Exposure to chronic stress is a leading pre-disposing factor for several neuropsychiatric
disorders as it often leads to maladaptive responses. The response to stressful events is …

In adult mammals, under physiological conditions, neurogenesis, the process of generating
new functional neurons from precursor cells, occurs mainly in two brain areas: the …

Lipocalin-2 (LCN2), an iron-related protein well described to participate in the innate
immune response, has been shown to modulate spine morphology and to regulate neuronal …

Alterations in hormone levels during aging impact on cognition and mood. Serum concentration
levels of testosterone (TT), estradiol (E2), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing …

The habenula is activated in response to stressful and aversive events, resulting in exploratory
inhibition. Although possible mechanisms for habenula activation have been proposed, …

Exposure to chronic stress leads to an array of anatomical, functional, and metabolic changes
in the brain that play a key role in triggering psychiatric disorders such as depression. The …

Neudesin (also known as neuron derived neurotrophic factor, Nenf) is a scarcely studied
putative non-canonical neurotrophic factor. In order to understand its function in the brain, we …

The continuous generation of new neurons in the adult mammalian hippocampus is a form
of neural plasticity that modulates learning and memory functions, and also emotion (anxiety …

Multisite neural probes are a fundamental tool to study brain function. Hybrid silicon/polymer
neural probes combine rigid silicon and flexible polymer parts into one single device and …

Neudesin (Neuron-derived neurotrophic factor, NENF), a membrane-associated
progesterone receptor family (MAPR) member, is a neuron secreted protein with neurotrophic …
