چکیده
Hollis Cline is the Robertson Professor of Neuroscience at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. She is a recent NIH Director’s Pioneer Awardee, is on the Board of Scientific Counselors for the NINDS and a previous Counselor of the Society for Neuroscience. Dr. Cline’s research investigates mechanisms of brain development using in vivo imaging, electrophysiological recordings and molecular manipulations. She is particularly interested in the role of experience in shaping or modifying brain circuitry.

Microglia and synapse interactions: fine tuning neural circuits and candidate molecules
Brain function depends critically on the interactions among the underlying components that comprise neural circuits. This includes coordinated activity in pre-synaptic and postsynaptic neuronal elements, but also in the non-neuronal elements such as glial cells. Microglia are glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) that have well-known roles in neuronal immune function, responding to in...
متن کاملP166: The Role of Interlukin-6 of Immune Cells in Neuronal Dysfunctions in the Autism Disease
About thirty years ago, the interlukin-6 (IL-6) which is the proinflammatory cytokine, was detected as the differentiation factor of B cell. IL-6 is able to induce maturation in B cells and as a result, B cells achieve the ability to produce antibodies. In addition to immune responses, the role of IL-6 has been known in neurogenesis (neurons and glial cells). The studies have showed that the ab...

Introduction: The increasing use of electromagnetic field generators in our daily life in one hand and on contradictory reports on the effects of their waves on public health on the other hand encourages scientists to do more and more research work in this field. One of the most important topics is the study of gene defect due to microwave radiation. Materials and Met...

The development of the brain as the most complex structure of the human body is a long process that begins in the third week of pregnancy and continues until adulthood and even until the end of life (1). Human brain myelination begins one to two months before birth in the visual system and eventually lasts until the age of two in other sensory systems and then the motor systems (4). Processes a...
متن کاملP 136: The Role of Blood Brain Barrier in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disorder, in which neurons become demyelinated. To date, its etiology has remained unknown. Nevertheless, certain features are inspected to provoke MS. For instance, improper function of immune cells is widely believed to be the basis of such disorder. In this concept, MS is stated as an autoimmune disease, which was asserted by major of studies, as CD...
