Chemogenetic model of acute temporal lobe-like seizures in the area tempestas
The piriform cortex was identified as a crucial ictogenic trigger zone in the 1980s. Surgical outcome studies in humans likewise suggest that this region contributes to seizure generation. Within the …

Irisin upregulation as a contributory mechanism for the therapeutic benefits of SGLT-2 inhibitors
Different pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions have been suggested for the management of blood glucose, among which are sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and exercise…

Sex-specific effects of exercise on motor coordination and extended basal ganglia physiology
Exercise broadly affects the basal ganglia, brain structures involved in motor coordination. Exercise-induced changes in these regions can improve pathological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease a…
