TL;DR: In this article, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) have been implicated in the late-phase long-term potentiation (L-LTP) process.

TL;DR: Peripapillary NFL thickness, as a total measurement of both macular and peripheral NFL, is still the best surrogate marker in glaucoma assessment and macular NFL thickness was significantly reduced in glAUcoma.

TL;DR: It is suggested that ephrin-A1 promotes EphA4-dependent spine retraction through the activation of Cdk5 and ephexin1, which in turn modulates actin cytoskeletal dynamics.

TL;DR: Evidence is found that stochastic antidromic spikes originating from the STN directly modify the firing probability of the corticofugal projection neurons, destroy the dominance of beta rhythm, and thus restore motor control to the subjects, be they patients or rodents.

TL;DR: In this article, the membrane properties of substantia nigra pars compacta neurones were studied using an in vitro slice preparation of guinea-pig midbrain, and they were divided into two classes based on their electrophysiological properties: bursting neurones displayed a burst of several rapidly accommodating action potentials in response to relaxation of hyperpolarizing current injected through the microelectrode, while non-bursting neurones produced regularly spaced activity potentials.
