Open AccessOptogenetic stimulation of striatal patches modifies habit formation and inhibits dopamine release
Habits are inflexible behaviors that develop after extensive repetition, and overreliance on habits is a hallmark of many pathological states. The striatum is involved in the transition from flexible to inflex...

Cotransfection of heme oxygenase-1 prevents the acute inflammation elicited by a second adenovirus
The acute inflammatory response elicited by adenovirus vectors results in loss of gene expression and tissue injury in the target organ. This acute inflammation is now believed to be the major limiting factor ...

PrP in pathology and pathogenesis in scrapie-infected mice
PrP accumulation in the brains of mice infected with scrapie takes several different forms: amyloid plaques, widespread accumulation in neuropile, and perineuronal deposits. PrP is also sometimes detected with...

Scrapie inoculation of mice: light and electron microscopy of the superior colliculi
Ultrastructural examination of the superior colliculi of mice intraocularly inoculated with the ME7 strain of scrapie showed vacuolation early in the course of infection. Brains were examined between 85–260 da...

Molecular and Antigenic Architecture of the Antiphagocytic Group A Streptococcal M Protein
The ability of the group A streptococcus to cause human infection is primarily attributable to the M protein, a molecule located on the surface of the cell wall. This protein enables the organism to resist pha...

No evidence for involvement of plasma proteins or blood-borne cells in amyloid plaque formation in scrapie-affected mice
The present study was designed to investigate blood-brain permeability and the possible involvement of plasma proteins and blood-borne cells in amyloid plaque formation in scrapie-affected mice. No abnormal ex...

Degenerative hippocampal pathology in mice infected with scrapie
The lesions of scrapie are confined to the CNS, and the most characteristic histopathological change in mice terminally infected with scrapie is vacuolation. With most laboratory strains of scrapie, one of the...
