Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were used for the adsorption of phenol, 2-chlorophenol (2-CP),
4-chlorophenol (4-CP), 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP), 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP), 4-…

Advances in fluorescent calcium indicating dyes over the past decade have identified
calcium signaling as the tool by which astrocytes communicate among themselves and with …

Prolonged exposure to drugs of abuse, such as cannabinoids and opioids, leads to
pharmacological tolerance and receptor desensitization in the nervous system. We found that a …

Secondary injury exacerbates the extent of spinal cord insults, yet the mechanistic basis of
this phenomenon has largely been unexplored. Here we report that broad regions of the …

Bamboo-based activated carbon was prepared with a microwave-induced activation
process using phosphoric acid as the activating agent. The effects of various factors such as …

Alzheimer's disease produces a devastating decline in mental function, with profound effects
on learning and memory. Early consequences of the disease include the specific loss of …

The mechanisms subserving the ability of glucocorticoid signaling within the medial
prefrontal cortex (mPFC) to terminate stress-induced activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–…

Drugs of abuse are known to cause persistent modification of neural circuits, leading to
addictive behaviours 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 . Changes in synaptic plasticity in dopamine neurons of the …

Modification of bamboo-based activated carbon was carried out in a microwave oven under
N 2 atmosphere. The virgin and modified activated carbons were characterized by means of …

Exogenous kainate receptor agonists have been shown to modulate inhibitory synaptic
transmission in the hippocampus, but the pathways involved in physiological activation of the …
