Brainstem Alzheimer's-like pathology in the triple transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

Neurobiology of Disease, 2009
The triple transgenic mouse (3xTgAD), harboring human APPSwe, PS1M146V and TauP301L genes, develops age-dependent forebrain intraneuronal Aβ and tau as well as extraneuronal plaques.

Superior Colliculus to VTA pathway controls orienting response and influences social interaction in mice

Nature Communications, 2022
Solié, Contestabile et al. show that the superior colliculus to ventral tegmental area (VTA) pathway encodes orienting behavior toward conspecifics, and modulates VTA dopamine neurons projecting onto dorsolateral striatum perturbing social interaction.

A Core Head, Neck, and Neuroanatomy Syllabus for Physical Therapy Student Education

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Head, neck, and neuroanatomy are essential components of physical therapy education due to their broad clinical applications. Detailed syllabi exist for medical students, yet none have been developed for physical therapy. This study aimed to produce an International Federation of Associations of Anatomists core head, neck, and neuroanatomy ...

Sensorimotor maps can be dynamically calibrated using an adaptive-filter model of the cerebellum.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2019
Substantial experimental evidence suggests the cerebellum is involved in calibrating sensorimotor maps. Consistent with this involvement is the well-known, but little understood, massive cerebellar projection to maps in the superior colliculus.

The tectonigral pathway regulates appetitive locomotion in predatory hunting in mice

Nature Communications, 2021
Goal-oriented movement is a fundamental animal behaviour. Here, the authors show that neurons in the superior colliculus project to the substantia nigra pars compacta, regulating dopaminergic signaling and specifically appetitive locomotion in mice.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Superior Colliculus Does Play Dice [PDF]

Neuron, 2015
Random is not a word often used in describing nervous system organization and its development. Yet, in this issue of Neuron, Owens et al. (2015) identify stochastic interactions of molecular and activity-dependent forces that can produce heterogeneous retinocollicular maps.

Noise reduction of coincidence detector output by the inferior colliculus of the barn owl [PDF]

, 2006
A recurring theme in theoretical work is that integration over populations of similarly tuned neurons can reduce neural noise. However, there are relatively few demonstrations of an explicit noise reduction mechanism in a neural network.

Identifying Common Disease Trajectories of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy with Electronic Health Records

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by parkinsonism and impairments in balance, language, and cognition. As an atypical parkinsonism, PSP progresses rapidly, lacks effective treatments, and poses significant caregiving burdens. While prior studies have identified risk factors, they

Whisker-related afferents in superior colliculus

Journal of Neurophysiology, 2016
Rodents use their whiskers to explore the environment, and the superior colliculus is part of the neural circuits that process this sensorimotor information. Cells in the intermediate layers of the superior colliculus integrate trigeminotectal afferents from trigeminal complex and corticotectal afferents from barrel cortex.
