Chronic ethanol exposure alters the levels, assembly, and cellular organization of the actin cytoskeleton and microtubules in hippocampal neurons in …
2010
The organization and dynamics of microtubules (MTs) and the actin cytoskeleton are critical for the correct development and functions of neurons, including intracellular traffic and signaling. In vitro ethanol exposure impairs endocytosis, exocytosis, and nucleocytoplasmic traffic in astrocytes and alters endocytosis in cultured neurons. In astrocytes, these effects relate to changes in the organization and/or function of MTs and the actin cytoskeleton. To evaluate this possibility in hippocampal cultured neurons, we analyzed if chronic ethanol exposure affects the levels, assembly, and cellular organization of both cytoskeleton elements and the possible underlying mechanisms of these effec…
Sex-specific signatures of intrinsic hippocampal networks and regional integrity underlying cognitive status in multiple sclerosis
2021
Abstract The hippocampus is an anatomically compartmentalized structure embedded in highly wired networks that are essential for cognitive functions. The hippocampal vulnerability has been postulated in acute and chronic neuroinflammation in multiple sclerosis, while the patterns of occurring inflammation, neurodegeneration or compensation have not yet been described. Besides focal damage to hippocampal tissue, network disruption is an important contributor to cognitive decline in multiple sclerosis patients. We postulate sex-specific trajectories in hippocampal network reorganization and regional integrity and address their relationship to markers of neuroinflammation, cognitive/memory per…
Presència virtual de les universitats andaluses
2009
En aquest article exposarem de manera específica les iniciatives portades a terme en les universitats andaluses per fomentar, reforçar i estendre la seva presència virtual a la xarxa. Farem un recorregut pels serveis inculats amb la tecnologia i suport a l'ensenyament, els campus i aules virtuals presents en cadascuna d'aquestes universitats, així com pels esforços realitzats per La xarxa d'Universitats Virtuals Andaluzas per a la creació i desenvolupament del Campus Virtual Andaluz del qual formen part totes les universitats andaluses a través d'una àmplia oferta d'activitats d'ensenyament en línia.
CA3–CA1 long‐term potentiation occurs regardless of respiration and cardiac cycle phases in urethane‐anesthetized rats
2023
Breathing and heartbeat synchronize to each other and to brain function and affect cognition in humans. However, it is not clear how cardiorespiratory rhythms modulate such basic processes as synaptic plasticity thought to underlie learning. Thus, we studied if respiration and cardiac cycle phases at burst stimulation onset affect hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) in the CA3–CA1 synapse in urethane-anesthetized adult male Sprague–Dawley rats. In a between-subjects design, we timed burst stimulation of the ventral hippocampal commissure (vHC) to systole or diastole either during expiration or inspiration and recorded responses throughout the hippocampus with a linear probe. As classic…
Learning styles module as a part of a virtual campus
2016
For several years now, learning style mapping has been carried out for our students of the master's degree education in information technology. To better utilize learning styles in practice, a learning style module was integrated into the multimedia platform used in the education. The learning style module serves both the student and the educator. The goal was to create an application which, in the long run, would diversify the learning environment and make learning more efficient. This study describes the functioning and integration of the learning style application. The deployment of the application is monitored by collecting statistics of its use and feedback of its usability and usefuln…
Il campus come parte di città. Progetti per l’Università di Palermo
2014
La manifestazione dei modi propri per un’Università di rapportarsi con la società si esprime anche attraverso le forme e gli spazi dei suoi luoghi; questi sono sempre luoghi particolari, dove si elaborano i pensieri e si sollecitano coscienze e riflessioni di giovani menti in formazione, e dove è possibile incidere, in maniera estremamente significativa, sull’attivazione dei processi partecipativi e di condivisione nei futuri cittadini. La natura dell’esperienza dell’abitare questi luoghi, in un periodo più o meno lungo della propria vita, segna un passaggio fondamentale nella crescita degli individui che li frequentano e nello sviluppo del loro senso di appartenenza (ad una istituzione, ad…
