Recent studies have provided evidence of the widespread incidence of sensory dysfunction
following stroke. The importance of these findings lies in the association between sensory …

Why does smoking marijuana impair learning and memory? Behavioral studies suggest that
a disruption of normal hippocampal function contributes to these deficits. In vitro experiments …

We have determined the gene structure for the NMDA receptor subunit gene NMDAR1. We
found eight splice variants that arise from different combinations of a single 5'terminal exon …

In vivo, hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is known to be phosphorylated on two sites termed
the regulatory and basal sites. However, the intracellular role of the basal site or the identity …

We investigated the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in ovarian
hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Two similar peaks of permeability activity were seen in …

Cannabinoids, the active constituents of marijuana, are known to impair learning and
memory. Receptors for cannabinoids are highly expressed in the hippocampus, a brain …

Background: Use of outcome measures (OMs) in adult neurologic physical therapy is
essential for monitoring changes in a patient's status over time, quantifying observations and …

Modulation of the size of the readily releasable vesicle pool has recently come under
scrutiny as a candidate for the regulation of synaptic strength. Using electrophysiological …

We report a thorough analysis of neurotransmission in cultured hippocampal neurons
lacking synaptic vesicle protein 2 (SV2), a membrane glycoprotein present in all vesicles …

Non-mammalian vertebrates have a robust ability to regenerate injured retinal neurons from
Müller glia (MG) that activate the gene encoding the proneural factor Achaete-scute …
