Neurodegenerative diseases and neuronal disorders cause the loss of specific neuronal subtypes, thus contributing to the clinical changes observed in patients. Neonatal anoxia and temporal lobe epilepsy are important public health problems worldwide, since in addition to the mortality rate, they can cause permanent sequelae, probably related to the imbalance between excitatory and inhibit…
The complexity of the nervous system materializes both in its formation during development and in processes related to neurodegeneration. Relevant factors in both degeneration and development are those related to epigenetic regulation. In fact, epigenetic regulation seems to be important for tissue response in neurodegenerative processes, including the initial inflammatory response. On th…
The complexity of the nervous system is related not only to the activity of individual neurons but to the communication patterns established between them. In addition to well-known chemical synapses, signaling in the nervous system occurs by direct coupling between cells via gap junctions (GJs) channels. These channels allow the passage of molecules up to 1 KDa and are formed by protein s…

The retina is a photosensitive neuroepithelium found in the inner region of the eye and is considered an integral component of the central nervous system (CNS). An imbalance in the physiological conditions or changes in the number of functional photoreceptors can lead to significant visual deficits. One such disease that virtually leads to vision impairment is retinitis pigmentosa (RP). A…
The retina is a crucial central nervous system (CNS) component. It converts light signals into electrochemical information, a process initiated by photoreceptors. An imbalance in the retina's physiological conditions or changes in functional photoreceptor numbers can lead to significant vision loss. A prominent example of vision loss is retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which has thousands of ne…
Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers inflammatory response modulated by the action of receptors, including Toll-like receptors (TLRs). After SCI, the accumulation of damaged-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) activates TLRs throughout MyD88 association with the TLR domain. TLR/MyD88 association leads to NF-ºB translocation to the nucleus, inducing the expression of its target genes. There…
The hippocampus is a well-known structure due to its function in obtaining new memories and spatial navigation. Engagement in specific activities, such as working memory and decision-making, may involve other brain regions, such as the prefrontal cortex. The communication between these two regions allows for proper coordination for carrying out tasks. Interneurons that express parvalbumin…
Temporal lobe epilepsy (ELT) is a neuronal disorder characterized by recurrent and spontaneous seizures that originate from the temporal lobe. The seizures are caused by the heightened neuronal excitability and synchronicity. To understand the phisiophatology of ELT, animal models are indispensable tools. Between them, we can cite the model based on intrahipocampal kainic acid (KA) admini…

Alzheimer's disease (AD), characterized by a progressive decline in cognitivefunction, is the most common form of age-associated neurodegenerative disorder. AD is characterized by two core pathologies, extracellular amyloid-beta (A²) plaques and aggregated tau protein forming intra-neuronal neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), culminating in a reduction in synaptic strength, synaptic loss, and …
Abnormalities in feeding behaviors are a key symptom of several conditions, including binge eating disorder, anorexia and obesity. In order to develop novel treatments, it is imperative to gain a deeper understanding of the circuits controlling adaptive feeding. Eating is affected by metabolic and hedonic features, consisting of several actions, including exploratory food-seeking and cons…
Complexity is a concept that permeates several knowledge areas, as social, biological, or physical. The concept has been employed to describe physiological processes, in which researchers claim that it is the phenomenon responsible for allowing living beings to adapt to disturbances and preserve their homeostasis. The human brain is a prominent example of a complex system, which is highly…
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a traumatic neurologic disorder that induces the disruption of neuronal communication between the central nervous system (CNS) and the rest of the body. After the primary injury, often caused by mechanical trauma, the condition aggravates due to secondary damages including local tissue inflammation. Nowadays, it is already known that epigenetic-related processe…
