research Androgen Affects the Inhibitory Avoidance Memory by Primarily Acting on Androgen Receptor in the Brain in Adolescent Male Rats
Androgens improve memory in adolescent male rats by acting on brain receptors.
research Ethanol-induced GABAA receptor alpha4 subunit plasticity involves phosphorylation and neuroactive steroids
Chronic ethanol increases certain brain receptor levels, influenced by steroids and protein changes.
research Activation of extrasynaptic δ-GABAA receptors globally or within the posterior-VTA has estrous-dependent effects on consumption of alcohol and estrous-independent effects on locomotion
δ-GABAA receptors affect alcohol consumption based on the estrous cycle and influence movement regardless of the cycle.
research eLife assessment: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve connection to touch receptors in certain skin areas of mice.
research Author Response: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
