Abstract: Peripheral nerve section with subsequent disconnection of motor neuron (MN) cell bodies from their skeletal muscle targets leads to a rapid reactive response involving the recruitment and activation of microglia. In addition, the loss of… read more here.

Abstract: Maternal nutritional programming by caloric exposure during pregnancy and lactation results in long-term behavioral modification in the offspring. Here, we characterized the effect of maternal caloric exposure on synaptic and brain morphological organization and its… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/wnr.0000000000001785
Abstract: Objectives Optogenetics is widely applied to study complex brain networks. However, recent studies have found that light alone can produce effects that are unrelated to optogenetics, and it is still unclear whether this can affect… read more here.
