Summary
This paper discusses the role of neurosteroids, specifically Pregnenolone Sulfate, and its receptor, TrpM3, in the development of the retina and their impact on retinal waves, which are characteristic of specific stages of synaptic development and connectivity.
Categories
Eye health: The paper explores the role of neurosteroids and their receptors in the development of the retina, specifically focusing on their impact on retinal waves and synaptic connectivity.
Education and learning: The paper discusses the role of neurosteroids in neural circuit formation and refinement, which is crucial for learning and memory.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper mentions that Pregnenolone Sulfate, a neurosteroid, has been shown to enhance memory formation in rodents.
Aging: The paper notes that the production of Pregnenolone Sulfate, a neurosteroid, decreases during aging.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of neurosteroids, which are hormones produced in the brain, in the development of the retina.
