal pathways …

Recently published work and emerging research efforts have suggested that the olfactory
system is intimately linked with the endocrine systems that regulate or modify energy …

Human monogenic obesity syndromes, including Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), implicate
neuronal primary cilia in regulation of energy homeostasis. Cilia in hypothalamic neurons …

Neuropeptides acting on pre-and postsynaptic receptors are coreleased with GABA by
interneurons including bistratified and O-LM cells, both expressing somatostatin but …

Acute brain insults, such as traumatic brain injury, status epilepticus, or stroke are common
etiologies for the development of epilepsy, including temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), which is …

With rapid aging of the population worldwide, the number of people with dementia is
dramatically increasing. Some studies have emphasized that metabolic syndrome, which …

The area postrema is a medullary structure lying at the base of the fourth ventricle. The area
postrema's privileged location outside of the blood-brain barrier make this sensory …

In the cerebral cortex, GABAergic interneurons are often regarded as fast-spiking cells. We
have identified a type of slow-spiking interneuron that offers distinct contributions to network …

Repeated, extreme, or traumatic stressors can elicit pathological effects leading to many
negative physical and psychological outcomes. Stressors can precipitate the onset of …
