The neurobiology of memory formation attracts much attention in the last five decades. Conversely, the rules that govern and the mechanisms underlying forgetting are less understood. In addition to retroactive interference, ...

Loss of vision in glaucoma results from the selective death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Tumor necrosis factorα (TNFα) signaling has been linked to RGC damage, however, the mechanism by which TNFα promotes neuronal ...

In primary cultures of mesencephalon small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (SK) are expressed in dopaminergic neurons. We characterized SK-mediated currents (ISK) in this system and evaluated their role ...

Repeated administration of psychostimulant drugs or stress can elicit a sensitized response to the stimulating and reinforcing properties of the drug. Here we explore the mechanisms in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) whereby ...

Stress alters brain function by modifying the structure and function of neurons and astrocytes. The fine processes of astrocytes are critical for the clearance of neurotransmitters during synaptic transmission. Thus, ...

The presence in the atmosphere of glyphosate (GLP) and atrazine (ATZ) was investigated—those pesticides dominating the market in Argentina—through rain, as the main climatic phenomenon associated with wet deposition, both ...
