... Another neuropeptide involved in the central mechanisms underlying the stress response is arginine vasopressin (AVP). AVP is colocalized with CRH in parvocellular neurons of the PVN (16 –18), and further major populations of AVP neurons are found resident within the magnocellular PVN and supraoptic ...

... demonstrated that these neurons are constantly bombarded by GABAergic IPSPs. Indeed, it has been suggested that up to 50% of the midbrain DA neurons are quiescent due to GABAergic-mediated hyperpolarization. Moreover, these IPSPs are not observed in vitro, suggesting a prominent and tonically active ...

Circadian Plasticity of Mammalian Inhibitory Interneurons

... Many aspects of mammalian behavior and physiology show circadian rhythmicity. The circadian rhythms, with a period about a day (circa, around and dies, day), are generated by the central clock or pacemaker that in mammals is located in suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus. Under day/nigh ...

... Moving to dopaminergic neurons, an increased rate of refilling of the readily releasable pool has been reported in mice lacking α-synuclein [52]. This result is in line with an increase in recovery from paired-pulse depression (PPD) that has been reported in striatal slices in one study [44], althou ...

Aging brain

Age is a major risk factor for most common neurodegenerative diseases, including Mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, cerebrovascular disease, Parkinson's disease and Lou Gehrig's disease. While much research has focused on diseases of aging, there are few informative studies on the molecular biology of the aging brain (usually spelled ageing brain in British English) in the absence of neurodegenerative disease or the neuropsychological profile of healthy older adults. However, research does suggest that the aging process is associated with several structural, chemical, and functional changes in the brain as well as a host of neurocognitive changes. Recent reports in model organisms suggest that as organisms age, there are distinct changes in the expression of genes at the single neuron level. This page is devoted to reviewing the changes associated with healthy aging.
