Active neurons increase their energy supply by dilating nearby arterioles and capillaries.
This neurovascular coupling underlies blood oxygen level–dependent functional imaging …

Objectives were to determine factors associated with conception rate (CR) and pregnancy
loss (PL) in high producing lactating Holstein cows. In Study 1, CR was evaluated in 7633 …

Objective— To determine whether heifers with naturally acquired congenital exposure to
Neospora sp would transmit the infection to their offspring during gestation. Design— …

Extrasynaptic actions of glutamate are limited by high-affinity transporters expressed by
perisynaptic astroglial processes (PAPs): this helps maintain point-to-point transmission in …

Temporal lobe epilepsy is associated with large-scale, wide-ranging changes in gene expression
in the hippocampus. Epigenetic changes to DNA are attractive mechanisms to explain …

Maintaining low intracellular calcium is essential to the functioning of brain cells, yet the
phenomenology and mechanisms involved remain an enigma. We have advanced a two-photon …

There is growing evidence for the effectiveness of choice architecture or ‘nudge’ interventions
to change a range of behaviours including the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and food. …

Low public support for government interventions in health, environment and other policy
domains can be a barrier to implementation. Communicating evidence of policy effectiveness …

Electrically non-excitable astroglia take up neurotransmitters, buffer extracellular K + and
generate Ca 2+ signals that release molecular regulators of neural circuitry. The underlying …

Increasing the prices of products that harm health is an effective intervention for changing
behaviour to improve health but public support for such interventions is generally low. The …
