Hippocampal slices from kindled rats show an increased sensitivity for induction of epileptiform activity by changes in extracellular ion concentrations.

abstract：:Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been proposed as a key regulator and mediator of long-term synaptic modifications related to learning and memory maintenance. Our previous studies show that application of high-frequency stimulation (HFS) sufficient to elicit LTP at the dentate gyrus (DG)-CA3 pathway produc...

The actions of IGF-I are mediated by IGF-I receptors and modulated by IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs). The aim of this study was to investigate IGF-I receptors and IGFBPs in human microglia in normal brain white matt...
