Arousal and anxiety are behavioral responses that involve complex neurocircuitries and
multiple neurochemical components. Here, we report that a neuropeptide, neuropeptide S (NPS)…

It has been proposed that the endurance of long-term potentiation (LTP) depends on structural
changes entailing reorganization of the spine actin cytoskeleton. The present study used …

Sharp waves (SPWs) are thought to play a major role in intrinsic hippocampal operations
during states in which subcortical and cortical inputs to hippocampus are reduced. This study …

Changes in the biophysical properties of AMPA-type glutamate receptors have been proposed
to mediate the expression of long-term potentiation (LTP). The present study tested if, as …

Spontaneous negative-going potentials occurring at an average frequency of 0.7 Hz were
recorded from the dentate gyrus of slices prepared from the temporal hippocampus of young …

Whole cell recording (EPSCs) and extracellular recording (field EPSPs) were compared in
hippocampal field CA1 with regard to the effects of experimental treatments that increase …

The life-cycle of Puccinia sorghi, a heteroecious fungus, consists of five well-defined spore
stages. The uredinial and telial stages are completed on the primary host (maize) whereas …

Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), caused by Exserohilum turcicum (E. turcicum), is one of
