TL;DR: The data suggest that VEGF may modulate endothelial cell-derived MMP activity by increasing the abundance of gelatinase A; disinhibiting gelatinases A by decreasing the abundanceof TIMP-2; and disinhibititing preexisting collagenase by reducing levels of TIMP -1.

TL;DR: The clear differences between these two corticostriatal neuron types in perikaryal size and laminar location in the cortex, and in the size and shape of their intrastriatal terminals, suggest that they may differ in the nature of their influence on the striatum.

TL;DR: The notion that the striatal neurons preferentially projecting to the internal pallidal segment are, in fact, less vulnerable in HD than are the other striatal projection neuron types is supported.

TL;DR: The modern view of avian forebrain organization recognizes that the avian basal ganglia occupies no more of the telencephalon than is typically the case in mammals, and that it plays a role in motor control and motor learning as in mammals.

TL;DR: Findings have implications for understanding how the direct and indirect pathways carry out their respective roles in movement facilitation and movement suppression, and for understanding the role of corticostriatal synaptic plasticity in adaptive motor control by the basal ganglia.
