GABAρ Expression in the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body
ABSTRACT: The Calyx of Held (CoH) synapse is the largest synapse in mammals. It is located in the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) and forms part of the auditory pathway. Modest GABAergic signaling is present in the CoH before hearing onset, when glutamatergic transmission predominates.
Anorexia disrupts glutamate-glutamine homeostasis associated with astroglia in the prefrontal cortex of young female rats
ABSTRACT:Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder characterized by self-starvation and excessive weight loss with a notorious prevalence in young women. The neurobiology of AN is unknown but murine models, like dehydration induced anorexia (DIA), reproduce weight loss and avoidance of food despite its availability.
Environmental Enrichment Differentially Activates Neural Circuits in FVB/N Mice, Inducing Social Interaction in Females but Agonistic Behavior in Males
ABSTRACT: Environmental enrichment induces behavioral and structural modifications in rodents and influences the capability of mice to cope with stress. However, little is understood about hippocampal neurogenesis and the appearance of social/agonistic (aggressive) behavior upon activation of different neuronal circuits in FVB/N mice.
