The effect of tetanic activation corticostriatal glutamatergic fibers was studied in striatal slices by utilizing extracellular and intracellular recording techniques. Tetanic stimulation produced a long- term synaptic depression (LTD) (> 2 h) both extracellularly recorded field potentials intracellularly EPSPs. LTD not coupled with changes intrinsic membrane properties the neurons. In some neurons, repetitive cortical short-term posttetanic potentiation (1–3 min). Subthreshold...
We have studied the effects of tetanic stimulation corticostriatal pathway on amplitude striatal excitatory synaptic potentials. Recordings were obtained from a slice preparation by utilizing both extracellular and intracellular techniques. Under control condition (1.2 mM external Mg2+), postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) evoked cortical reversibly blocked 10 microM 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX), an antagonist dl-alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA)...
ABSTRACT To assess the discriminating power of multiple cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for Parkinson's disease (PD), we measured several proteins playing an important role in pathogenesis. The activities β‐glucocerebrosidase and other lysosomal enzymes, together with total oligomeric α‐synuclein, phosphorylated tau, were thus assessed CSF 71 PD patients compared to 45 neurological controls. Activities β‐glucocerebrosidase, β‐mannosidase, β‐hexosaminidase, β‐galactosidase established...
Neuroinflammation is one of the hallmarks Parkinson's disease (PD) and may contribute to midbrain dopamine (DA) neuron degeneration. Recent studies link chronic inflammation with failure resolve early inflammation, a process operated by specialized pro-resolving mediators, including resolvins. However, effects stimulating resolution in PD - modulate progression still remain unexplored. Here we show that rats overexpressing human α-synuclein (Syn) display altered DA properties, reduced...
