A large amount of evidence has demonstrated the power of exercise to support cognitive
function, the effects of which can last for considerable time. An emerging line of scientific …

Long-lasting memories require specific gene expression programmes that are, in part,
orchestrated by epigenetic mechanisms. Of the epigenetic modifications identified in …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor has emerged as one of the most important molecules
involved in memory. Its wide role in different types of memories that depend on different …

Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the formation and
maintenance of memories is a central goal of the neuroscience community. It is well …

Proper neuronal migration and laminar formation during corticogenesis is essential for
normal brain function. Disruption of these developmental processes is thought to be …

Significant data suggest that soluble Aβ oligomers play an important role in Alzheimer's
disease (AD), but there is great confusion over what exactly constitutes an Aβ oligomer and …

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are characterized by aberrant and delayed early-life
development of the brain, leading to deficits in language, cognition, motor behaviour and …

Physical exercise is associated with positive neural functioning. Here we examined the gene
expression consequences of 1 week of voluntary wheel running in adolescent male mice …

Quality of maternal care in infancy is an important contributing factor in the development of
behavior and psychopathology. One way maternal care could affect behavioral trajectories …

Memory consolidation involves transcriptional control of genes in neurons to stabilize a
newly formed memory. Following retrieval, a once consolidated memory destabilizes and …
