Noradrenergic control of gene expression and long-term neuronal adaptation evoked by learned vocalizations in songbirds. [PDF]
Norepinephrine (NE) is thought to play important roles in the consolidation and retrieval of long-term memories, but its role in the processing and memorization of complex acoustic signals used for vocal communication has yet to be determined.

(a) Mitochondria contain wild‐type (black)/mutant (red) mtDNA; exceeding the mtDNA mutation threshold compromises OXPHOS, potentially driving degeneration of neurons vulnerable to age‐related neurodegenerative disease. Cellular compensations that is, mtDNA copy number upregulation and crosstalk with nuclear DNA may fail, driving neurodegeneration ...

Critical role of somatostatin receptor 2 in the vulnerability of the central noradrenergic system: new aspects on Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Alzheimer's disease and other age-related neurodegenerative disorders are associated with deterioration of the noradrenergic locus coeruleus (LC), a probable trigger for mood and memory dysfunction.

Effect of anticholinergic eye drops on intraorbital, periorbital and brain pulsation power
Abstract Purpose The study aims to investigate the effect of pharmacologically reducing parasympathetic activity on ocular and cerebral pulsations, inspired by recent discoveries of a glymphatic‐like system in the eye driven by physiological pulsations.

Differences in peripheral noradrenergic function among actively drinking and abstinent alcohol-dependent individuals. [PDF]
We examined whether excessive alcohol consumption was related to changes in plasma levels of noradrenaline (NA) and whether these changes recover following abstinence.

Parkinson's disease dementia: a neural networks perspective. [PDF]
In the long-term, with progression of the illness, Parkinson's disease dementia affects up to 90% of patients with Parkinson's disease. With increasing life expectancy in western countries, Parkinson's disease dementia is set to become even more ...

(A) PPN‐cholinergic neurons degenerate during PD. We stereologically counted their rostro‐caudal distribution in post‐mortem PPNs in health versus PD. (Bi) Serial PPN‐containing samples were cholinergic antibody‐DAB stained. (Bii) Only DAB‐stained neurons on green lines and inside the box were counted.

Central mechanisms mediating the hypophagic effects of oleoylethanolamide and N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines: different lipid signals? [PDF]
The spread of "obesity epidemic" and the poor efficacy of many anti-obesity therapies in the long-term highlight the need to develop novel efficacious therapy. This necessity stimulates a large research effort to find novel mechanisms controlling feeding

Preclinical models for evaluating psychedelics in the treatment of major depressive disorder
Psychedelic drugs have seen a resurgence in interest as a next generation of psychiatric medicines with potential as rapid‐acting antidepressants (RAADs). Despite promising early clinical trials, the mechanisms which underlie the effects of psychedelics are poorly understood.
