متن کاملWNT SIGNALING IN MICROGLIA WNTs as novel regulators of microglia
Microglia, the immunocompetent cells of the central nervous system (CNS) and the brain’s own macrophages are the most motile cells in the CNS and those with highest plasticity, as they rapidly move their projections to actively screen their environment for any type of injury. Upon cell damage or infection, microglia respond quickly: they proliferate, change morphology from ramified to amoeboid ...
متن کاملNanotechnology and Neuroscience Convergence: A Novel Tool for Neurotransmitters Monitoring
Since neurotransmitters significantly influence the brain activity, our understanding of the human brain will remain imperfect until all aspects relating to them become clear. One of the key challenges in neuroscience researches and therapies is elucidating the mechanisms by which the neurotransmitter release take place and is regulated in quantity and in time. Despite the enormous number of st...
متن کاملIntroduction: the Role of Modern Neuroscience in Sexuality Research
The past decade has witnessed an explosion of neuroscience research on sexuality. This research has been driven by three forces: the quest of drug companies for Viagra and even better successors; technological advances in numerous areas, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology; and advances in neuroscience techniques in both animal and human postmortem research. The re...
متن کاملThe place of human psychophysics in modern neuroscience
Human psychophysics is the quantitative measurement of our own perceptions. In essence, it is simply a more sophisticated version of what humans have done since time immemorial: noticed and reflected upon what we can see, hear, and feel. In the 21st century, when hugely powerful techniques are available that enable us to probe the innermost structure and function of nervous systems, is human ps...
