The histological maturation of pyramidal cells from the deeper layer of the neocortex was studied in phenylketonuric rats. The main alterations consist of a decrease in the number and span of dendritic basilar processes ...

The recovery cycle of the amplitude of the potential evoked in the cerebral neocortex by paired electrical stimuli of the underlying white matter was studied in 5 epileptic patients with intracerebral electrodes chronically ...

The Golgi-Cox method was used to study the maturation of the large pyramidal cells of the Vth cortical layer in two groups of adult rats, one subjected to early postnatal malnutrition and another malnourished only during ...

Perinatal asphyxia occurs in approximately 0.3% full-term newborn babies, and this percentage has not decreased despite medical advances. There are now evidences indicating that neurosteroids are important in neurodevelopment ...

Memories are a product of the concerted activity of many brain areas. Deregulation of consolidation and reprocessing of mnemonic traces that encode fearful experiences might result in fear-related psychopathologies. Here, ...

Organization of neocortical circuits is critical for sensory perception, learning and multisensory integration. In the primary somatosensory area (S1) layer IV neurons receive thalamic inputs and synapse onto layer II/III ...
