On the role of the striatum in response inhibition. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Stopping a manual response requires suppression of the primary motor cortex (M1) and has been linked to activation of the striatum. Here, we test three hypotheses regarding the role of the striatum in stopping: striatum activation during ...

Lack of Autophagy Induction by Lithium Decreases Neuroprotective Effects in the Striatum of Aged Rats

Pharmaceutics, 2021
The pharmacological modulation of autophagy is considered a promising neuroprotective strategy. While it has been postulated that lithium regulates this cellular process, the age-related effects have not been fully elucidated.

Effects of prolactin on movement disorders and APOE, GFAP, and PRL receptor gene expression following intracerebral hemorrhage in rats [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2021
Objective(s): Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) occurs mostly in the striatum. In ICH, blood prolactin level increases 3-fold. The effects of intracerebroventricular injection (ICV) of prolactin on motor disorders will be investigated. Materials and Methods:

Altered Cortical-Striatal Network in Patients With Hemifacial Spasm

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
Objective: Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a kind of motor disorder, and the striatum plays a significant role in motor function. The purpose of this study was to explore the alterations of the cortical-striatal network in HFS using resting-state functional ...

Dissecting Motor and Cognitive Component Processes of a Finger-Tapping Task With Hybrid Dopamine Positron Emission Tomography and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
Striatal dopamine is involved in facilitation of motor action as well as various cognitive and emotional functions. Positron emission tomography (PET) is the primary imaging method used to investigate dopamine function in humans.

Dimensionality reduction and recurrence analysis reveal hidden structures of striatal pathological states

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2022
A pipeline is proposed here to describe different features to study brain microcircuits on a histological scale using multi-scale analyses, including the uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) dimensional reduction technique and modularity ...

NT-4/5 Exacerbates Free Radical-Induced Neuronal Necrosis in Vitro and in Vivo

Neurobiology of Disease, 2000
Neurotrophins render neurons highly vulnerable to certain injuries. We examined the possibility that NT-4/5 would enhance free radical neurotoxicity in vivo as well as in vitro.
