Modulation of microglia function in the prion-like spreading of α-synuclein in the murine brain
Objective: We aimed to analyze the influence of two microglia-related pathways on the accumulation of α-synuclein aggregates and neurodegeneration after intracerebral injection of sonicated murine…Neurodegeneration and microgliosis are independent of α-synuclein aggregation in a mouse model of "prion-like" α-synuclein speading
Objective: Our aim was to test if α-synclein aggregation drives neuronal demise and microglial activation in a murine model of induced-α-synucleinopathy. Background: Pathological α-synuclein aggregates…Role of macroautophagy in regulating microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and dopaminergic neuron injury
Objective: To investigate the potential role of macroautophagy in the regulation of microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and dopamine neuron injury. Background: Chronic neuroinflammation, a process mediated by…The impact of levodopa and apomorphine on beta- and gamma-oscillations in cortico-basal ganglia circuits in experimental parkinsonism
Objective: To clarify the role of pathologic oscillations in Parkinson's disease (PD) we recorded local field potentials (LFPs) in cortico-basal ganglia circuits of Parkinsonian and…Lymphocytes have a detrimental effect on motor behavior in the AAV1/2 A53T α-synuclein mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the contribution of the adaptive immune system in the pathogenesis of a mouse model of Parkinson's disease (PD) based on AAV1/2 driven…Lewy body extracts from Parkinson’s disease brains as models for high-throughput screens of neurotoxicity and α-synuclein spreading from cell-to-cell
Objective: To validate the effect of Lewy body extracts from Parkinson's disease (PD) brains in high-throughput screens of neurotoxicity and the α-synuclein (α-syn) spreading from…The contribution of the subthalamic nucleus in gait initiation of subjects with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We investigated the contribution of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in gait initiation of subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Gait initiation is the transient…Parkinson’s disease motor subtypes show similar deficits in inhibitory control
Objective: To determine whether predominant motor subtypes of Parkinson's disease (PD) differentially impact distinct forms of inhibitory motor control. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) impairs rapid…Effects of Arachidonyl-2′-chloroethylamide (ACEA), a selective CB1 receptor agonist, in MPTP mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Cannabinoids have been demonstrated to be effective in preclinical studies involving oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and motor complications associated with Parkinson's disease (PD).The CB1 cannabinoid…Alpha-synuclein – super-resolution microscopy reveals potential new role of alpha-synuclein at the pre-synapse
Objective: Alpha-synuclein is a major key player in Parkinson's disease, however its physiological function still remains elusive. Using super-resolution microscopy this study aims to analyse…
