neurotransmittersynaptic plasticityHeart failure (HF) is often accompanied by cognitive impairment (CI). Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) deficiency is closely associated with CI. However, the role and mechanism of BDNF in HF with CI is still not fully understood. Here, the case–control ...
What neurotransmitter is used by neurons with cell bodies in the raphe nuclei along the midline of the brainstem? (a) Serotonin. (b) Dopamine. (c) Glycine. (d) GABA.Which of these components are not part of a reflex arc? a. Brain b. Motor neurons c. Interneurons neurons d. Sensory ...
To explore the role of epigenetic regulation for this change inGrin2bexpression, we analysed DNA methylation at two adjacent regions in theGrin2bpromoter, one containing a predicted Nrf1 binding site and one that is homologous to a region in mice that has previously been shown to be affected by...
Neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) are specialized synapses that connect motor neurons to skeletal muscle fibers and orchestrate proper signal transmission from the nervous system to muscles. The efficient formation and maintenance of the postsynaptic machin

Even though we found BDNF levels to be unchanged after the present protocol of exercise, we observed increased levels of SYN at EX7. SYN is involved in vesicle clustering, neurotransmitter release, axonal elongation and maintenance of synaptic contacts (Fornasiero et al., 2010, Greengard et al...

Concentration of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate ([Glu]) must fall off with increasing distance from a strong input and could play some role in lateral interactions. Whereas NMDA receptors are essential for most forms of postsynaptically expressed LTP and are driven by high [Glu], lower ...
Overproduction of LH, a hormone that is critical in ovulation and pregnancy, could be responsible for the decrease of mouse progeny in MRL mice compared to MRL-IRAK4-KD (Suppl. Fig. 3C). Interestingly, expression of both LH and BDNF are known to be increased in SLE patients and are also...
negative regulation of neurotransmitter, negative regulation of protein secretion and synapse assembly and organization (Fig.3c, red lines). These processes are related to synapse formation and function, long-term potentiation (LTP), and learning (Fig.3c, red lines), suggesting the switch of the ...
