Analyzing the Gene Expression Network in Developing Hippocampus from the Perspective of NEIL3 Deficiency Background The hippocampus, a crucial region of the brain, is well-regarded for its key roles in memory consolidation, information processing, and emotional regulation. In the field of neuroscience research, the gene regulatory mechanisms of the...
APP/PS1 Mouse Study Reveals Link Between Chronic Induced Epilepsy and Alzheimer’s Disease Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia globally, affecting over 55 million people. The typical pathological feature of AD is the deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain. Although Aβ deposition and the mechanisms it triggers p...
The Regulatory Mechanism of Central Complement C3a Receptor on LPS-Induced Depressive-Like Behavior Introduction With the increasing number of depression patients globally, major depressive disorder (MDD) has become one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. The symptoms, treatment effects, and biological correlations of depression exhibit ...
Research Report on Mixed Selectivity in Monkey Anterior Intraparietal Area During Visual and Motor Processes Background In recent years, the anterior intraparietal area (AIP) has garnered significant interest in the field of neuroscience. AIP is considered a convergence node for multiple visual and somatosensory information, including the physical ...
New Discoveries in Brain Science: The Relationship Between Early Lateralization of Dorsal White Matter Tracts Targeting Broca’s Area and Language Development Research Background Language development is one of the key areas in human cognitive science. Existing research indicates that language functions in the adult brain exhibit significant laterali...
Analysis of the Effect of Central LEAP-2 on Food Intake and Its Impact on Nucleus Accumbens Dopamine Release Background Introduction Gut-brain peptides such as ghrelin and their receptors have been established as important factors in regulating hunger and reward processing. However, the liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (Leap2), an inverse ag...
This academic paper, authored by researchers Elizabeth C. Heaton, Esther H. Seo, Laura M. Butkovich, Sophie T. Yount, and Shannon L. Gourley, primarily explores the role of the melanocortin system in the dorsal striatum in controlling goal-directed behavior and inflexible behavior, particularly in inhibiting habitual behavior in the dorsolateral st...
The Role of Prefrontal-Subthalamic θ Signals in Regulating Delayed Responses in Conflict Processing Background and Research Objectives Conflict processing plays a crucial role in human behavioral regulation. When faced with conflicting information, making an accurate decision requires delaying the response to gain time to choose the appropriate beh...
A Panoramic View of Whole Genome Repetitive Sequences in Cancer and Circulating Free DNA Research Background and Significance Throughout the development of cancer and other diseases, genetic changes in repetitive sequences within the genome are a significant characteristic. However, standard sequencing methods struggle to effectively characterize t...
A Visualization Microdisplay for Neuronal Activity on the Brain Surface Using Electroencephalography Background Introduction Current functional mapping in neurosurgery primarily relies on verbal communication between neurosurgeons and electrophysiologists. These processes are time-consuming and have limited resolution. Additionally, the electrode g...
