CX3CL1 is up-regulated in the rat hippocampus during memory-associated synaptic plasticity (2014)
Journal Article
Sheridan, G. K., Wdowicz, A., Pickering, M., Watters, O., Halley, P., O'Sullivan, N. C., …Murphy, K. J. (2014). CX3CL1 is up-regulated in the rat hippocampus during memory-associated synaptic plasticity. Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 8, Article 233. https://doi.org/10.3389/fncel.2014.00233

Several cytokines and chemokines are now known to play normal physiological roles in the brain where they act as key regulators of communication between neurons, glia, and microglia. In particular, cytokines and chemokines can affect cardinal cellula... Read More about CX3CL1 is up-regulated in the rat hippocampus during memory-associated synaptic plasticity.

Theta-Burst Stimulation of Hippocampal Slices Induces Network-Level Calcium Oscillations and Activates Analogous Gene Transcription to Spatial Learning (2014)
Journal Article
Murphy, K. J., Sheridan, G. K., O'Connor, J. J., Moeendarbary, E., & Pickering, M. (2014). Theta-Burst Stimulation of Hippocampal Slices Induces Network-Level Calcium Oscillations and Activates Analogous Gene Transcription to Spatial Learning. PLoS ONE, 9(6), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0100546

Over four decades ago, it was discovered that high-frequency stimulation of the dentate gyrus induces long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission. LTP is believed to underlie how we process and code external stimuli before converting it to...

Targeting S1P receptors in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice improves early deficits in locomotor activity and increases ultrasonic vocalisations (2014)
Journal Article
Sheridan, G. K., & Dev, K. K. (2014). Targeting S1P receptors in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice improves early deficits in locomotor activity and increases ultrasonic vocalisations. Scientific Reports, 4(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/srep05051

Fingolimod (FTY720) is an oral therapy for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) and targets sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors (S1PRs). FTY720 also rescues animals from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of MS. The...
