Dendritic spines are small, thin, specialized protrusions from neuronal dendrites, primarily
localized in the excitatory synapses. Sophisticated imaging techniques revealed that …

Dendritic spines are multifunctional integrative units of the nervous system and are highly
diverse and dynamic in nature. Both internal and external stimuli influence dendritic spine …

Dendritic spines are small protrusions from the dendrite membrane, where contact with
neighboring axons is formed in order to receive synaptic input. Changes in size, shape, and …

The brain is the central and most complex organ in the nervous system, comprising billions
of neurons that constantly communicate through trillions of connections called synapses …

Chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment, also known as “chemobrain,” is a common
side effect. The purpose of this study was to examine whether ginsenoside Rg1, a ginseng …

Chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment, often referred to as “chemobrain,” is a
common side effect. In this study, mice received three intraperitoneal injections of a …

The extent of functional maturation and integration of nonproliferative neuronal precursors,
becoming neurons in the adult murine piriform cortex, is largely unexplored. We thus …

Accumulating evidence supports the role of sleep in synaptic plasticity and memory
consolidation. One line of investigation, the synaptic homeostasis hypothesis, has …

The observation and analysis of dendritic spines morphological changes poses a major
challenge in neuroscience studies. The alterations of their density and/or morphology are …
