Electrocochleographic Changes Predict an Early Sign of Cochlear Degeneration

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The purpose of this study is to identify the earliest appearing auditory electrophysiological indicators that change with age progression in young adults with normal hearing, and to analyze the frequency distribution patterns of these markers in the cochlear.

A role for epithelium‐derived 6‐nitrodopamine on human ureter contractility

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose To investigate the basal release of 6‐nitrodopamine (6‐ND) from human isolated ureter and the role of this novel catecholamine in the ureter contractility. Experimental Approach Ureters from 67 brain‐dead organ donors (40 males and 27 females) were used during kidney transplantation procedures.

Three‐year outcomes of repeated botulinum neurotoxin A injections to the lower extremities in young children with spastic cerebral palsy in GMFCS levels I to III

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
In this study, we followed a group of children 2 to 6 years old with spastic cerebral palsy functioning in GMFCS levels I–III, over 3 years. Sixty‐five received BoNT‐A and 59 did not. Repeated BoNT‐A injections over 3 years were not associated with improvements in gross motor function or passive ankle dorsiflexion. Daily step counts, favouring the BoNT‐

Neurosystems: brain rhythms and cognitive processing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Neuronal rhythms are ubiquitous features of brain dynamics, and are highly correlated with cognitive processing. However, the relationship between the physiological mechanisms producing these rhythms and the functions associated with the rhythms remains ...

Equine botulism

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Botulism is a severe and often fatal disease in equine patients worldwide. Clostridium botulinum is a ubiquitous soil organism which produces a potent neurotoxin resulting in neuromuscular blockade and flaccid paralysis in affected animals. Definitive diagnosis is often impractical or impossible, leading to diagnosis and treatment based on ...

Substitution of natural sensory input by artificial neurostimulation of an amputated trigeminal nerve does not prevent the degeneration of basal forebrain cholinergic circuits projecting to the somatosensory cortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
Peripheral deafferentation downregulates acetylcholine (ACh) synthesis in sensory cortices. However the responsible neural circuits and processes are not known.

Synaptic transmission as a cooperative phenomenon in confined systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this review paper, the theory of synaptic transmission (ST) was developed and discussed. We used the hypothesis of isomorphism between: (a) the cooperative behavior of mediators --- acetylcholine molecules (ACh) and cholinoreceptors in a synaptic ...

D1/D5 receptor activation promotes long‐term potentiation and synaptic tagging/capture in hippocampal area CA2

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Activation of dopamine receptor D1 (D1R) stimulates PKA and ERK pathways via dissociation of stimulatory and olfactory G protein alpha subunits (Gαs/olf). PKA relieves striatal‐enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase (STEP) inhibition of ERK, promoting cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element‐binding protein (CREB)‐driven transcription of ...

Multiple functions of precursor BDNF to CNS neurons: negative regulation of neurite growth, spine formation and cell survival

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2009
Background Proneurotrophins and mature neurotrophins elicit opposite effects via the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) and Trk tyrosine kinase receptors, respectively; however the molecular roles of proneurotrophins in the CNS are not fully understood ...
