AI SummaryThe content discusses the balance in the brain between stability and flexibility, focusing on individual neurons and synapses in the sensory cortex. Pyramidal neurons have both stable and flexible synapses, with some synapses losing their flexibility by adulthood. The study reveals that stable synapses in a specific region of these neurons have unique properties… Continue reading Finding some stability in adaptable brains

[ASAP] Saroglitazar Enhances Memory Functions and Adult Neurogenesis via Up-Regulation of Wnt/β Catenin Signaling in the Rat Model of Dementia
AI SummaryThis study investigates the effects of the drug saroglitazar on memory functions and adult neurogenesis in a rat model of dementia. The findings suggest that saroglitazar enhances these functions through the up-regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. This research could have implications for the development of new treatments for dementia and cognitive decline.

Musicianship and Prominence of Interhemispheric Connectivity Determine Two Different Pathways to Atypical Language Dominance
AI SummaryThis study explores how musicianship and the prominence of interhemispheric connectivity influence two different pathways to atypical language dominance. It shows that left-handers with atypical language lateralization have enhanced interhemispheric connectivity and rightward participation of language areas. Nonmusicians with atypical lateralization show underdevelopment in the anterior arcuate fasciculus, while musicians show interhemispheric overdevelopment in… Continue reading Musicianship and Prominence of Interhemispheric Connectivity Determine Two Different Pathways to Atypical Language Dominance
ELP1, the Gene Mutated in Familial Dysautonomia, Is Required for Normal Enteric Nervous System Development and Maintenance and for Gut Epithelium Homeostasis
AI SummaryThis article discusses the role of the ELP1 gene in familial dysautonomia (FD) and its impact on the enteric nervous system (ENS) and gut epithelium. It states that ELP1 is essential for the normal development and maintenance of the ENS and for gut epithelium homeostasis. The study found that FD patients and mouse models… Continue reading ELP1, the Gene Mutated in Familial Dysautonomia, Is Required for Normal Enteric Nervous System Development and Maintenance and for Gut Epithelium Homeostasis
