Several explanations have been proposed to account for the mechanisms of neuroglial
interactions involved in neural plasticity. We review experimental results addressing plastic …

This review deals with a phenomenon which, although it has been known for five decades,
has not been recognized until recently as a suitable tool for investigations of neuronal-glial …

This paper presents some results on the correlation between the electrophysiological and
intrinsic optical signals (IOS) of spreading depression waves in chicken retinae. We first …

Spreading depression (SD) is a wave-like phenomenon that spreads through the gray
matter of central nervous tissue. The aim of this work is to investigate how cellular energy …

The retina is the most accessible piece of central gray matter in the vertebrate brain. Its wide
dynamic operational range makes it the ideal neuronal network to study its excitability …

In order to form the intricate network of synaptic connections in the brain, the growth cones
migrate through the embryonic environment to their targets using chemical communication …

During embryonic morphogenesis, a collection of individual neurons turns into a functioning
network with unique capabilities. Only recently has this most staggering example of …

The K+‐channel blocker tetraethylammonium (TEA) was applied to study its effects in self‐
sustaining, circling spreading depression in the chicken retina (RSD). Extracellular K+ (Ke+) …

The isolated chick retina provides an in vitro tissue model, in which two protocols were
developed to verify the efficacy of a peptide in the excitability control of the central gray …

During embryonic morpho-genesis, a collection of individual neurons turns into a functioning
network with unique capabilities. We proposed a navigational strategy for neurite growth …
