Glutamate is the most abundant neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, as the
majority of neurons use glutamate as neurotransmitter. It is also well known that this�…

Noradrenaline is a major neuromodulator in the central nervous system (CNS). It is released
from varicosities on neuronal efferents, which originate principally from the main�…

Percolation establishes the connectivity of complex networks and is one of the most
fundamental critical phenomena for the study of complex systems. On simple networks�…

Complex systems are characterized by multiple spatial and temporal scales. A natural
framework to capture their multiscale nature is that of multilayer networks, where different�…

Chronic abdominal pain is the most common gastrointestinal issue and contributes to the
pathophysiology of functional bowel disorders and inflammatory bowel disease. Current�…

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has evolved into a well-accepted add-on treatment for
patients with severe Parkinsons disease as well as for other chronic neurological conditions�…

Although ATP and/or adenosine derived from astrocytes are known to regulate sleep, the
precise mechanisms underlying the somnogenic effects of ATP and adenosine remain�…

The basolateral amygdala (BLA) is one of the key brain areas involved in aversive learning,
especially fear memory formation. Studies of aversive learning in the BLA have largely�…

Maltreatment and trauma in childhood, termed early-life stress (ELS), has long-term effects
on the immune system. ELS impacts immune signaling at the time of exposure but also�…

Astrocytes are non‐neuronal cells that govern the homeostatic regulation of the brain
through ions and water transport, and Ca2+‐mediated signaling. As they are tightly�…
