Multiple neuromodulator depletion interacts with fornix transection to impair episodic memory in monkeys.

Croxson PL, Baxter MG (2009) Multiple neuromodulator depletion interacts with fornix transection to impair episodic memory in monkeys. Neuroscience 2009 Abstracts 98.4/EE128. Society for Neuroscience, Chicago, IL. Summary: Acetylcholine may play an important role in some aspects of cognitive function, and in particular in episodic memory. However, the role of other neuromodulatory (NM) substances, such […]

Targeting Tools: Anti-Basigin

This mouse monoclonal antibody (Cat. #AB-42; Clone P2C2) recognizes human Basigin. The antibody is purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation on conditioned medium and then further purified through Protein-A. The antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometry. The immunoglobulin superfamily protein basigin (EMMPRIN/CD147) is a cell surface glycoprotein expressed by tumor cells that stimulates matrix metalloproteinase

Nitrous oxide-induced analgesia does not influence nitrous oxide’s immobilizing requirements.

Jinks SL, Carstens E, Antognini JF (2009) Nitrous oxide-induced analgesia does not influence nitrous oxide’s immobilizing requirements. Anesth Analg 109:1111-1116. doi: 10.1213/ANE.0b013e3181b5a2a7 Summary: Noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus (LC) are involved with the analgesic action of nitrous oxide (N2O). In order to examine whether these neurons are also involved with the immobilizing effects of

Cover Article: Ablation of GRPR+ Neurons in the Spinal Cord by Bombesin-Saporin Knocks Out Itch Sensation in Mice Without Affecting Pain Circuit

Contributed by Zhou-Feng Chen, Yang-Gang Sun, Zhong-Qiu Zhao, Xiu-Li Meng, Jun Yin, Xian-Yu Liu; Washington University Pain Center School of Medicine, Dept of Anesthesiology, St. Louis, MO 63141 Unlike pain, itch sensation evokes scratching response instead of withdrawal behavior. However, itch and pain sensations share many similarities. Like chronic pain, chronic itch is a major clinical

Partial ablation of mu-opioid receptor rich striosomes produces deficits on a motor-skill learning task.

Lawhorn C, Smith DM, Brown LL (2009) Partial ablation of mu-opioid receptor rich striosomes produces deficits on a motor-skill learning task. Neuroscience 163(1):109-119. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2009.05.021 Summary: The functional role of basal ganglia striosomes is not well understood. In order to examine these cells in the context of motor behavior the authors injected 8.5 ng of

Immunotoxic depletion of microglia in mouse hippocampal slice cultures enhances ischemia-like neurodegeneration.

Montero M, Gonzalez B, Zimmer J (2009) Immunotoxic depletion of microglia in mouse hippocampal slice cultures enhances ischemia-like neurodegeneration. Brain Res 1291:140-152. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2009.06.097 Summary: Data has shown microglia to be both neuroprotective and neurodegenerative in cerebral ischemia. This study presents a method for removing microglia from hippocampal slice cultures. Hippocampal slices from mouse were
