The molecular and cellular mechanisms by which plasticity is induced in the mature CNS
(and, specifically, in the hippocampus) by environmental input are progressively being …

Mature protoplasmic astrocytes exhibit an extremely dense ramification of fine processes,
yielding a 'spongiform'morphology. This complex morphology enables protoplasmic …

Deltamethrin (DLM) is a Type II pyrethroid pesticide widely used in agriculture, homes,
