Synapse or dendritic spine loss is the strongest correlate of cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), but not amyloid-β plaques, associate more closely with transition to mild cognitive impairment. Yet, h

SUMMARY Synapses in the developing brain are structurally dynamic but become stable by early adulthood. We demonstrate here that an α5-subunit-containing laminin stabilizes synapses during this developmental transition. Hippocampal neurons deposit l

Animal models of relapse reveal that the motivation to seek drug is regulated by enduring morphological and physiological changes in the nucleus accumbens, as well as transient synaptic potentiation in the accumbens core (NAcore) that parallels drug-

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with the progressive loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. Levodopa is the most effective treatment for the motor symptoms of PD. However, chronic oral levodopa treatment can l

Nicotine abuse and addiction is a major health liability. Nicotine, an active alkaloid in tobacco, is self-administered by animals and produces cellular adaptations in brain regions associated with drug reward, such as the nucleus accumbens. However,

A sex difference has been reported in the responsiveness of the vomeronasal (VN) system to pheromones. In the present study, to clarify a direct and acute influence of 17β-estradiol (E2) on the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) neurons, we investigated

Protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent signaling cascades play an important role in mediating the effects of dopamine and other neurotransmitters in striatal medium spiny neurons. We have identified a prominent striatal PKA substrate as Rap1-GTPase activat

The proximate cause of Parkinson's disease is striatal dopamine depletion. Although no overt toxicity to striatal neurons has been reported in Parkinson's disease, one of the consequences of striatal dopamine loss is a decrease in the number of dendr

Ca 2+ -calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a serine/threonine protein kinase critically involved in synaptic plasticity in the brain. It is highly concentrated in the postsynaptic density fraction, exceeding the amount of any other sig

Early postnatal anesthesia causes long-lasting learning and memory impairment in rodents, however, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. We tested a hypothesis that clinically relevant ...
