A slowly developing dysfunction of dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons induced by long‐term paraquat administration in rats: an animal model of preclinical stages of Parkinson's disease?European Journal of Neuroscience - Tập 22 Số 6 - Trang 1294-1304 - 2005

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to examine the influence of the
long‐term paraquat administration on the dopaminergic nigrostriatal system in
rats. Paraquat was injected at a dose of 10 mg/kg i.p. for 4–24 weeks. We found
that this pesticide reduced the number of tyrosine hydroxylase‐immunoreactive
neurons of the substantia nigra; after the 4‐week treatment the reduction (17%,

Postnatal loss of Merkel cells, but not of slowly adapting mechanoreceptors in mice lacking the neurotrophin receptor p75European Journal of Neuroscience - Tập 11 Số 11 - Trang 3963-3969 - 1999
Ilka Kinkelin, Cheryl L. Stucky, Martin Koltzenburg
AbstractMerkel cells are specialized epidermal cells which are abundantly found
in touch‐sensitive areas and which are innervated by slowly adapting
mechanosensitive afferent fibres with large myelinated (Aβ) axons. The role of
Merkel cells in mechanosensation, their developmental regulation and their
influence on sensory neuron function are, however, incompletely understood.
Here, we used mice la... hiện toàn bộ
Dopamine D1‐like receptor antagonism in amygdala impairs the acquisition of glucose‐conditioned flavor preference in ratsEuropean Journal of Neuroscience - Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 289-298 - 2009
Khalid Touzani, Richard J. Bodnar, Anthony Sclafani
AbstractThis study examined the role of dopamine within the amygdala (AMY) in
flavor preference learning induced by post‐oral glucose. In Experiment 1, rats
were trained with a flavor [conditioned stimulus (CS+)] paired with intragastric
(IG) infusions of 8% glucose and a different flavor (CS−) paired with IG water
infusions. The CS+ preference was evaluated in two‐bottle tests following
bilateral... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of aspiration versus neurotoxic lesions of the amygdala on emotional responses in monkeysEuropean Journal of Neuroscience - Tập 11 Số 12 - Trang 4403-4418 - 1999
Martine Meunier, Jocelyne Bachevalier, Elisabeth A. Murray, Ludiše Málková, Mortimer Mishkin
AbstractAll previous reports describing alterations in emotional reactivity
after amygdala damage in monkeys were based on aspiration or radiofrequency
lesions which likely disrupted fibres of passage coursing to and from adjacent
ventral and medial temporal cortical areas. To determine whether this associated
indirect damage was responsible for some or all of the changes described
earlier, we com... hiện toàn bộ
Longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging study of rhesus monkey brain developmentEuropean Journal of Neuroscience - Tập 24 Số 11 - Trang 3204-3212 - 2006
Ludiše Málková, Eric Heuer, Richard C. Saunders
AbstractTo examine early brain development, T1‐weighted structural MRI scans of
seven rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were obtained longitudinally between the
ages of 1 week and 4 years at 12 age points. Total brain volume, calculated at
each age point, increased significantly, by 56%, between 1 week and 4 years. The
greatest increase of 22% occurred between 1 week and 1 month, followed by
further... hiện toàn bộ
Depression‐like behaviour in mice is associated with disrupted circadian rhythms in nucleus accumbens and periaqueductal greyEuropean Journal of Neuroscience - Tập 43 Số 10 - Trang 1309-1320 - 2016
Dominic Landgraf, Jaimie Long, David K. Welsh
AbstractAn association between circadian rhythms and mood regulation is well
established, and disturbed circadian clocks are believed to contribute to the
development of mood disorders, including major depressive disorder. The
circadian system is coordinated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the master
pacemaker in the hypothalamus that receives light input from the retina and
synchronizes cir... hiện toàn bộ
Sprouting and Regeneration of Lesioned Corticospinal Tract Fibres in the Adult Rat Spinal CordEuropean Journal of Neuroscience - Tập 5 Số 9 - Trang 1156-1171 - 1993
Lisa Schnell, Martin E. Schwab
AbstractWe have studied the effects of tissue transplants and antibodies (IN‐1)
against the myelin‐associated neurite growth inhibitory proteins on sprouting
and regeneration of the rat corticospinal tract (CST). Transplantation of
embryonic spinal cord tissue into bilateral transection lesions of the lower
thoracic spinal cord in young adult rats resulted in a marked increase of the
sprouting of ... hiện toàn bộ
Single Channel Recording from Glial Cells on the Untreated Surface of the Frog Optic NerveEuropean Journal of Neuroscience - Tập 3 Số 8 - Trang 813-819 - 1991
Héctor Marrero, Paula M. Orkand, Helmut Kettenmann, R. K. Orkand
AbstractThe patch clamp technique has been used to record single channel
currents from the untreated surface of the intact frog optic nerve after the
meninges and basal lamina have been mechanically removed. Cells filled via
dialysis with Lucifer yellow (LY) from the patch pipette had a typical astrocyte
morphology and were dye‐coupled to adjacent astrocytes. This is consistent with
the electron‐m... hiện toàn bộ
