Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors: upregulation, age‐related effects and associations with drug useGenes, Brain and Behavior - Tập 15 Số 1 - Trang 89-107 - 2016
Whitney E. Melroy-Greif, Jerry A. Stitzel, Marissa A. Ehringer
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are ligand‐gated ion channels that exogenously
bind nicotine. Nicotine produces rewarding effects by interacting with these
receptors in the brain's reward system. Unlike other receptors, chronic
stimulation by an agonist induces an upregulation of receptor number that is not
due to increased gene expression in adults; while upregulation also occurs
during develop... hiện toàn bộ
Induction of immediate early genes in the mouse auditory cortex after auditory cued fear conditioning to complex soundsGenes, Brain and Behavior - Tập 11 Số 3 - Trang 314-324 - 2012
Manuel Peter, Harald Scheuch, Thomas R. Burkard, Jaroslav Tinter, Tanja Wernle, Simon Rumpel
Immediate early genes (IEGs) are widely used as markers to delineate neuronal
circuits because they show fast and transient expression induced by various
behavioral paradigms. In this study, we investigated the expression of the IEGs
c‐fos and Arc in the auditory cortex of the mouse after auditory cued fear
conditioning using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and microarray
analysis. To test ... hiện toàn bộ
Phenotyping mouse chromosome substitution strains reveal multiple QTLs for febrile seizure susceptibilityGenes, Brain and Behavior - Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 248-255 - 2009

Febrile seizures (FS) are the most common seizure type in children and recurrent
FS are a risk factor for developing temporal lobe epilepsy. Although the
mechanisms underlying FS are largely unknown, recent family, twin and animal
studies indicate that genetics are important in FS susceptibility. Here, a
forward genetic strategy was used employing mouse chromosome substitution
strains (CSS) to ide... hiện toàn bộ
A phenotypic and molecular characterization of the fmr1‐tm1Cgr Fragile X mouseGenes, Brain and Behavior - Tập 3 Số 6 - Trang 337-359 - 2004
Qijiang Yan, P. K. Asafo‐Adjei, H Arnold, Richard E. Brown, Robert Bauchwitz
Fragile X Syndrome is the most common form of inherited mental retardation. It
is also known for having a substantial behavioral morbidity, including autistic
features. In humans, Fragile X Syndrome is almost always caused by inactivation
of the X‐linked FMR1 gene. A single knockout mouse model, fmr1‐tm1Cgr, exists.
In this report we further characterize the cognitive and behavioral phenotype of

Genetic manipulation of STEP reverses behavioral abnormalities in a fragile X syndrome mouse modelGenes, Brain and Behavior - Tập 11 Số 5 - Trang 586-600 - 2012

Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common inherited form of intellectual
disability and prevailing known genetic basis of autism, is caused by an
expansion in the Fmr1 gene that prevents transcription and translation of
fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). FMRP binds to and controls
translation of mRNAs downstream of metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR)
activation. Recent work shows tha... hiện toàn bộ
Handling and environmental enrichment do not rescue learning and memory impairments in αCamKIIT286A mutant miceGenes, Brain and Behavior - Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 132-139 - 2003
Anna C. Need, Karl-Peter Giese
Environmental enrichment and postnatal handling have been shown to improve
learning and memory in the Morris water maze, and to rescue impairments caused
by genetic modification, age or genetic background. Mice with a targeted point
mutation that prevents autophosphorylation at threonine‐286 of the α‐isoform of
the Ca2+/calmodulin‐dependent kinase II have impaired hippocampus‐dependent and
‐indepe... hiện toàn bộ
Home‐cage activity in heterogeneous stock (HS) mice as a model of baseline activityGenes, Brain and Behavior - Tập 1 Số 3 - Trang 166-173 - 2002

Behavioral genetic work in humans indicates that clinical hyperactivity is best
viewed as the extreme end of activity levels in the population. However, current
animal models of hyperactivity are not studied as quantitative traits as they
are either knockout models or inbred strains. Furthermore, these animal models
generally demonstrate elevated locomotion in novel environments, but not in
their ... hiện toàn bộ
Model of autism: increased ratio of excitation/inhibition in key neural systemsGenes, Brain and Behavior - Tập 2 Số 5 - Trang 255-267 - 2003
John L. R. Rubenstein, Michael M. Merzenich
Autism is a severe neurobehavioral syndrome, arising largely as an inherited
disorder, which can arise from several diseases. Despite recent advances in
identifying some genes that can cause autism, its underlying neurological
mechanisms are uncertain. Autism is best conceptualized by considering the
neural systems that may be defective in autistic individuals. Recent advances in
understanding neu... hiện toàn bộ
