Modeling Neuronal Vulnerability in ALS
Using computational models of motor neuron ion fluxes, firing properties, and energy requirements, Le Masson et al. (2014) reveal how local imbalances in energy homeostasis may self-amplify and contribute to neurodegeneration in ALS.
متن کاملSomatostatin and Somatostatin-Containing Neurons in Shaping Neuronal Activity and Plasticity
Since its discovery over four decades ago, somatostatin (SOM) receives growing scientific and clinical interest. Being localized in the nervous system in a subset of interneurons somatostatin acts as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator and its role in the fine-tuning of neuronal activity and involvement in synaptic plasticity and memory formation are widely recognized in the recent literature....
متن کاملTetrahydrobiopterin deficiency increases neuronal vulnerability to hypoxia.
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential co-factor for nitric oxide synthases (NOS). The aim of the present work was to study whether BH4 deficiency affects the vulnerability of neurones in primary culture to hypoxia. Intracellular BH4 levels were depleted by pre-incubating neurones with 5 mm 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine (DAHP) for 18 h, after which cells were exposed for 1 h to normoxic or...
متن کاملIntegrated behavioral z-scoring increases the sensitivity and reliability of behavioral phenotyping in mice: relevance to emotionality and sex.
Defining anxiety- and depressive-like states in mice (emotionality) is best characterized by the use of complementary tests, leading sometimes to puzzling discrepancies and lack of correlation between similar paradigms. To address this issue, we hypothesized that integrating measures along the same behavioral dimensions in different tests would reduce the intrinsic variability of single tests a...
متن کاملEmotionality and Social Behaviour
The trait Emotional Intelligence (trait E.I.) construct shifted the interest in personality research to the investigation of the effect of global personality characteristics on behaviour. In this article the role of personality traits in the occurrence of emotional and behavioural strengths and difficulties was investigated. Five hundred fifty-nine students aged 12-14 years, completed The Trait...
