Molecular pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease
Article Abstract:
The molecular pathways involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) are discussed. The principle molecular pathways underlying the pathogenesis of sporadic and familial forms of PD are represented by mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative and nitrosative stress, the accumulation of aberrant or misfolded proteins and impairment of ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Homeostatic control of neural activity: From phenomenology to molecular design
Article Abstract:
A restrictive definition of homeostasis is used to evaluate the phenomenological and molecular evidence for homeostatic signaling in nervous system. The analysis has proposed that homeostatic signaling will allow essential mechanisms of neural plasticity to persist but will constrain this plasticity to ensure that it drives constructive rather than destructive change.
