The protective effect of lactoferrin on ventral mesencephalon neurons against MPP+ is not connected with its iron binding ability [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
Lactoferrin (Lf) can bind to lactoferrin receptor (LfR), leading to iron transport through the plasma membrane. Besides iron transportation, Lf also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Plant Material in the Thalamus and Mesencephalon of a Young Dog [PDF]

Veterinary Sciences
An unusual case of neurological deficits due to intracranial plant material in the thalamus is presented. The case was a young dog with pyrexia, neck pain, and neurological deficits that were consistent with an intracranial multifocal lesion.

The distribution of 13 GABAA receptor subunit mRNAs in the rat brain. I. Telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon [PDF]

Journal of Neuroscience, 1992
The expression patterns of 13 GABAA receptor subunit encoding genes (alpha 1-alpha 6, beta 1-beta 3, gamma 1-gamma 3, delta) were determined in adult rat brain by in situ hybridization.

Isthmus organizer for mesencephalon and metencephalon

Development Growth and Differentiation, 2008
The vertebrate central nervous system is elaborated from a simple neural tube. Brain vesicles formation is the first sign of regionalization. Classical transplantation using quail and chick embryos revealed that the mesencephalon–metencephalon boundary (isthmus) functions as an organizer of the mesencephalon and metencephalon.

MRI diffusion and perfusion alterations in the mesencephalon and pons as markers of disease and symptom reversibility in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.

PLoS ONE, 2020
IntroductionCore symptomatology in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) points at dysfunction in the mesencephalon and pons indicating pathological changes in these regions, but only a few studies have addressed the issue.

Diversity matters – heterogeneity of dopaminergic neurons in the ventral mesencephalon and its relation to Parkinson's Disease

Journal of Neurochemistry, 2016
Dopaminergic neurons in the ventral mesencephalon (the ventral mesencephalic dopaminergic complex) are known for their role in a multitude of behaviors, including cognition, reward, addiction and voluntary movement.

Ventral Mesencephalon-Enriched Genes That Regulate the Development of Dopaminergic Neurons In Vivo [PDF]

Journal of Neuroscience, 2009
Mesodiencephalic dopaminergic (mDA) neurons are critical for movement control and other physiological activities. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their development are poorly understood. We aimed to establish the expression profiles of genes

The A9 dopamine neuron component in grafts of ventral mesencephalon is an important determinant for recovery of motor function in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease

Brain, 2010
Grafts of foetal ventral mesencephalon, used in cell replacement therapy for Parkinson’s disease, are known to contain a mix of dopamine neuronal subtypes including the A9 neurons of the substantia nigra and the A10 neurons of the ventral tegmental area.

Deep Learning-Based Assessment of Brainstem Volume Changes in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2 (SCA2): A Study on Patients and Preclinical Subjects [PDF]

Sensors
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by progressive brainstem and cerebellar atrophy, leading to gait ataxia. Quantifying this atrophy in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is critical for tracking disease progression
