Glucose is the essential energy source for the brain, whose deficit, triggered by energy
deprivation or therapeutic agents, can be fatal. Increased appetite is the key behavioral defense …

Complementary actions of the neocortex and the hippocampus enable encoding and long-term
storage of experience dependent memories. Standard models for memory storage …

Prader-Willi and the related Schaaf-Yang Syndromes (PWS/SYS) are rare neurodevelopmental
disorders characterized by overlapping phenotypes of high incidence of autism …

Background: Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH)-expressing neurons have been implicated
in regulation of energy homeostasis and reward, yet the role of their electrical activity in …

Mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to transdifferentiate into neurons and therefore one
of the potential adult stem cell source for neuronal tissue regeneration applications and …

Prader–Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder causing social and learning
deficits, impaired satiety and severe childhood obesity. Genetic underpinning of PWS …

Memory storage in the brain is one of the most extensively studied subjects in neuroscience.
However, due to the highly complex structure of the memory-related systems in the brain, …

storage of experience dependent memories. Standard models for memory storage …

The ability to consistently recognise an object despite sensory input that varies with environmental
conditions and/or distance from the object is termed perceptual constancy. This is not …

The action potential and its all-or-none nature is fundamental to neural communication.
Canonically, the action potential is initiated once voltage-activated Na + channels are activated, …
