Microglia, the brain's tissue resident parenchymal macrophages, are described as becoming "activated" as they deftly change their production of different inflammatory mediators, alter the surveillance behavior of their cellular protrusions, and differentially influence the function of astrocytes. For their...
Parietal lobesare where sensation is processed and interpreted. Aside from touch, pressure, andpain, there is also the concept of spatial cognition, where the brain recognizes where the body is in relationship to the area around it. Temporal lobesare where the functions of memory, speech, andhe...

aHowever, abolishing one major form of intracellular Ca2+ signal within astrocytes was without obvious consequence for neuronal function 然而,废除细胞内Ca2+信号的一个主要形式在星形细胞之内是没有明显的后果为神经细胞的作用[translate] aWaterproof Fitted Mattress Protector 防水适合的床垫保护者[translate] ...
Microglia and astrocytes play essential roles in the central nervous system contributing to many functions including homeostasis, immune response, blood-brain barrier maintenance and synaptic support. Evidence has emerged from experimental models of glial communication that microglia and astrocytes influence an...
Two factors that lead to the tobacco smoking habit are the rewarding effects of nicotine, and the motivation to alleviate the neg- ative affective aspects of nicotine withdrawal. Thus, targeting both of these two aspects of nicotine dependence may be needed to assist people in smoking cessation....
