Influence of clinical and neurocognitive factors in psychosocial functioning after a first episode non-affective psychosis: Differences between males and females
(Frontiers Media, 2022-10)
BackgroundDeficits in psychosocial functioning are present in the early stages of psychosis. Several factors, such as premorbid adjustment, neurocognitive performance, and cognitive reserve (CR), potentially influence ...
Microglial Phagocytosis Dysfunction in the Dentate Gyrus is Related to Local Neuronal Activity in a Genetic Model of Epilepsy
(Wiley, 2020-11)
Objective Microglial phagocytosis of apoptotic cells is an essential component of the brain regenerative response during neurodegeneration. Whereas it is very efficient in physiological conditions, it is impaired in mouse ...
Microglial Corpse Clearance: Lessons From Macrophages
(Frontiers Media, 2020-03-27)
From development to aging and disease, the brain parenchyma is under the constant threat of debris accumulation, in the form of dead cells and protein aggregates. To prevent garbage buildup, the brain is equipped with ...
A Clonal NG2-Glia Cell Response in a Mouse Model of Multiple Sclerosis
(MDPI, 2020-05-21)
NG2-glia, also known as oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), have the potential to generate new mature oligodendrocytes and thus, to contribute to tissue repair in demyelinating diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS). ...
Targeting the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System in Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy With CAPN3 Mutations
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
[EN] LGMDR1 is caused by mutations in the CAPN3 gene that encodes calpain 3 (CAPN3), a non-lysosomal cysteine protease necessary for proper muscle function. Our previous findings show that CAPN3 deficiency leads to reduced ...
The Effect of 5-HT1A Receptor Agonists on the Entopeduncular Nucleus is Modified in 6-Hydroxydopamine-Lesioned Rats
(Wiley, 2021-06)
Background and Purpose l-DOPA prolonged treatment leads to disabling motor complications as dyskinesia that could be decreased by drugs acting on 5-HT1A receptors. Since the internal segment of the globus pallidus, homologous ...
Dopaminergic Denervation Impairs Cortical Motor and Associative/Limbic Information Processing Through the Basal Ganglia and its Modulation by the CB1 Receptor
(Academic Press, 2021-01)
The basal ganglia (BG) are involved in cognitive/motivational functions in addition to movement control. Thus, BG segregated circuits, the sensorimotor (SM) and medial prefrontal (mPF) circuits, process different functional ...
A Genotyping Method Combining Primer Competition PCR with HRM Analysis to Identify Point Mutations in Duchenne Animal Models
(Nature, 2020-10-14)
Dystrophin-null sapje zebrafish is an excellent model for better understanding the pathological mechanisms underlying Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and it has recently arisen as a powerful tool for high-throughput screening ...
Communicative and Social Skills among Medical Students in Spain: A Descriptive Analysis
(MDPI, 2020-02-21)
Effective risk communication in public health requires the development of social skills such as active listening and empathy. Communicative and social skills were evaluated in third-year medical students (<i>n</i> = 917) ...
Changes in Day/Night Activity in the 6-OHDA-Induced Experimental Model of Parkinson’s Disease: Exploring Prodromal Biomarkers
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-14)
The search for experimental models mimicking an early stage of Parkinson's disease (PD) before motor manifestations is fundamental in order to explore early signs and get a better prognosis. Interestingly, our previous ...
