Journal ArticleDOI
Further studies on the use of the fluorescent retrograde tracer True Blue in combination with monoamine histochemistry.
TL;DR: Time-course studies revealed that the size of the injection site and the resulting retrograde labelling is stable up to at least two months after injection and that relatively long survival times are often needed for optimal labelling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival and immunogenicity of dissociated allogeneic fetal neural dopamine-rich grafts when implanted into the brains of adult mice
TL;DR: It is concluded that intracerebrally grafted allogeneic neural tissue is capable of provoking a cellular immune response and demonstrating the immunologically privileged status of the brain.
Journal Article
On the possible existence of a new intraneuronal monoamine in the spinal cord of the rat
TL;DR: Results strongly indicate that this intraneuronal fluorogenic substance is not identical with a catecholamine or 5-hydroxytryptamine, and showed general features characteristic for many indolykthylamines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural grafting in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases.
Anders Björklund,Fred H. Gage +1 more
TL;DR: Work in amphibians and fish was the first to demonstrate the possibilities for neuronal replacement after damage in the central nervous system, and it has been shown that grafted neurons can substitute both structurally and functionally for damaged axonal connections.
Journal ArticleDOI
BDNF over-expression induces striatal serotonin fiber sprouting and increases the susceptibility to l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats.
Elisabetta Tronci,Francesco Napolitano,Ana Muñoz,Camino Fidalgo,Francesca Rossi,Anders Björklund,Alessandro Usiello,Manolo Carta +7 more
TL;DR: This study suggests that BDNF over-expression, by inducing changes in pre-synaptic serotonin axonal trophism, is able to exacerbate maladaptive responses to l-DOPA administration.
