1.1. Background During exercise and with exposure to hot climatic conditions, there is
tendency for the human body to store heat and for body temperatures to rise. Changes in …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are a large family of molecular chaperones that are well-known
for their roles in protein maturation, re-folding and degradation. While some Hsps are …

Over the past two decades, evidence has accumulated that neurogenesis can occur in both
the juvenile and adult mammalian hypothalamus. Levels of hypothalamic neurogenesis can …

Investigations of adult neurogenesis in recent years have revealed numerous differences
among mammalian species, reflecting the remarkable diversity in brain anatomy and …

Introduction Intermittent fasting (IF) has been suggested to have neuroprotective effects
through the activation of multiple signaling pathways. Rodents fasted intermittently exhibit …

In adult mammalian brain, two main germinative regions located in the subventricular zone
of the lateral ventricle and in the subgranular cell layer of the hippocampal dentate gyrus …

Two decades after the discovery that neural stem cells (NSCs) populate some regions of the
mammalian central nervous system (CNS), deep knowledge has been accumulated on their …

Heat acclimation is a within‐life phenotypic adaptation to heat. Plasticity of the
thermoregulatory system is crucial for the induction of heat acclimation. In the last two …

Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) are multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs) capable of self-
renewing and differentiating into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. In the …

Changes in gene activity through epigenetic alterations induced by early environmental
challenges during embryogenesis are known to impact the phenotype, health, and disease …
