Microglial Corpse Clearance: Lessons From Macrophages
(Frontiers Media, 2020-03-27)
From development to aging and disease, the brain parenchyma is under the constant threat of debris accumulation, in the form of dead cells and protein aggregates. To prevent garbage buildup, the brain is equipped with ...
A Clonal NG2-Glia Cell Response in a Mouse Model of Multiple Sclerosis
(MDPI, 2020-05-21)
NG2-glia, also known as oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), have the potential to generate new mature oligodendrocytes and thus, to contribute to tissue repair in demyelinating diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS). ...
A Genotyping Method Combining Primer Competition PCR with HRM Analysis to Identify Point Mutations in Duchenne Animal Models
(Nature, 2020-10-14)
Dystrophin-null sapje zebrafish is an excellent model for better understanding the pathological mechanisms underlying Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and it has recently arisen as a powerful tool for high-throughput screening ...
Communicative and Social Skills among Medical Students in Spain: A Descriptive Analysis
(MDPI, 2020-02-21)
Effective risk communication in public health requires the development of social skills such as active listening and empathy. Communicative and social skills were evaluated in third-year medical students (<i>n</i> = 917) ...
Changes in Day/Night Activity in the 6-OHDA-Induced Experimental Model of Parkinson’s Disease: Exploring Prodromal Biomarkers
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-14)
The search for experimental models mimicking an early stage of Parkinson's disease (PD) before motor manifestations is fundamental in order to explore early signs and get a better prognosis. Interestingly, our previous ...
Neurocognitive, social cognitive, and clinical predictors of creativity in schizophrenia
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2020-10)
Background: Creativity is considered an essential human accomplishment and a key component for daily life problem solving. It has been suggested that impairment in working memory, cognitive flexibility, and theory of mind ...
Cannabinoid Control of Olfactory Processes: The Where Matters
(MDPI, 2020-04-16)
Olfaction has a direct influence on behavior and cognitive processes. There are different neuromodulatory systems in olfactory circuits that control the sensory information flowing through the rest of the brain. The presence ...
Specific Hippocampal Interneurons Shape Consolidation of Recognition Memory
(Cell Press, 2020-08-18)
A complex array of inhibitory interneurons tightly controls hippocampal activity, but how such diversity specifically affects memory processes is not well understood. We find that a small subclass of type 1 cannabinoid ...
Synucleinopathy alters nanoscale organization anddiffusion in the brain extracellular space throughhyaluronan remodeling
(Nature, 2020-07-10)
In recent years, exploration of the brain extracellular space (ECS) has made remarkable progress, including nanoscopic characterizations. However, whether ECS precise conformation is altered during brain pathology remains ...
Special Issue “Olfaction: From Genes to Behavior”
(MDPI, 2020-06-15)
The senses dictate how the brain represents the environment, and this representation is the basis of how we act in the world [...]
