    • Autophagy as a therapeutic target in cardiovascular disease 
      Nemchenko, Andriy; Chiong Lay, Mario; Turer, Aslan; Lavandero González, Sergio; Hill, Joseph A. (2011)
      The epidemic of heart failure continues apace, and development of novel therapies with clinical efficacy has lagged. Now, important insights into the molecular circuitry of cardiovascular autophagy have raised the prospect ...
    • Comparative study of the red nucleus cytoarchitecture in cats with neonatal or adult hemicerebellectomy 
      Infante, Claudio; Rossel, Jaime; Leiva, Juan; Briones, Claudio (1997)
      In this study we investigated the red nucleus (RN) cytoarchitecture in cats with hemicerebellectomy performed at a neonatal or an adult age (HcbK and HcbA, respectively). Compared to intact control cats, the volume of the ...
    • Evidence for frequency-dependent cortical plasticity in the human brain 
      Lea Carnall, Caroline; Trujillo Barreto, Nelson; Montemurro, Marcelo; El-Deredy, Wael; Parkes, Laura (Natl Acad Sciences, 2017)
      Frequency-dependent plasticity (FDP) describes adaptation at the synapse in response to stimulation at different frequencies. Its consequence on the structure and function of cortical networks is unknown. We tested whether ...
    • Perinatal asphyxia: CNS development and deficits with delayed onset 
      Herrera-Marschitz Muller, Mario; Neira-Pena, Tanya; Rojas-Mancilla, Edgardo; Espina Marchant, Pablo; Esmar, Daniela; Perez, Ronald; Muñoz, Valentina; Gutierrez-Hernandez, Manuel; Rivera, Benjamin; Simola, Nicola; Bustamante, Diego; Morales, Paola; Gebicke-Haerter, Peter J. (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014)
      Perinatal asphyxia constitutes a prototype of obstetric complications occurring when pulmonary oxygenation is delayed or interrupted. The primary insult relates to the duration of the period lacking oxygenation, leading ...
    • Plasticity and genotype × environment interactions for locomotion in drosophila melanogaster larvae 
      Del Pino, Francisco; Salgado, Erika; Godoy Herrera, Raúl (2012)
      Locomotion is a primary means by which animals interact with the world. To understand the contribution of genotype × environment interactions to individual differences in D. melanogaster larval locomotion we investigated ...
    • Test of the adaptive modulation hypothesis in rodents: Dietary flexibility and enzyme plasticity 
      Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo; Lagos, Jorge A.; Bozinovic, Francisco (1999)
      The phenotypic response of digestive enzymes was assessed in two species of rodents with different foods habits. Species were Phyllotis darwini (omnivorous) and Octodon degus (herbivorous). The activity of sucrase, maltase ...
