Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a reflection of synaptic plasticity that has an important role in learning and memory. LTP is a long-lasting increase of synaptic activity due to enhancement of excitatory synaptic transmission after a high-frequency train of electrical stimulation. The role of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors in excitatory synaptic tran...

Glyphosate (GP) is a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide which used for killing wide variety of harmful plants. Several recent studies indicate possible adverse health effects on humans. This work focused detection and adsorption GP its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) silver-capped silicon nanopillars using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Density Functional Theory with th...

The use of glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) in industrial agriculture has intensified the past decades, causing a growing concern about occurrence and spatial distribution glyphosate its principal metabolite, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), environment. In 2014, AMPA content was measured 45 soils from St. Lawrence Lowlands (Quebec, Canada) before seeding at harvest soybean field crops usin...

Objective(s): Bisphenol A (BPA), a xenoestrogenic endocrine disrupting agent, is widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and has potential adverse effects on the developing nervous system, memory and learning abilities. The protective effect of the crocin, an important active constituent in Crocus sativus L, on memory impairment induced by BPA in rat wa...

A new sensitive and selective analytical methodology to quantify glyphosate (GLY), aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), glufosinate (GLU) in both soil earthworms (Allolobophora chlorotica) was developed. The extraction purification methods were optimized. samples extracted with various aqueous solutions (HNO3, H2O, KOH borate buffer) derivatized 9-Fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOCCl). To optimi...

Abstract Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in United States; however, concern escalating about increasing residues of glyphosate and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) soil. There a lack scientific literature examining response cover crops to soil or AMPA. The objectives this study were evaluate impact AMPA silty clay loam on emergence, growth, biomass crops, including ...

Abstract The lightweight design of the hood is crucial for structural optimization an entire vehicle. However, traditional high-fidelity-based methods are time-consuming due to complex structures hood, and results heavily rely on engineering experiences. To this end, improved Adaptive Marine Predator Algorithm (AMPA) proposed solve problem. Compared original (MPA), AMPA adapts problems through ...

Glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain. AMPA-type glutamate receptors mediate fast excitatory transmission. AMPA receptors assemble with transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory protein (TARP) auxiliary subunits and function as native ion channels. However, the assembly and stoichiometry of AMPA receptor and TARP complexes remain unclear. Here, we developed a nov...
