The present paper examines the nature and function of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in hippocampal formation consequences changes its expression. focuses on literature describing role BDNF development neuroplasticity. expression is highly sensitive to developmental environmental factors, increased signaling enhances neurogenesis, neurite sprouting, electrophysiological activity, other processes reflective a general enhancement function. Such increases activity may mediate...
The lack of effective therapies for moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) leaves patients with lifelong disabilities. Neural stem cells (NSCs) have demonstrated great promise neural repair and regeneration. However, direct evidence to support their use as a cell replacement therapy is currently lacking. We hypothesized that NSC-derived extracellular vesicles (NSC EVs) mediate indirectly after TBI by enhancing neuroprotection therapeutic efficacy endogenous NSCs. evaluated the...
The authors examined the effects of activity wheel running (AWR) and propranolol on contextual fear conditioning (CFC) messenger RNA (mRNA) for galanin (GAL) in locus coeruleus (LC) brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) hippocampal formation (HF) rats. Freezing behavior during testing session CFC protocol was elevated AWR-placebo group compared to sedentary-placebo AWR-propranolol groups. AWR increased GAL mRNA LC. BDNF HF. These results suggest that exercise enhances antagonism...
Our goal is to investigate if microbiota composition modulates reward signaling and assess the role of vagus in mediating brain communication.
The neuropeptide galanin has been implicated in stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders humans and rodent models. While pharmacological treatments for these are ineffective many individuals, physical activity is beneficial symptoms. Galanin highly expressed the noradrenergic system, particularly locus coeruleus (LC), which dysregulated activated by exercise. expression elevated LC chronic exercise, blockade of transmission attenuates exercise-induced stress resilience. However, most...
Women are at increased risk for mood disorders, which may be partly attributed to exposure endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) during sensitive periods such as pregnancy. Exposure these times can impact brain development in the offspring, potentially leading disorders later life. Additionally, fluctuating levels of endogenous estrogens, seen pregnancy, or use oral contraceptives, further elevate this risk. This study examines cumulative effects prenatal EDC combined with chronic low-dose...
Globally significant variation in treatment and course of heart valve disease (HVD) exists, outcome measurement is procedure focused instead patient focused. This article describes the development a patient-related (International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement) standard set outcomes case mix to be measured patients with HVD. A multisociety working group was formed that included representatives from scientific cardiology cardiothoracic surgery societies publish current guidelines...
