Target cell-specific plasticity rules of NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission in the hippocampus
(Frontiers Media, 2023-04)
Long-term potentiation and depression of NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission (NMDAR LTP/LTD) can significantly impact synapse function and information transfer in several brain areas. However, the mechanisms that ...
Exploring microglial targets in experimental multiple sclerosis
(2022-06-30)
La esclerosis múltiple (EM) es una enfermedad crónica e inflamatoria del sistema nervioso central, que provoca desmielinización y degeneración axonal. Por su parte, la microglía es la célula inmune residente en el sistema ...

The Long-Term Neuroprotective Effect of the Endocannabinoid 2-AG and Modulation of the SGZ’s Neurogenic Response after Neonatal Hypoxia-Ischemia
(MDPI, 2023-06-07)
Neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) often causes hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), a neurological condition that can lead to overall disability in newborns. The only treatment available for affected neonates is therapeutic ...
Alterations of Oligodendrocyte and Myelin Energy Metabolism in Multiple Sclerosis
(MDPI, 2023-08-18)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by demyelination and neurodegeneration. Oligodendrocytes play a vital role in maintaining the integrity of myelin, ...
Multimodal imaging of the role of hyperglycemia after experimental aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage
(2023-06-20)
Esta tesis doctoral se ha centrado en el estudio del efecto de la hiperglicemia en un modelo animal de hemorragia subaracnoidea aneurismática mediante técnicas de tomografía por emisión de positrones (PET) y resonancia ...
The role of the brain extracellular space in diffusion and cell signalling
(2023-06-22)
The extracellular space (ECS) is a highly complex space consisting of narrow interconnected channels and reservoirs. The ECS substructures are usually few nanometers wide and consequently, they are very difficult to ...
The Role of Premorbid IQ and Age of Onset as Useful Predictors of Clinical, Functional Outcomes, and Recovery of Individuals with a First Episode of Psychosis
(MDPI, 2021-06-02)
Background: premorbid IQ (pIQ) and age of onset are predictors of clinical severity and long-term functioning after a first episode of psychosis. However, the additive influence of these variables on clinical, functional, ...
