Synergistic neuroprotective action of prolactin and 17β-estradiol on kainic acid-induced hippocampal injury and long-term memory deficit in ovariectomized rats
PurposeThe neuroprotective actions of the ovarian hormone 17β-estradiol (E2) against different brain lesions have been constantly confirmed in a...

Prosaposin, a neurotrophic factor, protects neurons against kainic acid-induced neurotoxicity
Prosaposin (PS) is the precursor of four sphingolipid activator proteins, saposin A–D. PS is both a precursor protein and a neuroprotective factor,...

Neural Contributions to the Cochlear Summating Potential: Spiking and Dendritic Components
Using electrocochleography, the summating potential (SP) is a deflection from baseline to tones and an early rise in the response to clicks. Here, we...
