Absence of the nigrosome-1 area in 3 tesla resonance and its relation with hyperechogenicity of the substantia nigra in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To compare the usefulness of two neuroimaging methods (3TMR and MEcho) to assist in the diagnosis of PD. Background: In patients with Parkinson's disease…Substantia nigra hyperechogenicity is similarly enlarged in Gaucher and in GBA mutation carriers
Objective: Testing the role of glycolipid accumulation in the risk for Parkinson's disease. Background: Increased risk for Parkinson's disease is well known among carriers of…Curcumin I protect against copper induced neurobehavioral features of Parkinson’s disease in rat
Objective: evaluate the impact of acute Cu intoxication (10 mg/kg B.W. i.p) for 3 days on the dopaminergic system and locomotor performance, together with the…Neural correlates of movement sequence kinematics in substantia nigra dopaminergic cells
Objective: To develop a new behavioral task for assessment of mice forelimb movements, and evaluate the substantia nigra pars compacta dopaminergic cells’ (SNpc) correlates of…High-mobility group box 1 from astrocytes upregulates TH expression to maintain dopaminergic neurons via JNK pathway in human Parkinson’s disease patients and MPTP induced mouse model
Objective: Supporting by glial cells could be reinforced the function of dopaminergic neurons against extracellular insults in Parkinson’s disease (PD) development. However, we do not…Admixing augments nigral dopaminergic correlates during development to impart resistance to MPTP-toxicity at adulthood
Objective: Establish the developmental basis for varying nigral dopaminergic (DA) correlates in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) susceptible C57BL/6, MPTP resistant CD-1 and their resistant crossbred mice. Background:…Optimization of Synucleinopathy and Nigrostriatal Degeneration Induced by Injection of Alpha-Synuclein Preformed Fibrils into Rat Striatum
Objective: Optimization of the surgical parameters (intrastriatal placement and concentration of alpha-synuclein preformed fibrils; α-syn PFFs) to increase the magnitude of nigrostriatal α-syn pathology and…Tau dysfunction in the basal ganglia of a mouse model of tauopathy related to PSP
Objective: Determine motor coordination and neurochemical phenotypes in the basal ganglia of mice lacking the Tau protein or expressing an abnormal content of Tau isoforms.…Mitochondrial response precedes intracellular accumulation of α-synuclein in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the expression of mitochondrial COX-IV during the progression of Parkinson's disease. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the…F1 crossbreds of C57BL/6 and CD-1 mice demonstrate resistance to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) induced nigral neurodegeneration
Objective: To establish the neural basis of varying susceptibility to MPTP in MPTP resistant CD-1 mice, susceptible C57BL/6 mice and their crossbreds; simulating the variable…
