Proteomic analysis uncovers novel actions of the neurosecretory protein VGF in nociceptive processing.

19 Oct 2009 Peripheral tissue injury is associated with changes in protein expression in sensory neurons that may contribute to abnormal nociceptive processing. We used cultured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons as a model of axotomized neurons to investigate ... Read more...

Fast synaptic subcortical control of hippocampal circuits.

14 Oct 2009 Cortical information processing is under state-dependent control of subcortical neuromodulatory systems. Although this modulatory effect is thought to be mediated mainly by slow nonsynaptic metabotropic receptors, other mechanisms, such as direct ... Read more...

Convergence of cranial visceral afferents within the solitary tract nucleus.

12 Oct 2009 Primary afferent axons within the solitary tract (ST) relay homeostatic information via glutamatergic synapses directly to second-order neurons within the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS). These primary afferents arise from multiple organ systems ... Read more...
