Serotonin and Memory
(2016)
The study of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) systems has benefited from the identification, classification and cloning of multiple 5-HT receptors (5-HT1 to 5-HT7). Increasing evidence suggests that 5-HT pathways, reuptake ...
Roles and mechanisms of parasitism in aquatic microbial communities
(2015)
Next Generation Sequencing technologies are increasingly revealing that microbial taxa likely to be parasites or symbionts are probably much more prevalent and diverse than previously thought. Every well studied free-living ...
The Roles of GnIH in Reproductive Function and Behavior
(2018)
Since the discovery of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) at the beginning of 1970s, it has been believed that GnRH is the only hypothalamic neuropeptide that regulates gonadotropin release in vertebrates. In 2000, ...
The Safety and Efficacy of Noninvasive Brain Stimulation in Development and Neurodevelopmental Disorders
(2015)
Noninvasive brain stimulation (including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Transcranial Current Brain Stimulation (TCS)) can be used both experimentally and therapeutically. In the experimental domain TMS can be ...
Safety Pharmacology - Risk Assessment QT Interval Prolongation and Beyond
(2018)
Current regulatory guidelines for cardiac safety utilize hERG block and QT interval prolongation as risk markers. This strategy has been successful at preventing harmful drugs from being marketed, but criticized for leading ...
Salinity Tolerance in Plants: Mechanisms and Regulation of Ion Transport
(2018)
Life presumably arose in the primeval oceans with similar or even greater salinity than the present ocean, so the ancient cells were designed to withstand salinity. However, the immediate ancestors of land plants most ...
Salicylic Acid Signaling Networks
(2016)
The small phenolic compound salicylic acid (SA) is critical for plant defense against a broad spectrum of pathogens. SA is also involved in multi-layered defense responses, from pathogen-associated molecular pattern triggered ...
Single Membrane Channels Formed by Connexins or Pannexins: Focus on the Nervous System
(2016)
Given that the extremely elaborated and dynamic functions performed by the nervous system require the close synchronization of brain cells, complex organisms have developed different mechanisms of intercellular communication. ...
Social Cognition, Motivation, and Interaction How Do People Respond to Threats in Social Interactions?
(2018)
f we want to understand people’s responses to threats in social interactions we can distinguish between three levels of analysis:On a social level of analysis we can describe people’s interpersonal behavior, on a cognitive ...
Stem Cell Genetic Fidelity
(2015)
The vision of this Frontiers in Oncology Research Topic on "Stem Cell Genetic Fidelity" had the goal of steeping a diverse range of research perspectives to a first comprehensive synthesis of thought on the questions of ...
