Main input to hippocampus--Mystery about entorhinal cortex

Entorhinor cortex is a mysterious place for me.Since hippocamupus has a critical role in turning shorterm memory to long term ones, for this to happen, entorhinal cortex has to receive inputs from cortex from other parts responsible for sense processing and storage.

physiology of the medulla oblongata

medulla oblongata is a place that requires much further study for its significant role in modulating the functions of the gastroenterological system and cardiac vascular system. A good way would be to combine electrophysiology and neuroanatomical methods

changes in the depth of breath during depression

there must be some changes in the physical breath when people are undergoing depression. I will find a way to measure that.
Maybe we can use the carbone fiber electrode to monitor the change in the level of neurotrasmitter, such as dopamine, NE, adrenaline, etc

induction of lewy body by patient tissues

Lewy bodies in grafted neuronsin subjects with Parkinson’sdisease suggest host-to-graftdisease propagation.nat med, 2008
it has been reported that fetal neurons injected into PD patient striatum tissues can induce the formation of lewy body. So it is tempting to observe whether PD patient tissues injected into mice or rats can induce similar pathology.

Critical period for large hornet

is there any possibility that the development of the eye of hornet undergo a critical period during which visual deprivation would impair the vision
