BMC Neuroscience 2013, 14:24Post-stroke hyperglycemia affects NSCs
Post-ischemic hyperglycemia induces cell death and inhibits proliferation of neuronal stem cells (NSCs), which may be related to the poorer outcome experienced by patients who have high glucose levels after a stroke.

BMC Neuroscience 2013, 14:22Snail polysynaptic circuits characterized
Neurons isolated from the Helix snail can be used to investigate the formation of polysynaptic networks, with different chemical treatments causing the formation of either electric or chemical connections, and serotonin application leading to spontaneous firing activity.

BMC Neuroscience 2013, 14:19Chemokine receptor has role in herpetic encephalitis
The absence of the chemokine receptor CCR5 in mice inoculated with herpes simplex virus 1 leads to a lower viral load and high neutrophil recruitment, thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of neuroaxonal damage in herpetic encephalitis.

BMC Neuroscience 2013, 14:17Evaluating anti-NMDA-encephalitis effects
Cerebrospinal fluid from a patient with anti-NMDA-encephalitis suppresses the activity of in vitro neuronal network activity in cortical rat neurons grown on microelectrode arrays, potentially offering a new technique to evaluate the functional consequences of the disease.

BMC Neuroscience 2013, 14:10Dual tasks increase PFC activity in older adults
When performing physical and mental tasks simultaneously, older adults have higher prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity lasting longer than younger adults, indicating that high cognitive load induced by dual-task activity generates increased PFC activity.

Scope
BMC Neuroscience is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of the nervous system, including molecular, cellular, developmental and animal model studies, as well as cognitive and behavioral research, and computational modeling.
It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.
