Enrico Tongiorgi, Massimo Righi, and Antonino Cattaneo International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), Neuroscience Program, 34014 Trieste, Italy. The mechanisms underlying the subcellular localization of neurotrophins and their receptors are poorly understood. We show that in cultured hippocampal neurons, the mRNAs for BDNF and TrkB have a somatodendritic localization, and we quantify the extent of …
Niraj S. Desai, Lana C. Rutherford and Gina G. Turrigiano; Department of Biology and Center for Complex Systems, Brandeis University, 415 South Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02454-9110, USA During learning and development, the level of synaptic input received by cortical neurons may change dramatically. Given a limited range of possible firing rates, how do neurons maintain …
S, Goldman-Rakic, Section of Neurobiology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06510 In the presence of normal sensory and motor capacity, intelligent behavior is widely acknowledged to develop from the interaction of short- and long-term memory. While the behavioral, cellular, and molecular underpinnings of the long-term memory process have long been associated with …

Efstathios Garoflos†, Theofanis Panagiotaropoulos†, Stavroula Pondiki†, Antonios Stamatakis†, Eleni Philippidis and Fotini Stylianopoulou* Abstract In the present study we investigated the effects of neonatal handling, an animal model of early experience, on spatial learning and memory, on hippocampal glucocorticoid (GR), mineralocorticoid (MR) and type 1A serotonin (5-HT1A) receptors, as well as brain derived neurotrophic factor …
Arne O¨ hman Psychology Section, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute and Hospital, 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden Summary Behavioral data suggest that fear stimuli automatically activate fear and capture attention. This effect is likely to be mediated by a subcortical brain network centered on the amygdala. Consistent with this view, brain imaging studies show that …

Ronald Melzack, Ph.D. Abstract The neuromatrix theory of pain proposes that pain is a multidimensional experience produced by characteristic “neurosignature” patterns of nerve impulses generated by a widely distributed neural network—the “body-self neuromatrix”—in the brain. These neurosignature patterns may be triggered by sensory inputs, but they may also be generated independently of them. Acute pains …
