Sex‐specific reproductive investment and survival of Atlantic salmon kelts across multiple dams
Abstract In adult Atlantic salmon, individual variation in migration and movement within rivers during spawning (i.e., reproductive movement, RM) is an important component of overall reproductive investment that may influence subsequent survival and repeat spawning.

Targeting the cholinergic system to develop a novel therapy for Huntington's disease
In this review, we outline the role of the cholinergic system in Huntington's disease, and briefly describe the dysfunction of cholinergic transmission, cholinergic neurons, cholinergic receptors and cholinergic survival factors observed in post-mortem ...

From Synapses to Circuits, the Role of KIBRA and the WWC Family in Adaptive Brain Function
KIBRA (WWC1) has been the subject of scientific interest since its initial association with nonpathological variation in human memory performance. This review discusses subsequent work in animal models demonstrating that KIBRA supports memory function.

Brain structure in juvenile-onset Huntington disease [PDF]
To assess brain morphometry in a sample of patients with juvenile-onset Huntington disease (JOHD) and several mouse models of Huntington disease (HD) that likely represent the human JOHD phenotype.Despite sharing the mutation in the Huntingtin gene, adult-onset HD characteristically presents as a hyperkinetic motor disorder, while JOHD typically ...

We have previously shown that exon 1 of the huntingtin gene does not always splice to exon 2 resulting in the production of a small polyadenylated mRNA (HTTexon1) that encodes the highly pathogenic exon 1 HTT protein.

ABSTRACT Objective To determine the concentration of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma in Alexander disease (AxD) and whether GFAP levels are predictive of disease phenotypes. Methods CSF and plasma were collected (longitudinally when available) from AxD participants and non‐AxD controls.

Abstract As our understanding of genetic risk and the availability of genetic testing increases, consideration of the psychological impact of living at risk for an autosomal dominant neurological condition (ADNC) becomes more pertinent. A systematic search of PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and Web of Science was run to identify studies exploring the psychological ...

Corticostriatal maldevelopment in the R6/2 mouse model of juvenile Huntington's disease
There is a growing consensus that brain development in Huntington's disease (HD) is abnormal, leading to the idea that HD is not only a neurodegenerative but also a neurodevelopmental disorder.
