Peripheral Inflammation Enhances Microglia Response and Nigral Dopaminergic Cell Death in an in vivo MPTP Model of Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
, 2018 The impact of systemic inflammation in nigral dopaminergic cell loss remains unclear. Here, we have investigated the role of peripheral inflammation induced by systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration in the MPTP-based model of Parkinson’s ...

Visual and Electrosensory Circuits of the Diencephalon in Mormyrids [PDF]
, 1990 Mormyrids are one of two groups of teleost fishes known to have evolved electroreception, and the concomitant neuroanatomical changes have confounded the interpretation of many of their brain areas in a comparative context, e.g., the diencephalon, where ...

Auditory perception exhibits sexual dimorphism and left telencephalic dominance in Xenopus laevis
Biology Open, 2018 Sex differences in both vocalization and auditory processing have been commonly found in vocal animals, although the underlying neural mechanisms associated with sexual dimorphism of auditory processing are not well understood.

Distribution of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) immunoreactivity in the brain of the teleost cyprinus carpio [PDF]
, 2018 Cholinergic systems play a role in basic cerebral functions and its dysfunction is associated with deficit in neurodegenerative disease. Mechanisms involved in human brain diseases, are often approached by using fish models, especially cyprinids, given ...

Toward Generating Subtype-Specific Mesencephalic Dopaminergic Neurons in vitro
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Mesencephalic dopaminergic (mDA) neurons derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have proven to be pivotal for disease modeling studies and as a source of transplantable tissue for regenerative therapies in Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Connections of the corpus cerebelli in the green sunfish and the common goldfish [PDF]
, 1988 Examination of the connections of the corpus cerebelli in one perciform (Lepomis cyanellus) and one cypriniform teleost (Carassius auratus) reveal that ipsilateral afferent connections in both species arise from an anterior group of nuclei in the ...
