In the taxonomy of memory, which situation or subdivision is related to the spatial memory? Is it necessary to create a new subdivision or not?

In 1987, Squier proposed a taxonomy of memory for the first time and upgrade it in 2004. furthermore in 2010, Michaelian modified it and proposed a new taxonomy for it. But Spatial memory is not...

Why is the tripartite synapse word used commonly in neuroscience ( or neuroglia science)?

there are many types of interneuron especially in dentate gyrus. On the other hand astrocyte and pre and postsynaptic neurons are also existence. I think there is a relationship between all of...

What are the mechanisms for secretion of different gliotransmitters such as glutamate, GABA, and ATP by astrocytes?

Receptors for all major neurotransmitters seem to be present on the astrocytic plasma membrane (Volterra and Meldolesi,2005), and activation of these receptors (because of neural activities) leads...

what kind of adenosine receptor (A2A , A1) is activated in responding to the secretion of ATP by astrocyte?

ATP released from astrocytes is degraded to adenosine and activates presynaptic adenosine A2 or A1 receptors that leads to an increase or decrease in its release probability (Panatier et al. ,...

What is the effect of increasing AMPA receptors on the post synaptic neuron caused by TNF alpha, on astrocytes function in a hippocampal area?

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) promotes synaptic scaling and gliotransmission at glutamatergic synapses via complementary post and presynaptic actions (Santello 2012). increasing AMPA...

How can I implicate two sets of differential equations with different time scaling simultaneously (second and millisecond) in Matlab R2013a simulink?

We have two sets of differential equations for neuron dynamics and astrocyte Ca2+ oscillations but with different time scales (Di Garbo 2009). Is it correct that for simulation of these sets...

What is the range of TNF alpha concentration in normal and pathological states in hippocampus regions, and which is the best for learning?

TNF alpha concentration, its duration, and the activated mechanism can produce opposite effects, both protective or noxious. (Montgomery 2012)
