Short- and long-term neuronal plasticity in hippocampal CA1 region of rat
(2010-06-14)
The brain is highly plastic, displaying both short- and long-term changes, resulting from developmental processes as well as learning and memory. Moreover, short-term plasticity such as paired pulse facilitation and ...
Behavior and cytogenesis following irradiation or isoflurane exposure to the developing brain
(2010-08-30)
In this thesis, the effects of an anesthetic agent, isoflurane, on the young brain and resulting behavioral effects were investigated. Anesthesia is commonly used in young children during surgery or other procedures ...
Hippocampal volumetry in mild cognitive impairment
(2010-09-10)
Dementia is a syndrome with cognitive decline as a prominent feature. MCI is similarly a syndrome of cognitive decline, albeit with much subtler symptoms, and has been identified as a condition at risk for progression to ...
Differences in glutamatergic transmission onto interneurons and pyramidal cells in the rat hippocampus
(2010-09-03)
In the human brain there are about 100 billion excitatory glutamatergic neurons and 10 billion inhibitory GABAergic neurons. During development, these neurons are synaptically wired together into neural networks, functionally ...
