Long-term effects of myo-inositol on traumatic brain injury: Epigenomic and transcriptomic studies.

Background And Purpose: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and its consequences remain great challenges for neurology. Consequences of TBI are associated with various alterations in the brain but little is known about long-term changes of epigenetic DNA methylation patterns. Moreover, nothing is known about potential treatments that can alter these epigenetic changes in beneficial ways.

Chicken cognin interactome and the memory of filial imprinting.

Visual imprinting is a learning process whereby young animals come to prefer a visual stimulus after exposure to it (training). The intermediate medial mesopallium in the domestic chick forebrain is critical for visual imprinting and contributes to molecular regulation of memory formation. Criteria used to infer that a change following training is learning-related have been formulated and published.
