abstract：:Hippocampal atrophy and neuron loss are commonly found in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms and the fate in the AD hippocampus of subpopulations of interneurons that express the calcium-binding proteins parvalbumin (PV) and calretinin (CR) has not yet been properly assessed. Using ...

In this review paper, we focus on structural imaging studies of language that have utilised ...

abstract：:Neuronatomical and pharmacological studies have established GABA-mediated inhibition of the HPA axis at the level of the PVN. The origin of this innervation is a series of local hypothalamic and adjacent forebrain regions that project to stress-integrative hypophysiotropic CRH neurons. While a role in tonic inhibition...
