## Abstract Brainβderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) acutely modulates the efficacy of central glutamatergic synapses via activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase TrkB. On a longer time scale, recent evidence suggests an additional role of TrkB signaling in the formation of excitatory synaptic co

In central neurons, dendritic differentiation begins well after axonal elongation and is accompanied by the compartmentation of the microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) in the somatodendritic domain. Whether MAP2 plays a role in the morphological and functional maturation of dendrites remains an
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is known to be widely expressed in neuronal cells, and enriched in the central and peripheral synaptic sites. Although it has been proposed that APP functions in synaptogenesis, no direct evidence has yet been reported. In this study we investigated the involvement of
A complete and selective destruction of the basal forebrain cholinergic neurons projecting to the cerebral cortex and the hippocampus was induced in the rat by the toxin 192 IgG-saporin. Using electrophysiologic techniques, we have investigated the consequences of this cholinergic denervation on inh
## Abstract All five subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR; M~1~βM~5~) are expressed in the hippocampus, where they are involved both in cognitive functions and in synaptic plasticity, such as longβterm potentiation (LTP). Muscarinic toxins (MTs) are small proteins from mamba snake
## Abstract Delayed neuronal cell death occurs in the vulnerable CA1 subfield of the hippocampus after transient global ischemia (TGI). We demonstrated previously, based on an experimental model of TGI, that the significantly increased content of oxidized proteins in hippocampal CA1 neuron was obse
