Endocannabinoid LTD in Accumbal D1 Neurons Mediates Reward-Seeking Behavior
(Cell Press, 2020-03-27)
The nucleus accumbens (NAc) plays a key role in drug-related behavior and natural reward learning. Synaptic plasticity in dopamine D1 and D2 receptor medium spiny neurons (MSNs) of the NAc and the endogenous cannabinoid ...
High resolution imaging to unveil the subcellular layout of the cannabinoid type-1 receptor in rodent models of brain disease
(2020-02-28)
The present Thesis focuses on the description of new subcellular localizations of CB1 receptors in normal brain and the study of the CB1 receptor expression in certain pathophysiological states. Different histological ...
P2X7 Receptors as a Therapeutic Target in Cerebrovascular Diseases
(Frontiers Media, 2020-06-18)
Shortage of oxygen and nutrients in the brain induces the release of glutamate and ATP that can cause excitotoxicity and contribute to neuronal and glial damage. Our understanding of the mechanisms of ATP release and ...
An Overground Robotic Gait Training Program for People With Multiple Sclerosis: A Protocol for a Randomized Clinical Trial
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Maintaining the ability to walk is one of the significant challenges in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) for keeping a good quality of life as the disease and the aging process progresses. Overground robotic (OR) wearable ...
Gene Expression Analysis of Astrocyte and Microglia Endocannabinoid Signaling during Autoimmune Demyelination
(MDPI, 2020-08-24)
The endocannabinoid system is associated with protective effects in multiple sclerosis (MS) that involve attenuated innate immune cell responses. Astrocytes and microglia are modulated by endocannabinoids and participate ...
Translating big data to better treatment in bipolar disorder - a manifesto for coordinated action
(Elsevier, 2020-06-12)
[EN] Bipolar disorder (BD) is a major healthcare and socio-economic challenge. Despite its substan- tial burden on society, the research activity in BD is much smaller than its economic impact appears to demand. There is ...
In vivo PET Imaging of Gliogenesis After Cerebral Ischemia in Rats
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07-30)
In vivopositron emission tomography of neuroinflammation has mainly focused on the evaluation of glial cell activation using radiolabeled ligands. However, the non-invasive imaging of neuroinflammatory cell proliferation ...
CLR01 Protects Dopaminergic Neurons in Vitro and in Mouse Models of Parkinson's Disease
(Nature, 2020-09-28)
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects millions of patients worldwide and is characterized by alpha-synuclein aggregation in dopamine neurons. Molecular tweezers have shown high potential as anti-aggregation agents targeting ...
Autonomic dysfunction is associated with neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric impairment in patients with Lewy body diseases
(Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, 2020-03-13)
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association of autonomic dysfunction with cognition, depression, apathy, and fatigue in Lewy body disease (LBD).
Methods: We included 61 patients [49 with idiopathic Parkinson’s ...
Age‐related cognitive decline in myotonic dystrophy type 1: An 11‐year longitudinal follow‐up study
(Wiley, 2020-03)
Background Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an inherited multi-systemic disease involving the central nervous system (CNS) and is consequently characterized by a range of cognitive impairments. However, whether this ...
