Subtypes of substance P receptor immunoreactive interneurons in the basolateral amygdala

Mania I, Levita L, Rainnie DG (2002) Subtypes of substance P receptor immunoreactive interneurons in the basolateral amygdala. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 637.8. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: Neurotoxic lesions of substance P receptor immunoreactive (SPR-IR) interneurons in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) using SP-saporin reduce anxiety related behavior. These lesions might provide a way to […]

Basal forebrain cholinergic neurons are necessary for estrogen to enhance acquisition of a delayed matching-to-position T-maze task.

Gibbs RB (2002) Basal forebrain cholinergic neurons are necessary for estrogen to enhance acquisition of a delayed matching-to-position T-maze task. Horm Behav 42(3):245-257. doi: 10.1006/hbeh.2002.1825 Summary: The author investigated the role of cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain in cognitive function using a long-term hormone replacement model in rats. Septal infusions of either 1.0 µg

Selective joint denervation promotes knee osteoarthritis in the aging rat.

Salo PT, Hogervorst T, Seerattan RA, Rucker D, Bray RC (2002) Selective joint denervation promotes knee osteoarthritis in the aging rat. J Orthop Res 20(6):1256-1264. doi: 10.1016/S0736-0266(02)00045-1 Summary: Noting that mice lose joint afferents with aging, and that this loss precedes osteoarthritis development, the authors investigated the effects of denervating the knee joints of young

Androgen manipulation protects remaining motoneurons from dendritic atrophy after induced motoneuron death.

Fargo KN, Sengelaub DR (2002) Androgen manipulation protects remaining motoneurons from dendritic atrophy after induced motoneuron death. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 466.13. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: Androgen treatment facilitates axon regrowth after axotomy of facial and sciatic motoneurons, and reverses castration-induced dendritic atrophy in motoneurons of the spinal nucleus of the bulbocavernosus (SNB) in

Developmental regulation of GABA Receptor subunits requires subplate neurons.

Kanold PO, Shatz CJ (2002) Developmental regulation of GABA Receptor subunits requires subplate neurons. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 530.11. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: Subplate neurons (SP) are required for formation and patterning of thalamocortical connections. In visual cortex, SP ablation before the onset of the critical period, but when LGN axons are already in

Reduction of microglia cell populations before induction of excitotoxicity reduces neurodegeneration.

Sheehan JJ, Tsirka SE (2002) Reduction of microglia cell populations before induction of excitotoxicity reduces neurodegeneration. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 606.9. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: Excitotoxicity is thought to be a component of many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s and stroke. In excitotoxicity, as well as other injury models, microglia have been found to have
