Accumulation of NMDA Receptors in Accumbal Neuronal Ensembles Mediates Increased Conditioned Place Preference for Cocaine After Prolonged Withdrawal

Study Reveals Molecular Mechanisms of Enhanced Cocaine Craving in Rats During Withdrawal Background Introduction The issue of relapse in drug abuse poses a significant challenge in addiction treatment. According to related research, relapse behaviors in drug addiction are often triggered by environmental cues associated with drug use. This phenomen...

Contralateral Delay Activity and Alpha Lateralization Reflect Retinotopic and Screen-Centered Reference Frames in Visual Memory

Contralateral Delay Activity and Alpha Lateralization Reflect Retinotopic and Screen-Centered Reference Frames in Visual Memory

Academic Report on “Contralateral Delay Activity and Alpha Lateralization Reflect Retinotopic and Screen-Centered Reference Frames in Visual Memory” Introduction The visual system is organized in a lateralized manner, with the left and right visual fields processed by the contralateral cerebral cortex. This organization applies not only to percepti...

Signal Peptide Peptidase-Like 2B Modulates the Amyloidogenic Pathway and Exhibits an Aβ-Dependent Expression in Alzheimer’s Disease

New Findings in Alzheimer’s Disease Research: The Regulatory Role of Signal Peptide Peptidase-Like 2b in the β-Amyloid Cascade Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the abnormal accumulation of β-amyloid peptides (Aβ) in brain tissue and the formation of intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. The abnormal...
