Increased physical activity is not enough to recover astrocytic population from dark-rearing. Synergy with multisensory enrichment is required
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2013-10-04)
Elimination of sensory inputs (deprivation) modifies the properties of the sensory cortex and serves as a model for studying plasticity during postnatal development. Many studies on the effects of deprivation have been ...
CGP37157, an inhibitor of the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, protects neurons from excitotoxicity by blocking voltage-gated Ca2+ channels
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-04)
Inhibition of the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCLX) by CGP37157 is protective in models of neuronal injury that involve disruption of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. However, the Ca2+ signaling pathways and stores ...
Validation of a Spanish version of the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR)
(Biomed Central, 2013)
[EN]The Revised version of the Fibromyalgia
Background
The Revised version of the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) was published in 2009. The aim of this study was to prepare a Spanish version, and to assess its ...
Impact of depressive symptoms on subjective well-being: the importance of patient-reported outcomes in schizophrenia
(Dove Medical Press, 2011)
Objective: The subjective experience of psychotic patients toward treatment is a key factor in medication adherence, quality of life, and clinical outcome. The aim of this study was to assess the subjective well-being in ...
Role of Antioxidants in Neonatal Hypoxic–Ischemic Brain Injury: New Therapeutic Approaches
(MDPI, 2017-02)
Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage is an alarming health and economic problem in spite of the advances in neonatal care. It can cause mortality or detrimental neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy, motor impairment and ...
The Link of Inflammation and Neurodegeneration in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
(Biomed Central, 2016-05-24)
Progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized clinically by the accumulation of neurological disability without
unequivocal recovery. Understanding the mechanisms that determine entering in this stage of the disease ...
A beta oligomers promote oligodendrocyte differentiation and maturation via integrin beta 1 and Fyn kinase signaling
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-06-06)
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a progressive cognitive decline that correlates with the levels of amyloid beta-peptide (A beta) oligomers. Strong evidences connect changes of oligodendrocyte function with the ...
Pio del Rio Hortega and the discovery of the oligodendrocytes
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-07-07)
Rio del Rio Hortega (1882-1945) discovered microglia and oligodendrocytes (OLGs), and after Ramon y Cajal, was the most prominent figure of the Spanish school of neurology. He began his scientific career with Nicolas ...
Increased antiparkinson efficacy of the combined administration of VEGF- and GDNF-loaded nanospheres in a partial lesion model of Parkinson's disease
(Dove Medical Press, 2014)
Current research efforts are focused on the application of growth factors, such as glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as neuroregenerative approaches that will ...
Contribution of Pannexin1 to Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
(Public Library of Science, 2013-06)
Pannexin1 (Panx1) is a plasma membrane channel permeable to relatively large molecules, such as ATP. In the central nervous system (CNS) Panx1 is found in neurons and glia and in the immune system in macrophages and T-cells. ...
