TrkB Signaling Modulates Spine Density and Morphology Independent of Dendrite Structure in Cultured Neonatal Purkinje Cells
TL;DR: A role for TrkB signaling in modulating spine development is revealed, consistent with recently reported effects of neurotrophins on synaptic function, and spine development can be uncoupled from dendrite outgrowth in this reductionist system of purified presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inbred SAM-P/10 as a mouse model of spontaneous, inherited brain atrophy.
TL;DR: Senescence Accelerated Mouse (SAM-P/10) can serve as a spontaneous animal model of brain atrophy for a variety of studies of aging of the brain and a better understanding of neurodegenerative diseases with dementia should be forthcoming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-related increase of superoxide generation in the brains of mammals and birds
Toru Sasaki,Keiko Unno,Shoichi Tahara,Atsuyoshi Shimada,Yoichi Chiba,Minoru Hoshino,Takao Kaneko +6 more
TL;DR: The rate of age‐related increases of superoxide‐dependent chemiluminescence was inversely related to the maximum lifespan of the animals and suggested that superoxide production itself may increase with age, and speculated that reactive oxygen may be a signal to determine the aging process.

Fluorometric Examination of Tissue Amyloid Fibrils in Murine Senile Amyloidosis: Use of the Fluorescent Indicator, Thioflavine T
Hironobu Naiki,Keiichi Higuchi,Kaori Kitagawa,Atsuyoshi Shimada,When-Hsi Chen,Masanori Hosokawa,Kazuya Nakakuki,Toshio Takeda +7 more
TL;DR: Thioflavine T, a fluorescent indicator of amyloid fibrils, has been tested in unfractionated tissue homogenates and is of practical use for the determination of fASSAM concentrations in the tissue.
