Integrated genomics and proteomics define huntingtin CAG length-dependent networks in mice. [PDF]
To gain insight into how mutant huntingtin (mHtt) CAG repeat length modifies Huntington's disease (HD) pathogenesis, we profiled mRNA in over 600 brain and peripheral tissue samples from HD knock-in mice with increasing CAG repeat lengths.

Research advances in dysphagia animal models
This review systematically summarizes the establishment, evaluation, and detection of dysphagia animal models in stroke, Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in three kinds of experimental animals (including rodents, nonhuman primates, and other mammals), providing a basis for the selection of appropriate animal models of ...

Blood α‐Synuclein Separates Parkinson's Disease from Dementia with Lewy Bodies
Objective Aggregation of misfolded α‐synuclein (aSyn) within the brain is the pathologic hallmark of Lewy body diseases (LBDs), including Parkinson's disease (PD), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) disease. Although evidence exists for aSyn “strains,” conformations with distinct biological properties, biomarkers for PD versus DLB are lacking.

Dysfunctional play and dopamine physiology in the Fischer 344 rat
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.

Exenatide Once Weekly in the Treatment of Patients with Multiple System Atrophy
Objective Exenatide, a glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonist, has neuroprotective effects in preclinical models of multiple system atrophy (MSA). We investigated these effects in a proof‐of‐concept clinical trial. Methods In this single‐center, randomized, open label trial, participants with MSA were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive ...

Striatal dual cholinergic /GABAergic transmission in Parkinson disease: friends or foes?
The rule of one terminal and one transmitter acting on one synapse clearly fails to cover the complexity of chemical synapse operation in the brain. Compelling evidence now indicates that two transmitters can be released from the same terminal, acting in

Role of dorsomedial striatum neuronal ensembles in incubation of methamphetamine craving after voluntary abstinence [PDF]
We recently developed a rat model of incubation of methamphetamine craving after choice-based voluntary abstinence. Here, we studied the role of dorsolateral striatum (DLS) and dorsomedial striatum (DMS) in this incubation.

Disease Progression in Multiple System Atrophy: The ASPIRE Multi‐Modal Biomarker Study
Objective The objective of this study was to characterize changes in candidate biomarkers in early multiple system atrophy (MSA) and identify baseline predictors of faster progression. Methods This 1‐year, multicenter, prospective study assessed clinical, neuroimaging (3T‐magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], dopamine transporter single‐photon emission ...
