Glutamate – A Forgotten Target for Interval Timing

immunohistochemical analysis against Arc protein was used to test whether a change in the CS–US interval (resulting in a new memory formation for duration) triggers plasticity in the dorsal striatum. In a similar fashion, the “time-shift paradigm” provides a powerful tool for isolating the role of Glu in the formation of memory for target durations. Recently, we examined the effect of intraperi...

Endothelial Dysfunction as a Target for Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease

The endothelium, once considered a mere selectively permeable barrier between the bloodstream and the outer vascular wall, is now recognized to be a crucial homeostatic organ, fundamental for the regulation of the vascular tone and structure. Indeed, endothelial cells are able to synthesize and secrete a broad spectrum of anti-atherosclerotic substances, the most characterized of which is nitri...

Group Transport of an Object to a Target That Only Some Group Members May Sense

This paper addresses the cooperative transport of a heavy object, called prey, towards a sporadically changing target location by a group of robots. The study is focused on the situation in which some robots are given the opportunity to localize the target, while the others (called the blind ones) are not. We propose the use of relatively simple robots capable of self-assembling into structures...

P106: Interleukin-1 Beta; A Forgotten Piece of MS Puzzle Target Therapy

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease which is presented by environmental factors and genetic predisposition, increasingly affecting a large number of people worldwide. CNS inflammation is a local tissue response to stimulants and is characterized by induction of cytokines, chemokines and vascular permeability. Our goal in this study is to understand the micro-environmen...
