AbstractIn this paper we describe the existence and consequences of subspecific and individual variation in the genetic make-up of house mice. The purpose is to illustrate forms of variation that are often neglected in discussions about animal care and experimental design. Towards this end, different inbred mouse strains as well as genetically selected

The role of cathepsin B, a lysosomal protease implicated in amyloid-beta (Abeta1-42) metabolism, in Alzheimer's disease remains controversial. In this issue of Neuron, Mueller-Steiner et al. manipulate the expression of cathepsin B in aged APP transgenic mice, observing that increased expression degrades preformed oligomeric and fibrillar amyloid ...

The hGFAP-driven conditional TSPO knockout is protective in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis. [PDF]
The mitochondrial translocator protein (TSPO) has been implicated in CNS diseases. Here, we sought to determine the specific role of TSPO in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the most studied animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS).

TrkA-cholinergic signaling modulates fear encoding and extinction learning in PTSD-like behavior
Recent studies have suggested that the use of cognitive enhancers as adjuncts to exposure-based therapy in individuals suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may be beneficial. Brain cholinergic signaling through basal forebrain projections
