Dissociation of metabolic and hemodynamic levodopa responses in the 6-hydroxydopamine rat model
Neurobiology of Disease, 2016 Dissociation of vasomotor and metabolic responses to levodopa has been observed in human subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) studied with PET and in autoradiograms from 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) rat. In both species, acute levodopa administration was

The Basal Ganglia in Action [PDF]
The Neuroscientist, 2016 The basal ganglia (BG) are the major subcortical nuclei in the brain. Disorders implicating the BG are characterized by diverse symptoms, but it remains unclear what these symptoms have in common or how they can be explained by changes in the BG circuits.

The direct basal ganglia pathway is hyperfunctional in focal dystonia
Brain : a journal of neurology, 2017 See Fujita and Eidelberg (doi:10.1093/brain/awx305) for a scientific commentary on this article. Focal dystonias are the most common type of isolated dystonia. Although their causative pathophysiology remains unclear, it is thought to involve abnormal

Advances in Microfluidic Cochlea‐On‐A‐Chip
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review systematically examines diverse cell sources for inner ear organoids and outlines stepwise induction protocols. Furthermore, it discusses current applications and prospective developments of cochlea‐on‐a‐chip technologies in areas such as deafness modeling, mechanistic studies, and drug evaluation, with particular focus on gene‐therapy drug

Advanced Science, EarlyView.AAV2.7m8 serotype combined with the gfaABC1D promoter targets infection of supporting cells (SCs). AAV2.7m8‐gfaABC1D‐Gjb2 administration to mice results in excessive immune responses. The combination of AAV2.7m8‐gfaABC1D‐Gjb2 with dexamethasone (DEX) shows a synergistic effect and enhances the gene therapy effect in a conditional Cx26 null mice model ...

Implementation of a Model of the Cortex Basal Ganglia Loop [PDF]
arXivThis article presents a simple model of the cortex-basal ganglia-thalamus loop, which is thought to serve for action selection and executions, and reports the results of its implementation. The model is based on the hypothesis that the cerebral cortex predicts actions, while the basal ganglia use reinforcement learning to decide whether to perform the ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this study, saponin‐coated silica@gold nanocarriers responsive to NIR radiation is developed to enhance intratympanic drug delivery for cisplatin‐induced hearing loss (CIHL) treatment. The biocompatibility and oto‐protective properties are validated both in vitro and in vivo.

Gd-based Contrast Enhancement of the Perivascular Spaces in the Basal Ganglia
Magnetic Resonance in Medical Sciences, 2016 Purpose: In textbooks, the perivascular space (PVS) is described as non-enhancing after the intravenous administration of gadolinium-based contrast agent (IV-GBCA).
