A rapidly growing body of literature indicates that adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus is
sensitive to a variety of environmental factors. The effects of emotionally salient experiences …

In the brain, long-term memories correspond to changes in synaptic weights after certain
patterns of neural activity. Behaviourally, this corresponds to a change in action evoked by a …

The present brief review highlights the putative role of the serum‐and glucocorticoid‐
inducible‐kinase‐1 (SGK1) in the regulation of neuronal function. SGK1 is genomically …

Cocaine-and amphetamine-regulated transcript peptide (CART) with its wide distribution in
the brain of mammals has been the focus of considerable research in recent years. Last two …

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior thalamic nucleus (AN), an important relay in the
circuitry of memory, is currently being proposed as a treatment for epilepsy. Despite the …

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established, in selected cases therapeutically effective,
non-lesional treatment method delivering current rectangular pulses into dysfunctional brain …

Disorders of learning and memory have a large social and economic impact in today's
society. Unfortunately, existing medical treatments have shown limited clinical efficacy or …

Anatomically, the brain is a symmetric structure. However, growing evidence suggests that
certain higher brain functions are regulated by only one of the otherwise duplicated (and …

Modern neuroscience is progressively elucidating that the classic view positing distinct brain
regions responsible for survival, emotion, and cognitive functions is outdated. The …

We characterize the effects of sleep deprivation on sleep–wake behavior, neurogenesis and
stress in adult zebrafish, and describe light-induced changes in gene expression. Sleep …
