Beiser, T., Lisniansky, E., Weitz, M., Bingor, A., Grad, E., Rosenblum, K., …Yaka, R. (2022). A functional eEF2K-eEF2 pathway in the NAc is critical for the expression of cocaine-induced psychomotor sensitisation and conditioned place preference. Translational Psychiatry, 12, Article 460. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41398-022-02232-1

Recent evidence links synaptic plasticity and mRNA translation, via the eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase (eEF2K) and its only known substrate, eEF2. However, the involvement of the eEF2 pathway in cocaine-induced neuroadaptations and cocaine-ind...

Mitochondrial Dynamics in the Neonatal Brain -a potential target following injury? (2022)
Journal Article
Jones, A., & Thornton, C. (2022). Mitochondrial Dynamics in the Neonatal Brain -a potential target following injury?. Bioscience Reports, https://doi.org/10.1042/BSR20211696

The impact of birth asphyxia and its sequelae, hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury, is long lasting and significant, both for the infant and for their family. Treatment options are limited to therapeutic hypothermia, which is not universally successful an... Read More about Mitochondrial Dynamics in the Neonatal Brain -a potential target following injury?.
