In 1906,Dr.Alois Alzheimer reported a case of dementia and thought it was a new type of disease.Later,Dr.Emil Kraepelin named it Alzheimer\'s disease (AD).One hundred years later,AD has become the most common type of dementia affecting the elderly population and a heavy health burden.However,the pathogenesis of the disease remains unclear,and no disease-modifying therapies are available to prevent,halt,or even slow the progression of the disease [1].

Emotional contagion,a primary form of empathy,is present in rodents.Among emotional contagion behaviors,social transmission of fear is the most studied.Here,we modified a paradigm used in previous studies to more robustly assess the social transmission of
Memory deficits with aging are related to the neurodegeneration in the brain,including a reduction in arginine vasopressin (AVP) in the brain of patients with Alzheimer\'s disease (AD).AVP(4-8),different from its precursor AVP,plays memory enhancement r
With the shifting role of placebos,there is a need to develop animal models of placebo analgesia and elucidate the mechanisms underlying the effect.In the present study,male Sprague-Dawley rats with chronic inflammatory pain caused by complete Freund\'s
Ganglion cells (RGCs) are the sole output neurons of the retinal circuity.Here,we investigated whether and how dopamine D2 receptors modulate the excitability of dissociated rat RGCs.Application of the selective D2 receptor agonist quinpirole inhibited ou
Previous studies have suggested that thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) regulates the transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1)/phosphorylated Smad2/3 (pSmad2/3) pathway.Moreover,TSP-1 is closely associated with epilepsy.However,the role of the TSP-1-regulated TGF
α-Synuclein is a soluble monomer abundant in the central nervous system.Aggregates of α-synuclein,consisting of higher-level oligomers and insoluble fibrils,have been observed in many chronic neurological diseases and are implicated in neurotoxicity and n
Scorpion venom heat-resistant peptide (SVHRP) is a component purified from Buthus martensii Karsch scorpion venom.Our previous studies have shown that SVHRP is neuroprotective in models of Alzheimer\'s disease and Parkinson\'s disease.The present stud
Dear Editor,rnSince the middle of December 2019, human-to-human transmission of novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP, also called COVID-19) has occurred among close contacts [1].After the outbreak on January 21, 2020, it was swiftly included among the Class B
Genetic mutants of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are considered to be responsible for the increasing number of epilepsy syndromes.Previous research has indicated that mutations of one of the VGSC genes,SCN9A (Navl.7),result in febrile seizures and
In 1919, Pio del Rio-Hortega first described a class of cells residing in the brain with a tiny soma and branched architecture distinguishable from astrocytes and neurons.These cells, called microglia or mesoglia, have come to be appreciated as resident i
