Lam TT, Leranth C (2003) Role of the medial septum diagonal band of Broca cholinergic neurons in oestrogen-induced spine synapse formation on hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells of female rats. Eur J Neurosci 17(10):1997-2005. doi: 10.1046/j.1460-9568.2003.02637.x Summary: Estrogen effects on the hippocampus are known to be mediated by subcortical structures. The authors examined the role that […]

Cerebellum 2(4):300-309. doi: 10.1080/14734220310017456 Summary: Traditionally the cerebellum has been associated with motor control, but recent work has suggested that it plays a role in cognitive functions such as spatial learning as well. This study discusses the effects of cerebellar

Neuroreport 14(5):675-678. doi: 10.1097/00001756-200304150-00003 Summary: To investigate the role of the basal ganglia in informational processing of voluntary movement, the authors used SP-SAP (Cat. #IT-07) to lesion SP receptor-expressing neurons in the striatum. A 0.5 µl injection of 40 ng/µl SP-SAP
