The many facets of the oxytocin (OXT) system of the brain and periphery elicited nearly
25,000 publications since 1930 (see, as listed in PubMed), which revealed central roles for …

There is a long-standing paradox that NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) receptors (NMDARs)
can both promote neuronal health and kill neurons. Recent studies show that NMDAR …

BDNF signaling via its transmembrane receptor TrkB has an important role in neuronal
survival, differentiation, and synaptic plasticity. Remarkably, BDNF is capable of modulating …

Transcription is a molecular requisite for long-term synaptic plasticity and long-term memory
formation. Thus, in the last several years, one main interest of molecular neuroscience has …

Synaptic plasticity confers environmental adaptability through modification of the
connectivity between neurons and neuronal circuits. This is achieved through changes to …

Cocaine addiction is characterized by a gradual loss of control over drug use, but the
molecular mechanisms regulating vulnerability to this process remain unclear. Here we …

The structural plasticity of dendritic spines is considered to be essential for various forms of
synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. The process is mediated by a complex signaling …

NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) receptors are a subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptor with
an important role in the physiology and pathophysiology of central neurons. Inappropriate …

Elevated extracellular potassium chloride is widely used to achieve membrane
depolarization of cultured neurons. This technique has illuminated mechanisms of calcium …

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, memristive devices capable of detecting,
processing, and memorizing deep-ultraviolet (DUV) signals are very promising for encoding …
