Cholinergic mechanisms in the caudate nucleus
1. Acetylcholine (ACh), and a number of cholinomimetic and cholinolytic agents, have been applied to single neurones of the caudate nucleus, and the effects compared with those produced by stimulation of nucleus ventralis anterior thalami (VA).2. Neurones responding by excitation following ACh and VA stimulation, and others depressed by both ACh and VA

Interpretive monitoring in the caudate nucleus
In a dynamic environment an organism has to constantly adjust ongoing behavior to adapt to a given context. This process requires continuous monitoring of ongoing behavior to provide its meaningful interpretation. The caudate nucleus is known to have a role in behavioral monitoring, but the nature of these signals during dynamic behavior is still ...

A distance regularized level-set evolution model based MRI dataset segmentation of brain’s caudate nucleus [PDF]
The caudate nucleus of the brain is highly correlated to the emotional decision-making of pessimism, which is an important process for improving the understanding and treatment of depression; and the segmentation of the caudate nucleus is the most basic ...

Neurogenesis in the Caudate Nucleus of the Adult Rabbit [PDF]
Stem cells with the potential to give rise to new neurons reside in different regions of the adult rodents CNS, butin vivoonly the hippocampal dentate gyrus and the subventricular zone-olfactory bulb system are neurogenic under physiological condition. Comparative analyses have shown that vast species differences exist in the way the mammalian brain is

An approach for identifying brainstem dopaminergic pathways using resting state functional MRI. [PDF]
Here, we present an approach for identifying brainstem dopaminergic pathways using resting state functional MRI. In a group of healthy individuals, we searched for significant functional connectivity between dopamine-rich midbrain areas (substantia nigra;

Altered muscarinic and nicotinic receptor densities in cortical and subcortical brain regions in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Muscarinic and nicotinic cholinergic receptors and choline acetyltransferase activity were studied in postmortem brain tissue from patients with histopathologically confirmed Parkinson's disease and matched control subjects.

Effects of cocaethylene on dopamine and serotonin synthesis in Long–Evans and Sprague–Dawley brains [PDF]
We examined the behavioral and neurochemical effects of cocaethylene treatment in Long–Evans ( LE). and Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats. Cocaethylene-induced behaviors were significantly less in LE rats.

How choice reveals and shapes expected hedonic outcome [PDF]
Humans tend to modify their attitudes to align with past action. For example, after choosing between similarly valued alternatives, people rate the selected option as better than they originally did, and the rejected option as worse.

Deep gray matter atrophy in multiple sclerosis: a tensor based morphometry. [PDF]
Tensor based morphometry (TBM) was applied to determine the atrophy of deep gray matter (DGM) structures in 88 relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. For group analysis of atrophy, an unbiased atlas was constructed from 20 normal brains.

Stroke penumbra defined by an MRI-based oxygen challenge technique: 2. Validation based on the consequences of reperfusion [PDF]
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with oxygen challenge (T2* OC) uses oxygen as a metabolic biotracer to define penumbral tissue based on CMRO2 and oxygen extraction fraction. Penumbra displays a greater T2* signal change during OC than surrounding tissue.
