Terminal dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) positive cells in the different regions of the brain in normal aging and alzheimer patients
This study investigated terminal dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL)-positive cells in the frontal, occipital, and hippocampal cortices of seven normal aging and four Alzheimer’s patients. Significant increase in T...

A Rabbit Model of Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy Induced by Injection of Astrocytic Cultures
1.The objective of this study was to decipher whether proliferation of astrocytes and invasion of astrocytic processes into the retina could contribute to retinal detachment in a rabbit model.

Analysis of Gene Expression Following Sciatic Nerve Crush and Spinal Cord Hemisection in the Mouse by Microarray Expression Profiling
1. The responses of periphery (PNS) and central nervous systems (CNS) towards nerve injury are different: while injured mammalian periphery nerons can successfully undergo regeneration, axons in the central ne...

A Cytological Study on the Development of the Different Types of Visual Cells in the Chicken (Gallus domesticus)
The formation of visual cells and their intracellular organelles was studied in the embryonic chicken (Gallus domesticus) between stage 36 and hatching. Cilia formation was observed at stage 30 and by stage 42, o...

Novel Identification of the Different Types of Cones in the Retina of the Chicken
1. Although single cones and double cones in the chicken retina had been documented for more than 30 years, the exact morphology of these cells had never been studied by the scanning electronmicroscopy. In thi...

Distribution of Neuropeptide Y-Immunoreactive Neurons in the Human Brainstem, Cerebellum, and Cortex During Development
1. Neuropeptide Y is found throughout the central nervous system where it appears to play a wide range of often poorly understood functions. In this study, the distribution of neuropeptide Y immunoreactive (NP...

Three-dimensional reconstruction of brain surface anatomy based on magnetic resonance imaging diffusion-weighted imaging: A new approach
Fifty normal noninfarct patients and 12 cases with infarcts of the cerebrum were examined with routine magnetic resonance imaging and echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging. The diffusion-weighted three-dimens...

A fMRI Study of Age-Related Differential Cortical Patterns During Cued Motor Movement
Healthy adults of three age groups (young, middle-age and older) were cued by a multimedia projector to perform a series of simple (making a fist, opening/closing of the mouth) and complex (opposition of index...

The Postnatal Development of the Cerebellum— A fMRI and Silver Study
The aim of this study was to evaluate the postnatal development of the cerebella of the pig and to compare this with the activation of the fMRI. The cells in the cerebella were studied by silver technique and ...

bcl2, bax and nestin in the brains of patients with neurodegeneration and those of normal aging
This study was conducted by employing specimens from the frontal cortices of Alzheimer, multiple-infarct dementia patients, and those of normal aging (age matched to patients). The objective was to evaluate an...

Open AccessSerotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT6 receptors in the prefrontal cortex of Alzheimer and normal aging patients
It has been hypothesized that alterations of the serotonergic system contribute to neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer disease (AD). Cellular expressions of the two serotonergic receptors 5-HT2A and 5-HT6 have...

Changes of brain activity in the aged SAMP mouse
This study investigates characteristics of aging in the central nervous system of the senescence accelerated prone mice (SAMP8). We examined 3 and 10-months old senescence-accelerated-prone mice (SAMP8) for fu...

Article
Mitochondrial dysfunction in platelets and hippocampi of senescence-accelerated mice
Senescence-accelerated mice (SAM) strains are useful models to understand the mechanisms of age-dependent degeneration. In this study, measurements of the mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) of platelets and t...
