Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) occur in 50-90% of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Imbalance of different neurotransmitters (acetylcholine, dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin), involvement of specific brain regions res

Clinical and pathological evidence points to an involvement of dopamine in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The present study was designed to assay dopamine D1-like and D2-like receptors on peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in 20 patients with AD and in 25

The limbic system includes the complex of brain centres, nuclei and connections that provide the anatomical substrate for emotions. Although the presence of small amounts of dopamine (DA) in several limbic structures has been recognized for a long ti

The present study was designed to characterize the pharmacological profile of dopamine D1-like receptors in the rat cerebellar cortex and to assess if these receptor sites undergo age-related changes. Cerebella of young (3 months), adult (12 months),

The influence of aging on the acetylcholine synthesising and the degrading enzymes choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was studied in the hippocampus of male Wstar rats at 2 months (young), 12 months (adult) and 27 months

The main age related changes in visual cortex are reviewed. The visual cortex (occipital cortex, areas 17–19) undergoes a variety of anatomical, biochemical and functional changes with aging. From a morphological point of view the visual cortex los

The rat cerebellar cortex represents an interesting animal model for the analysis of age-dependent changes in brain microanatomy and function. Moreover, the cerebellar cortex contains detectable amounts of nerve growth factor (NGF) and express NGF re

We have recently demonstrated that monolateral lesions of the Nucleus Basalis Magnocellularis (NBM), which is a nucleus sending cholinergic projections to the fronto-parietal cortex, cause a loss in the intensity of Timm staining in the intrahippocam

The influence of aging on the sympathetic innervation of the kidney was studied in 3- (considered to be young), 12- (considered to be adult) and 24- (considered to be old) month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats by means of high pressure liquid chromatogr

Age-related changes in the density of the noradrenergic perivascular plexus supplying the uterine artery and its intrauterine branches were studied in rats 4, 12 and 24 months old using the glyoxylic acid fluorescence technique. Moreover, uterine nor
