Interleukin-1β modulates state-dependent discharge activity of preoptic area and basal forebrain neurons: role in sleep regulation
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 2004-07)
Interleukin-1β (IL-1) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the regulation of nonrapid eye movement (nonREM) sleep. IL-1, IL-1 receptors and the IL-1 receptor antagonist (ra) are present normally in ...
Making mirrors: sensorimotor experience directs activation of the mirror system (Commentary on Catmur et al .)

Conditional ablation and recovery of forebrain neurogenesis in the mouse
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-06-20)
Forebrain neurogenesis persists throughout life in the rodent subventricular zone (SVZ) and hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). Several strategies have been employed to eliminate adult neurogenesis and thereby determine whether ...
Dopamine receptor signaling molecules are altered in elderly schizophrenic cortex
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-09-15)
Alterations of molecules that mediate dopaminergic signal transduction have been found in schizophrenia, supporting the hypothesis of altered dopaminergic neurotransmission in this illness. To further explore this hypothesis, ...
Peptide transporter 2 (PEPT2) expression in brain protects against 5-aminolevulinic acid neurotoxicity
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007-12)
Sustained striatal ciliary neurotrophic factor expression negatively affects behavior and gene expression in normal and R6/1 mice
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-06)
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an elongation of CAG repeats in the HD gene, which encodes a mutant copy of huntingtin with an expanded polyglutatmine repeat. Individuals who are ...
Separation of the convulsions and antidepressant-like effects produced by the delta-opioid agonist SNC80 in rats
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-11)
Delta-opioid agonists produce a number of behavioral effects, including convulsions, antinociception, locomotor stimulation, and antidepressant-like effects. The development of these compounds as treatments for depression ...
Up-regulation of NMDA receptor subunit and post-synaptic density protein expression in the thalamus of elderly patients with schizophrenia
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006-08)
Numerous studies have described structural and functional abnormalities of the thalamus in schizophrenia, but surprisingly few studies have examined neurochemical abnormalities that accompany these pathological changes. ...

Distinct populations of presympathetic-premotor neurons express orexin or melanin-concentrating hormone in the rat lateral hypothalamus
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-12-10)
Orexin and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) have been implicated in mediating a variety of different behaviors. These include sleep and wakefulness, locomotion, ingestive behaviors, and fight-or-flight response, as well ...
