Cannabinoid receptors are functionally operant at both glutamate and GABA synapses on hypothalamic magnocellular neuroendocrine cells; however, retrograde endocannabinoid actions are evoked at only glutamate synapses. We tested whether the functional targeting of evoked retrograde endocannabinoid actions to glutamate, and not GABA, synapses on magnocellular neurons is the result of the spatial ...

Las muestras fueron conveniencia, conformadas por estudiantes universitarios 5 países iberoamericanos: Colombia, Salvador, Argentina, Perú España, quienes respondieron a una tarea asociación palabras con el término...

5 Endogenous cannabinoids (eCBs) mobilized from postsynaptic cells activate presynaptic cannabinoid 6 receptors (CB1Rs), and thereby inhibit synaptic transmitter release. The inhibition can be either brief 7 (seconds) or long-lasting (minutes to hours). Recent studies provide insight into the presynaptic 8 mechanisms responsible for long-lasting, eCB-mediated long-term depression (eCB-LTD). Amo...

I develop a solution concept, equilibrium coalitional behavior (ECB), which captures foresight and imposes the requirement that each coalition in a sequence of coalitional moves chooses optimally among all its available options. The model does not require, but may use, the apparatus of a dynamic process or a protocol that specifies the negotiation procedure underlying coalition formation. There...

It has been reported that activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) can mediate endocannabinoid-induced short-term depression of synaptic transmission in cerebellar parallel fiber (PF)-Purkinje cell (PC) synapse. mGluR1 has signaling pathways involved in intracellular calcium increase which may contribute to endocannabinoid release. Two major mGluR1-evoked calcium signaling pathw...

Two homeodomain proteins, Yox1 and Yhp1, act as repressors at early cell cycle boxes (ECBs) to restrict their activity to the M/G1 phase of the cell cycle in budding yeast. These proteins bind to Mcm1 and to a typical homeodomain binding site. The expression of Yox1 is periodic and directly correlated with its binding to, and repression of, ECB activity. The absence of Yox1 and Yhp1 or the cons...

In this paper we present a framework for the computational content analysis of European Central Bank (ECB) statements. Based on this framework, we provide two approaches that can be used in a practical context. Both approaches use the content of ECB statements to predict upward and downward movement in the MSCI EURO index. General Inquirer (GI) is used for the quantification of the content of t...

This paper examines and compares the communication strategies of the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, and their effectiveness. First, we do a comparative study exercise. We find that on monetary policy committee meeting days both the ECB and the Fed can move market rates using either monetary policy or news shocks. However, the response of the long-end of the American term structu...
