1st INCF Workshop on Genetic Animal Models for Brain Diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The INCF Secretariat organized a workshop to focus on the “role of neuroinformatics in the processes of building, evaluating, and using genetic animal models for brain diseases” in Stockholm, December 13–14, 2009.

Two inbred rat strains contrasting for anxiety-related behaviors show similar levels of defensive responses to cat odor

open access: yesBehavioral and Brain Functions, 2007
Rodents are known to display fear-related responses when exposed to the odor of natural predators, such as cats, even when they are totally naïve to these stimuli.

Strain specific effects of low level lead exposure on associative learning and memory in rats. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Exposure to lead (Pb) remains a significant public health concern. Lead exposure in early life impairs the normal development of numerous cognitive and neurobehavioral processes.

Deficits in Sustained Attention and Changes in Dopaminergic Protein Levels following Exposure to Proton Radiation Are Related to Basal Dopaminergic Function.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The current report assessed the effects of low-level proton irradiation in inbred adult male Fischer 344 and Lewis rats performing an analog of the human Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT), commonly utilized as an object risk assessment tool to quantify ...

Dysfunctional play and dopamine physiology in the Fischer 344 rat

open access: yes, 2011
Juvenile Fischer 344 rats are known to be less playful than other inbred strains, although the neurobiological substrate(s) responsible for this phenotype is uncertain.

ATF5‐Dependent GDF15 Expression Mediates Anesthesia‐Induced Neuroprotection Against Stroke

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Anesthesia‐induced preconditioning protects against perioperative stroke. By manipulating ATF5 in excitatory neurons, it is shown that anesthesia‐driven ATF5 upregulation activates the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) and elevates GDF15 expression.

Establishment and Characteristics of Five Analbuminemic Inbred Strains of Rats

open access: yesExperimental Animals, 1987
Five analbuminemic inbred strains of rats (AD/1, AD/2, AD/3, AD/4, AD/5) were established from Nagase analbuminemic rats (NAR). They showed no genetic differences in coat color, biochemical marker gene loci and skin grafting test. Their serum levels of total cholesterol, phospholipids, triglycerides, and beta-lipoproteins were compared with normal ...

Metformin Restores Mitochondrial Function and Neurogenesis in POLG Patient‐Derived Brain Organoids

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Patient‐derived POLG‐mutant cortical organoids reveal neuronal subtype‐specific mitochondrial and synaptic defects, with dopaminergic neurons most affected. Metformin treatment restores neuronal identity, mitochondrial function, and excitability, increased mtDNA maintenance, and reprogrammed metabolism via TCA and redox pathways.

A QTL on rat chromosome 7 modulates prepulse inhibition, a neuro-behavioral trait of ADHD, in a Lewis x SHR intercross

open access: yesBehavioral and Brain Functions, 2006
Background Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder with a substantial genetic component. The Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats (SHR), considered as a good animal model of ADHD, also show less anxiety-like ...
