Burbach, Peter P.H. (author), Meijer, D.H.M. (author)Latrophilins (LPHNs) are adhesion GPCRs that are originally discovered as spider’s toxin receptors, but are now known to be involved in brain development and linked to several neuronal and non-neuronal disorders. Latrophilins act in conjunction with other cell adhesion molecules and may play a leading role in its network organization. Here,...review 2019

Ebrahimigharehbaghi, S. (author), Qian, QK (author), Meijer, F.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)The housing stock has a considerable share of 40% in energy consumption and 36% of CO <sub>2</sub> emissions in the EU. In accordance to energy efficiency and emissions targets set by EU, The Netherlands has aimed to renovate 300,000 homes each year, leading to 50% reduction in CO <sub>2</sub> emissions, by 2050. Many factors including low...journal article 2019

Ebrahimigharehbaghi, S. (author), Qian, QK (author), Meijer, F.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)The European Commission aims to decrease GHG emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050 (EU, 2017). The housing stock has a considerable share that equals to 40% of energy consumption and 36% of emissions in the EU. The current research aims to evaluate the homeowners' energy renovation decisions on the exterior, interior, and insulation...journal article 2019

(author), Kroon, Jan (author), Meijer, Onno C. (author)Glucocorticoid hormones have important effects on brain function in the context of acute and chronic stress. Many of these are mediated by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). GR has transcriptional activity which is highly context-specific and differs between tissues and even between cell types. The outcome of GR-mediated transcription depends...journal article 2019

van den Brom, P.I. (author), Meijer, A. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Thermal renovations are considered to be an effective measure to reduce residential energy consumption. However, they often result in lower-than-expected energy savings. In this paper, we investigate some parameters that influence the probability on lower-than-expected energy savings. We do this by comparing actual pre- and post-renovation...journal article 2019

(author)Metabolic status impacts on the emotional brain to induce behavior that maintains energy balance. While hunger suppresses the fear circuitry to promote explorative food-seeking behavior, satiety or obesity may increase fear to prevent unnecessary risk-taking. Here we aimed to unravel which metabolic factors, that transfer information about...journal article 2018

Meijer, F.M. (author), Straub, A. (author), Mlecnik, E. (author)The housing sector is responsible for a more than a quarter of the total final energy consumption in the EU. As the majority (70%) of the EU-housing stock is owner occupied and largely consists of single family dwellings it is understandable that many countries focus their energy saving policies on homeowners. Complementary to the national...journal article 2018

The combination of acoustic methods with other methods, which are based on the density or on the shear strength measurements, is discussed. In particular, the measurements by the DensX, the...conference paper 2018
