Navigation of a Freely Walking Fruit Fly in Infinite Space Using a Transparent Omnidirectional Locomotion Compensator (TOLC)

Animal behavior is an essential element in behavioral neuroscience study. However, most behavior studies in [...]

The Value of In Vitro Binding as Predictor of In Vivo Results: A Case for [18F]FDDNP PET

Caution is warranted when in vitro results of biomarkers labeled with tritium were perfunctorily used [...]

The neural response properties and cortical organization of a rapidly adapting muscle sensory group response that overlaps with the frequencies that elicit the kinesthetic illusion.

Kinesthesia is the sense of limb movement. It is fundamental to efficient motor control, yet [...]

Estradiol impacts the endocannabinoid system in female rats to influence behavioral and structural responses to cocaine

Compared with men, women show enhanced responses to drugs of abuse, and consequently are thought [...]

Brain α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in MPTP-lesioned monkeys and parkinsonian patients

L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias (LID) appear in the majority of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Nicotinic acetylcholine (nACh) [...]

Contribution of brain serotonin subtype 1B receptors in levodopa-induced motor complications

L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias (LID) are abnormal involuntary movements limiting the chronic use of L-DOPA, the main [...]

Cell proliferation is reduced in the hippocampus in schizophrenia

Objective: The molecular and cellular basis of structural and functional abnormalities of the hippocampus found [...]

Impact of immersion oils and mounting media on the confocal imaging of dendritic spines

Structural plasticity, such as changes in dendritic spine morphology and density, reflect changes in synaptic [...]

Insulin sensitizers improve learning and attenuate tau hyperphosphorylation and neuroinflammation in 3xTg-AD mice

Sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a multifactorial metabolic brain disorder characterized by progressive neurodegeneration. Decreased [...]

Intranasal insulin restores insulin signaling, increases synaptic proteins, and reduces Aβ level and microglia activation in the brains of 3xTg-AD mice.

Decreased brain insulin signaling has been found recently in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Intranasal administration of [...]
