Several techniques and protocols of non-invasive transcranial brain stimulation (NIBS),
including transcranial magnetic and electrical stimuli, have been developed in the past …

LTP and LTD, the long-term potentiation and depression of excitatory synaptic transmission,
are widespread phenomena expressed at possibly every excitatory synapse in the …

Subsynaptic structures such as bouton, active zone, postsynaptic density (PSD) and
dendritic spine, are highly correlated in their dimensions and also correlate with synapse …

Experiences, whether they be learning in a classroom, a stressful event, or ingestion of a
psychoactive substance, impact the brain by modifying the activity and organization of …

Understanding the mechanisms that underlie learning is one of the most fascinating and
central aims of neurobiological research. Hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) is …

Years of intensive investigation have yielded a sophisticated understanding of long-term
potentiation (LTP) induced in hippocampal area CA1 by high-frequency stimulation (HFS) …

The immune system is well characterized for its critical role in host defense. Far beyond this
limited role however, there is mounting evidence for the vital role the immune system plays …

A little over 20 years ago,(Teyler and DiScenna, 1986; Behav Neurosci 100: 147–152)
proposed the hippocampal memory index theory. It offered an account of episodic memory …

Loss of the translational repressor FMRP causes Fragile X syndrome. In healthy neurons,
FMRP modulates the local translation of numerous synaptic proteins. Synthesis of these …

We have reported that neonatal infection leads to memory impairment after an immune
challenge in adulthood. Here we explored whether events occurring as a result of early …
