A quantitative study of neurochemically-defined populations of inhibitory interneurons in the superficial dorsal horn of the mouse spinal cord [PDF]
, 2017 Around a quarter of neurons in laminae I-II of the dorsal horn are inhibitory interneurons. These play an important role in modulating somatosensory information, including that perceived as pain or itch.

Identifying functional populations among the interneurons in laminae I-III of the spinal dorsal horn [PDF]
, 2017 The spinal dorsal horn receives input from primary afferent axons, which terminate in a modality-specific fashion in different laminae. The incoming somatosensory information is processed through complex synaptic circuits involving excitatory and ...

Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 2012 Background Exposure to alcohol in utero is a known cause of mental retardation. Although a certain degree of motor impairment is always associated with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, little is known about the neurobiological basis of the defective ...

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022 The loss of parvalbumin-positive (PV+) neurons in the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNR) was observed in patients with end-stage Parkinson’s disease (PD) and our previously constructed old-aged Pitx3-A53Tα-Syn × Tau–/– triple transgenic mice model of

Neurochemical characterisation of lamina II inhibitory interneurons that express GFP in the PrP-GFP mouse [PDF]
, 2013 Background Inhibitory interneurons in the superficial dorsal horn play important roles in modulating sensory transmission, and these roles are thought to be performed by distinct functional populations. We have identified 4 non-overlapping classes among

Engineering parvalbumin for the heart: optimizing the Mg2+ binding properties of rat β-parvalbumin [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2011 Parvalbumin (PV), an EF-hand protein family member, is a delayed calcium buffer that exchanges magnesium for calcium to facilitate fast skeletal muscle relaxation. Genetic approaches that express parvalbumin in the heart also enhance relaxation and show promise of being therapeutic against various cardiac diseases where relaxation is compromised ...

Regulation of the E/I-balance by the neural matrisome
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023 In the mammalian cortex a proper excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance is fundamental for cognitive functions. Especially γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-releasing interneurons regulate the activity of excitatory projection neurons which form the second main ...

Dedicated hippocampal inhibitory networks for locomotion and immobility [PDF]
, 2017 Network activity is strongly tied to animal movement; however, hippocampal circuits selectively engaged during locomotion or immobility remain poorly characterized.

Simplified three-dimensional tissue clearing and incorporation of colorimetric phenotyping. [PDF]
, 2016 Tissue clearing methods promise to provide exquisite three-dimensional imaging information; however, there is a need for simplified methods for lower resource settings and for non-fluorescence based phenotyping to enable light microscopic imaging ...
