The neuromodulatory transmitter serotonin(5-hydroxytryptamine,5-HT)is synthesized by neurons located in the brainstem,which project more or less densely to the entire central nervous system(Charnay and Leger,2010).

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive muscle wasting, breathing and swallowing difficulties resulting in patient\'s death in two to five years after disease onset. In amyotrophic lateral sclerosi
Introduction: Memory consolidation stabilizes newly acquired memories by integrating them into pre-existing memory networks, which is thought to occur via changes in synaptic strength. Sleep may influence memory consolidation by modifying synaptic strengt
A great challenge in neuroscience has been to understand how neurons communicate.The neuroanatomists of the 19th Century could see neurons stretching processes to contact other neurons,but could not see the detail of the contact.
Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) is a tyrosine kinase receptor primarily expressed on microglia and a small subpopulation of neurons in the central nervous system (CNS), which directly controls the homeostasis, activation, and proliferation of
The ability to protect cellular components in the face of deleterious conditions, such as exposure to chemical poisons, damaging radiation, or excessive heat, is crucial to organismal viability. Several compartmentalized stress response pathways have evol
The trigeminal nerve and its peripheral branches are susceptible to injury in the dental practice due to surgical removal of impacted third molars and placement of dental implants. Although peripheral trigeminal nerve injuries can undergo spontaneous rege
During the last decades, advances in the understanding of genetic, cellular, and microstructural alterations associated to Huntington\'s disease (HD) have improved the understanding of this progressive and fatal illness. However, events related to early
The knockout of the chemokine C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) in growth-stimulated retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) has a multiplicative effect on optic nerve regeneration. C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12), the exclusive ligand of CXCR4, is
The term immunophilin involves a family of proteins whose domain shows peptidyl-prolyl-(cis/trans)-isomerase (PPIase) enzymatic activity, i.e., the reversible cis/trans interconversion of Xaa-Pro bonds (Annett et al., 2020). The PPIase domain of these pro
Neurons of the mature central nervous system (CNS, mainly the brain and spinal cord) are unable to regenerate spontaneously after a lesion, in contrast to neurons of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). While the extraneuronal environment was long thought
