Publicacions en accés obert derivades de l'activitat investigadora del professorat de la Universitat de Barcelona.
In addition to neuronal migration, brain development, and adult plasticity, the extracellular matrix protein Reelin has been extensively implicated in human psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, ...
Microglia, the main resident immune cells in the central nervous system, are implicated in the pathogenesis of various neurological disorders. Much of our knowledge on microglial biology was obtained using rodent microglial ...
Background: New fluid biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) that reveal synaptic and neural network dysfunctions are needed for clinical practice and therapeutic trial design. Dense core vesicle (DCV) cargos are promising ...
Heavy and daily use of cannabis with high contents of Delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) during adolescence is associated with an increased risk of developing psychotic disorders later in life. Here, we treated mice with ...
Background: Mental disorders affect nearly 970 million people worldwide, impacting individuals and healthcare systems. Large population databases offer insights often unattainable in smaller studies, but their findings may ...
Los seres humanos, al igual que otros sistemas cognitivos, somos sensibles al entorno. Utilizamos información sensorial para guiar nuestro comportamiento. Para ser en el mundo.
Brain dynamics have recently been shown to be modulated by rhythmic changes in female sex hormone concentrations across an entire menstrual cycle. However, many questions remain regarding the specific differences in ...
ε-Toxin is a pore forming toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens types B and D. It is synthesized as a less active prototoxin form that becomes fully active upon proteolytic activation. The toxin produces highly lethal ...
Impaired brain clearance mechanisms may result in the accumulation of aberrant proteins that define Alzheimer's disease (AD). The water channel protein astrocytic aquaporin 4 (AQP4) is essential for brain amyloid-beta ...
The clinical diagnosis of vascular dementia (VaD) is based on imaging criteria, and specific biochemical markers are not available. Here, we investigated the potential of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lipocalin 2 (LCN2), a ...
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder primarily caused by loss-of-function mutations in the MECP2 gene, resulting in diverse cellular dysfunctions. Here, we investigated the role of the long noncoding ...
Brain imaging methods have contributed to shed light on the mechanisms of recovery after early brain insult. The assumption that the unaffected right hemisphere can take over language functions after left perinatal stroke ...
Aim: To delineate the neurogenetic profiles of brain degeneration patterns in myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1). Methods: In two cohorts of DM1 patients, brain maps of volume loss (VL) and neuropsychological deficits (NDs) ...
Incentives can decrease performance by undermining intrinsic motivation. How such an interplay of external reinforcers and internal self-regulation influences memory processes, however, is less known. Here, we investigated ...
Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) is an X-linked epigenetic modulator whose dosage is critical for neural development and function. Loss-of-function mutations in MECP2 cause Rett Syndrome (RTT, OMIM #312750) while ...
Background: Several biophysical techniques have been successfully implemented to detect G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) heteromerization. Although these approaches have made it possible to ascertain the presence of ...
Adenosine A(2A) receptor (A(2A)R)-dependent signaling in macrophages plays a key role in the regulation of inflammation. However, the processes regulating A(2A)R targeting to the cell surface and degradation in macrophages ...
Listening to pleasant music engages a complex distributed network including pivotal areas for auditory, reward, emotional and memory processing. On the other hand, frontal theta rhythms appear to be relevant in the process ...
Self-concept stability and cohesion are crucial for psychological functioning and well-being, yet the mechanisms that underpin this fundamental aspect of human cognition remain underexplored. Integrating insights from ...
Many patients suffering late-onset Alzheimer disease show a deficit in respiratory complex IV activity. The de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway connects with the mitochondrial respiratory chain upstream from respiratory ...
