Article Synopsis
- The functioning of neural circuits is crucial for adapting to environmental changes, and various molecules, including neurotransmitters and amino acids, modulate neuronal activity.
- Researchers investigated the role of an amino acid transporter (MND) in neurons of the adult brain and found it expressed in mushroom body neurons and glial cells.
- Live calcium imaging revealed that MND is critical for the sensitivity of certain neurons to specific L-amino acids and that the TOR pathway, rather than the GDH pathway, is involved in their Leucine-dependent responses.
Memory inception and preservation in slime moulds: the quest for a common mechanism.

Learning and memory are indisputably key features of animal success. Using information about past experiences is critical for optimal decision-making in a fluctuating environment. Those abilities are usually believed to be limited to organisms with a nervous system, precluding their existence in non-neural organisms.

Recently, combination therapies have been introduced, which are both systemic and targeted (microphototherapy). To evaluate the effects of topical treatments given alone or in combination with 311-nm narrow-band microphototherapy.

She had had the lesions for about 20 years and this seemed to be an isolated case in her family. This case appeared very unusual because there were no signs of acanthokeratolysis in the biopsies.
