THE TEMPOROAMMONIC INPUT TO THE HIPPOCAMPAL CA1 REGION DISPLAYS DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY COMPARED TO THE SCHAFFER COLLATERAL INPUT IN VIVO: SIGNIFICANCE FOR SYNAPTIC INFORMATION PROCESSING

The temporoammonic input to the hippocampal CA1 region displays distinctly different synaptic plasticity compared to the Schaffer collateral input in vivo: significance for synaptic information processing

In terms of its sub-regional differentiation, the hippocampal CA1 region receives cortical information directly via the perforant (temporoammonic) path (pp-CA1 synapse) and indirectly via the tri-synaptic pathway where the last relay station is the Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapse (Sc-CA1 synapse).Research to date on pp-CA1 synapses has been conduct

Protein and lipid metabolism adjustments in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) during different periods of fasting and refeeding

Abstract The fish may experience periods of food deprivation or starvation which produce metabolic changes.In this study, adult Rhamdia quelen males were subjected to fasting periods of 1, 7, 14, and 21 days and of refeeding 2, 4, 6, and 12 days.The results demonstrated that liver protein was depleted after 1 day of fasting, but recovered after Gla

Manipulating heat shock factor-1 in Xenopus tadpoles: neuronal tissues are refractory to exogenous expression.

BACKGROUND: The aging related decline of heat shock factor-1 (HSF1) signaling may be causally related to protein aggregation diseases.To model such disease, we tried to cripple HSF1 signaling in the Xenopus tadpole.RESULTS: Over-expression of heat shock factor binding protein-1 did not inhibit the heat shock response in Xenopus.RNAi against HSF1 mR
