Estrogens play important roles in the brain, acting through two receptor types, ER␣ and ER, both recognized as transcription factors. In this study, we investigated the ER mRNA and protein expression in the male and female rat brain, focusing on the hippocampus, and comparing with well-known ER␣ e

## Abstract Extracellular matrix molecules are involved in the cellular functions of proliferation, migration, morphological differentiation, and synaptic plasticity. One candidate molecule of the extracellular matrix is the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan neurocan. To determine whether neurocan e
A rat p-nerve growth factor (NGF) genomic sequence encoding the entire 3' exon of preproNGF was cloned, and its nucleotide sequence was determined. Rat NGF shows very high homology with other known NGFs in both the prepropeptide and the 3' untranslated regions. The presumptive signal sequence, the c
## Abstract Recent evidence showed that epileptic seizures increase hippocampal neurogenesis in the adult rat, but prolonged seizures result in the aberrant hippocampal neurogenesis that often leads to a recurrent excitatory circuitry and thus contributes to epileptogenesis. However, the mechanism
Estrogen regulates the synaptic plasticity and physiology of the hippocampus as well as learning behaviors that are mediated by the hippocampus.

## Abstract The present in vitro autoradiography study demonstrates that prenatal exposure to morphine alters the density of μ‐opioid receptors in the hippocampus of adult female but not adult male rats. Prenatal morphine exposure increased the μ‐opioid receptor density in the CA1 of ovariectomized
