SYNAPTIC PROCESSES IN PERIAQUEDUCTAL GRAY UNDER ACTIVATION OF LOCUS COERULEUS IN A ROTENONE MODEL OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE.

The aim of the study was investigation the ratio of excitatory and depressor post-stimulus manifestations of Periaqueductal gray (PAG) single neuron activity during Locus coeruleus (LC) stimulation in a Parkinson's disease (PD) model to identify excitotoxicity in neurodegeneration and the formation of persistent pain, which is poorly treatable. The electrophysiological studies were performed on 6 Albino rats (230±30g.): intact (n=3) and on the rotenone model of Parkinson's disease (PD) induced by unilateral injection of rotenone for 4 weeks holding of animals (n=3).

[The ethnic factor in dentistry as a component of personalized medicine].

Personalized medicine is the choice of treatment based on the individual characteristics of the patient due to genetic and environmental factors. The latter are to a certain degree determined by an ethnic group. This article discusses ethnic aspects in the structure of the maxillofacial area, the prevalence, development, treatment and prevention of dental diseases.

New insight into the history of domesticated apple: secondary contribution of the European wild apple to the genome of cultivated varieties.

The apple is the most common and culturally important fruit crop of temperate areas. The elucidation of its origin and domestication history is therefore of great interest. The wild Central Asian species Malus sieversii has previously been identified as the main contributor to the genome of the cultivated apple (Malus domestica), on the basis of morphological, molecular, and historical evidence.
