Cerebrospinal Fluid Proenkephalin Predicts Striatal Atrophy Decades before Clinical Motor Diagnosis in Huntington's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by early, selective, progressive vulnerability of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs). Proenkephalin (PENK), a precursor of opioid peptides abundantly expressed in MSNs, is a promising biomarker of striatal integrity, but region‐specific associations and its potential for early‐stage ...

Galanin interacts with Neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus through GALR2/NPYY1R heterodimers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We have shown Galanin(GAL) and Neuropeptide Y Y1(NPYY1) interactions at behavioural, cellular and receptor levels through GALR2/NPYY1R heterodimers in the amygdala.

The Second Hit Hypothesis in Animal and Human Dystonia: The Role of Peripheral Nerve Trauma and Spinal Cord Injury

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
The “second‐hit” hypothesis proposes that both a genetic predisposition and an environmental insult—such as peripheral nerve trauma or spinal cord injury—are required for dystonia development. This review explores how neuroinflammation and maladaptive plasticity, triggered by nerve and spinal cord injury, contribute to dystonia pathogenesis.

Topiramate Enhances GABAergic Tone to Orexigenic Neuropeptide Y/Agouti‐Related Peptide (NPY/AgRP) Neurons

open access: yesObesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Topiramate is a medication used off‐label, or in combination with phentermine, for the management of obesity. However, its mechanism of action remains elusive. As many obesity medications target the brain, we aimed to determine if topiramate influences the activity of hypothalamic melanocortin neurons known to regulate energy balance.

Nectar concentrations of biogenic amines affect bumble bee behavior in a dose‐dependent manner

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
While foraging, pollinators encounter a wide array of molecules, some of which may influence their internal states and behaviors. Among these, biogenic amines – nitrogenous compounds that serve as essential neuromodulators in animals – have only recently been detected in floral nectar.
