Astrocytes play a pivotal role in maintaining the central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis
and function. In response to CNS injuries and diseases, reactive astrocytes are triggered. By …

Classically, hypothalamic neuroendocrine cells that synthesise oxytocin and vasopressin
were categorised in two major cell types: the magnocellular and parvocellular neurones. It …

Oxytocin (OT) is a great facilitator of social life but, although its effects on socially relevant
brain regions have been extensively studied, OT neuron activity during actual social …

Oxytocin (OT) orchestrates social and emotional behaviors through modulation of neural
circuits. In the central amygdala, the release of OT modulates inhibitory circuits and, thereby …

Evidence from experimental and clinical studies implicates immuno-inflammatory responses
as playing an important role in epilepsy-induced brain injury. Captopril, an angiotensin …

Myocardial infarction (MI) occurs when coronary blood flow is decreased due to an
obstruction/occlusion of the vessels, leading to myocardial death and progression to heart …

Microglia, the main immune modulators of the central nervous system, have key roles in both
the developing and adult brain. These functions include shaping healthy neuronal networks …

Oxytocin-expressing paraventricular hypothalamic neurons (PVN OT neurons) integrate
afferent signals from the gut, including cholecystokinin (CCK), to adjust whole-body energy …

Neurovascular coupling (NVC), the process that links neuronal activity to cerebral blood flow
changes, has been mainly studied in superficial brain areas, namely the neocortex. Whether …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder that impacts a
substantial number of individuals globally. Despite its widespread prevalence, there is …
