The function of the HPA axis is subject to regulation by many factors, which achieve relevance under normal and pathological conditions. In the case of aging, this period of life is associated with disturbances of the HP...

Population coding is the quantitative study of which algorithms or representations are used by the brain to combine together and evaluate the messages carried by different neurons. Here, we review an information-theory b...

Microglia–neuron interaction is a complex process involving a plethora of ligands and receptors. The outcome of this intricate process will depend on the prevailing signals (i.e., whether the microglial cells will prod...

Amacrine cells are a heterogeneous class of interneurons that modulate the transfer of the light signals through the retina. The cholinergic system present in these neurons is involved in such modulation. However, the ch...

The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in neurons is associated to neurological and neurodegenerative disorders. α7 is also expressed in glial and immune cells, where it plays a role in neuroprotection and inflammatio...
