Experience-dependent plasticity of synaptic transmission, which represents the cellular
basis of learning, is accompanied by morphological changes in dendritic spines. Astrocytic …

Marking functionally distinct neuronal ensembles with high spatiotemporal resolution is a
key challenge in systems neuroscience. We recently introduced CaMPARI, an engineered …

Astrocytes, classically considered as supportive cells for neurons without a direct role in
brain information processing, are emerging as relevant elements in brain physiology through …

Multiple sclerosis is caused by a complex interaction between genetic predisposition and
environmental factors. Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is an environmental risk factor that is strongly …

Brain activity requires a flux of glucose to active regions to sustain increased metabolic
demands. Insulin, the main regulator of glucose handling in the body, has been traditionally …

In hippocampal pyramidal cells, a small subset of dendritic spines contain endoplasmic
reticulum (ER). In large spines, ER frequently forms a spine apparatus, while smaller spines …

Previous findings indicate that reducing brain insulin‐like growth factor I receptor (IGF‐IR)
activity promotes ample neuroprotection. We now examined a possible action of IGF‐IR on …

Dietary starches are important sources of energy for many human societies and it is clear
that they can also make quite specific contributions to health. Resistant starch has received …

Dietary fibre encompasses a huge variety of macromolecules, exhibiting a wide range of
physicochemical properties. Citrus fibre can be obtained from different industrial sources and …

Honey, propolis, and royal jelly, products originating in the beehive, are attractive ingredients
for healthy foods. Honey has been used since ancient times as part of traditional medicine. …
