The basal forebrain cholinergic system in aging and dementia:Rescuing cholinergic neurons from neurotoxic amyloid-beta 42 with memantine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The dysfunction and loss of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons and their cortical projections are among the earliest pathological events in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

White Matter Dysfunction and Neurotransmitter Basis Underlying the Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesiNew Medicine, EarlyView.
In the freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease, white matter shows decreased local activity but increased functional connectivity. These distinct dysfunctions are uniquely associated with specific neurotransmitter systems (GABA, dopamine, etc.), mapping a new neurochemical basis for this debilitating symptom. ABSTRACT Freezing of gait (FOG) is a severe

Loss of Sympathetic Nerves in Spleens from Patients with End Stage Sepsis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
The spleen is an important site for central regulation of immune function by noradrenergic sympathetic nerves, but little is known about this major region of neuroimmune communication in humans.

Thalamic Deep Brain Stimulation for Dystonic Head Tremor: A Long‐Term Study of 18 Patients

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dystonic head tremor is a particular manifestation of dystonia, which is difficult to treat. Although deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus has been established as a treatment for different phenotypes of dystonia, its role in dystonic tremor has been debated.

A Local Circuit Model of Learned Striatal and Dopamine Cell Responses under Probabilistic Schedules of Reward [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Before choosing, it helps to know both the expected value signaled by a predictive cue and the associated uncertainty that the reward will be forthcoming. Recently, Fiorillo et al.

Striosome–dendron bouquets highlight a unique striatonigral circuit targeting dopamine-containing neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The dopamine systems of the brain powerfully influence movement and motivation. We demonstrate that striatonigral fibers originating in striosomes form highly unusual bouquet-like arborizations that target bundles of ventrally extending dopamine ...

The Management of Parkinson's Disease Before, during and after Pregnancy—an MDS Scientific Issues Committee Review

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Pregnancy after a Parkinson's diagnosis presents complex challenges. Due to the paucity of literature, there is no evidence‐based guidelines and protocols for preconception care, management of pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period in women with early‐onset Parkinson's disease (PD).

Exploring the Impact of Polystyrene Microplastic Beads on Male Gonads of the Marine Mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastic, with its remarkable versatility and numerous applications, has greatly benefited humanity. However, its extreme resistance to natural degradation means it persists in the environment for long periods, causing global environmental problems.

Immunolocalization of choline acetyltransferase of common type in the central brain mass of Octopus vulgaris

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Histochemistry, 2012
Acetylcholine, the first neurotransmitter to be identified in the vertebrate frog, is widely distributed among the animal kingdom. The presence of a large amount of acetylcholine in the nervous system of cephalopods is well known from several biochemical

Review: Dystroglycan in the Nervous System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Dystroglycan is part of a large complex of proteins, the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of muscular dystrophies for a long time.
