Impact of early locus coeruleus lesions in the TgF344 Alzheimer's disease rat model
Abstract INTRODUCTION In murine models of Alzheimer's disease (AD), lesioning the locus coeruleus–norepinephrine (LC‐NE) system with DSP‐4 exacerbates AD‐like neuropathology and cognitive impairment. However, the impact of LC lesions during prodromal stages is poorly characterized. METHODS TgF344‐AD and wild‐type rats received monthly injections of DSP‐

Attenuated pupillary response during visual search in preclinical Alzheimer's disease
Abstract INTRODUCTION The locus coeruleus is among the earliest brain regions affected by tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the functional impact is difficult to measure in vivo. Task‐evoked pupil dilation provides an index of locus coeruleus–norepinephrine function that might be altered in cognitively normal older adults with underlying ...

Abstract INTRODUCTION The locus coeruleus (LC) is among the first sites of tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and may seed neocortical tau. METHODS We used longitudinal neuromelanin‐sensitive MRI to assess LC integrity in vivo in a cohort of cognitively unimpaired older adults with familial risk of AD in relation to tau and amyloid positron ...

Objectives The aim of this study is to generate hypotheses about unknown drugs associated with the onset or worsening of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) and to explore their potential pathophysiologic mechanisms through a mixed disproportionality/clustering analysis from the World Health Organization (WHO) pharmacovigilance database.

Global and Regional Vigilance: Are There Two Types of Local Sleep?
The term local sleep as it is used in the literature is confusing and probably consists of two types of brain states. The first one originates from increased activity in certain cortical areas during waking, resulting in increased activity in the slow‐waves range in that same area during subsequent NREM sleep. The second one consists of local states in

Slow‐wave sleep promotes glymphatic transport through coordinated norepinephrine dynamics, vasomotion, and polarized AQP4‐dependent fluid exchange, thereby facilitating clearance of amyloid‐beta and tau. In contrast, sleep disruption, aging, vascular dysfunction, and AQP4 abnormalities impair this system and may accelerate Alzheimer‐related pathology ...

Autopsy findings in autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy (AAG) revealed preserved thoracic sympathetic ganglia, intact cardiac sympathetic fibers, and preserved enteric plexuses, providing pathological support for AAG as a channelopathy. Abstract Introduction Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy (AAG) is a rare disorder characterized by widespread ...

Noradrenergic inhibition of definitive POMC neurons through direct and indirect mechanisms. [PDF]
Norepinephrine and the α2‐adrenoceptor agonist UK 14,304 robustly inhibit definitive arcuate POMC neurons. Direct inhibition is mediated by ADRA2A‐dependent activation of potassium conductances, while additional indirect mechanisms also contribute. In vivo, inducible POMC‐specific Adra2a deletion minimally affects energy balance and modestly impairs ...

ABSTRACT Cinnamaldehyde (CA), a major component of Cinnamomum spp. essential oils, has recognized bioactivity, including possible analgesic effects. However, its acute antinociceptive mechanisms remain unclear. This study assessed the influence of CA (15, 30, and 60 mg/kg, p.o.) on locomotor and exploratory behaviors via rotarod and open field tests in
