Microglia development and function(PubMed) Author : Debasis Nayak 1, Theodore L Roth, Dorian B McGavern Abstract : Proper development and function of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) depend critically on the activity of parenchymal sentinels referred to as microglia. Although microglia were first described as ramified brain-resident phagocytes, research…

GABA metabolism and transport: effects on synaptic efficacy(PubMed) Author : Fabian C Roth 1, Andreas Draguhn Abstract : GABAergic inhibition is an important regulator of excitability in neuronal networks. In addition, inhibitory synaptic signals contribute crucially to the organization of spatiotemporal patterns of network activity, especially during coherent oscillations. In…

On thermal false vacuum decay around black holes(arXiv) Author : Vadim Briaud, Andrey Shkerin, Sergey Sibiryakov Abstract : n flat space and at finite temperature, there are two regimes of false vacuum decay in quantum field theory. At low temperature, the decay proceeds through thermally-assisted tunneling described by periodic Euclidean…
