Rapid generation of prion disease models using AAV‐delivered PrP variants in knockout mice
We developed a rapid AAV‐based system to generate prion disease models in weeks rather than months. Following systemic AAV9P31 delivery of modified PrP to knockout mice, we achieved brain‐wide expression and successful propagation of both classical (RML) and atypical (GSS‐A117V) prion strains.

WFA-labeled perineuronal nets in the macaque claustrum [PDF]
The claustrum (CLA) has been discussed as central to integrated conscious percepts, although recent evidence has emphasized a role in detecting sensory novelty or in amplifying correlated cortical inputs.We report that many neurons in the macaque CLA are ensheathed in perineuronal nets (PNNs), which contribute to synaptic stability and enhance neuronal

Dopamine release in the prefrontal cortex plays a critical role in cognitive function such as working memory, attention and planning. Dopamine exerts complex modulation on excitability of pyramidal neurons and interneurons, and regulates excitatory and ...

Influence of enriched environment on viral encephalitis outcomes: behavioral and neuropathological changes in albino Swiss mice. [PDF]
An enriched environment has previously been described as enhancing natural killer cell activity of recognizing and killing virally infected cells. However, the effects of environmental enrichment on behavioral changes in relation to virus clearance and ...

From Lobectomy to Completion Thyroidectomy: A Cohort Study and Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Introduction The suggested management of thyroid cancer has been revised in the 2015 American Thyroid Association Management Guidelines, suggesting thyroid lobectomy alone for low‐risk thyroid cancer. However, precise patient selection is essential to identify who may need completion thyroidectomy (CT), avoiding the burden of a second surgery.

Running-induced neurogenesis reduces CA1 perineuronal net density without substantial temporal delay
Aerobic exercise has many effects on brain function, particularly at the hippocampus. Exercise has been shown to increase the rate of adult neurogenesis within the dentate gyrus and decrease the density of perineuronal nets in area CA1.

Casting a Wide Net: Role of Perineuronal Nets in Neural Plasticity [PDF]
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are unique extracellular matrix structures that wrap around certain neurons in the CNS during development and control plasticity in the adult CNS. They appear to contribute to a wide range of diseases/disorders of the brain, are involved in recovery from spinal cord injury, and are altered during aging, learning and memory, and

Perineuronal nets in HVC and plasticity in male canary song.
Songbirds learn their vocalizations during developmental sensitive periods of song memorization and sensorimotor learning. Some seasonal songbirds, called open-ended learners, recapitulate transitions from sensorimotor learning and song crystallization ...

Neuroanatomical Alterations in the CNTNAP2 Mouse Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with neurodevelopmental alterations, including atypical forebrain cellular organization. Mutations in several ASD-related genes often result in cerebral cortical anomalies, such as the abnormal developmental ...
