Spatial memory alterations by activation of septal 5HT(1A) receptors: no implication of cholinergic septohippocampal neurons.

Koenig J, Lecourtier L, Cosquer B, Pereira PM, Cassel J (2011) Spatial memory alterations by activation of septal 5HT(1A) receptors: no implication of cholinergic septohippocampal neurons. Psychopharmacology (Berl) 214(2):437-454. doi: 10.1007/s00213-010-2049-7 Summary: These experiments examined what effect damaged cholinergic neurons would have on memory deficits induced by the 5-HT1A/5-HT7 receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT. Rats received 0.4

Targeting Tools: GAT1-SAP

GAT-1 is a sodium-coupled neurotransmitter transporter responsible for moving g-aminobutyric acid (GABA) across cell membranes. GABA is the predominant inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. GAT-1 is widely distributed in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. GAT-1 and GABA are present in numerous neuronal pathways, some of which are implicated in epilepsy,

Immunotoxin Tracers

Q: In a previous question, you mentioned mixing anti-DBH-SAP (Cat. #IT-03) with a tracer to monitor drug delivery. Which tracer would you recommend? We were thinking of using FluoroGold. If we do not use a tracer, we were thinking of using a neutral red solution to dilute the stock of anti-DBH-SAP in order to be
