Global changes of activity in neuronal networks induce homeostatic adaptations of synaptic
strengths, which involve functional remodeling of both presynaptic and postsynaptic …

Bassoon and the related protein Piccolo are core components of the presynaptic cytomatrix
at the active zone of neurotransmitter release. They are transported on Golgi-derived …

In this paper we considered family functioning from a systemic perspective, while we try to
point out the relationship between patterns of family functioning, parenting style of the parents …

Despite the central role of amyloid β (Aβ) peptide in the etiopathogenesis of Alzheimer’s
disease (AD), its physiological function in healthy brain is still debated. It is well established that …

Ketamine produces a rapid antidepressant response in patients with major depressive disorder
(MDD), but the underlying mechanisms appear multifaceted. One hypothesis, proposes …

Homeostatic plasticity is a process by which neurons adapt to the overall network activity to
keep their firing rates in a reasonable range. At the cellular level this kind of plasticity …

Riluzole is a potent neuroprotective agent which primarily inhibits excitatory neurotransmission
interfering with presynaptic release, uptake and postsynaptic actions of glutamate by …

Dysfunctions in the immune system appear implicated in both disease onset and progression
of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Neurodegeneration observed in the brain of PD patients has …

C-terminal binding proteins (CtBPs) are well-characterized nuclear transcriptional co-regulators.
In addition, cytoplasmic functions were discovered for these ubiquitously expressed …

Introduction In seriously infected patients with acute renal failure and who require continuous
renal replacement therapy, data on continuous infusion of ceftazidime are lacking. Here we …
