In this review, we have summarized various aspects as to how prenatal protein malnutrition
affects development of the brain and have attempted to integrate several broad principles …

A characteristic of nerve cells is their ability to propagate an action potential and to
communicate through specialized contact zones, called synapses. Synapses have received …

The axonal and dendritic domains of neurons with extensive, locally arborizing axons were
delineated in the dentate gyrus of the rat hippocampus. In horizontally cut slice preparations …

Studies over the last decade have shown that the basal forebrain (BF) consists of more than
its cholinergic neurons. The BF also contains non-cholinergic neurons, including γ …

The basal forebrain-neocortex pathway--involved in higher cognitive processing, selective
attention, and arousal--is considered one of the functionally most important ascending …

The medial septal region and the hippocampus are connected reciprocally via GABAergic
neurons, but the physiological role of this loop is still not well understood. In an attempt to …

The sources of GABAergic innervation to granule cells were studied to establish how the
basic cortical circuit is implemented in the dentate gyrus. Five types of neuron having …

Septo-hippocampal GABAergic neurons immunoreactive for parvalbumin are thought to play
a crucial role in the generation of hippocampal theta oscillations associated with a specific …

The theta rhythm is the largest extracellular synchronous signal that can be recorded from
the mammalian brain and has been strongly implicated in mnemonic processes of the …

The function of the brain depends on highly specific patterns of connections between
populations of neurons. The establishment of these connections requires the targeting of …
