on understanding the complexity of central immune cells and peripheral immune cells, and
their cross-talk mechanisms in diverse CNS pathologies. Eleven peer-reviewed manuscripts …

The circumventricular organs (CVOs) are unique areas within the central nervous system.
They serve as a portal for the rest of the body and, as such, lack a blood-brain barrier …

Until recently, microglia were mainly known as the resident phagocytes of the brain, ie the
'immunological warriors' of the brain. However, extensive knowledge is being accumulated …

Pharmacological concentrations of melatonin reduce reperfusion arrhythmias, but less is
known about the antiarrhythmic protection of the physiological circadian rhythm of …

The pineal gland (PG) derives from the neural tube, like the rest of the central nervous
system (CNS). The PG is specialized in synthesizing and secreting melatonin in a circadian …

The sympathetic nervous system has been implicated in various physiological and
pathological processes, including regulation of homeostatic functions, maintenance of the …

In the mammalian pineal gland (PG), cyclic AMP responsive element-binding protein 1
(CREB1) participates in the nocturnal melatonin synthesis that rhythmically modulates …

In the rat pineal gland (PG), cyclic AMP responsive element-binding protein 1 (CREB1)
participates in the nocturnal melatonin synthesis that rhythmically modulates physiology and …

GABA B receptors (GABABRs) are heterodimeric seven-transmembrane receptors that
interact with a range of proteins and form large protein complexes on cholesterol-rich …

Microglia, the innate immune cells of the brain, constitute a highly dynamic cell population
that displays several functions influenced by the light: dark (L: D) cycle. Within the pineal …
