TL;DR: It is shown that viral infection of adult hippocampal neurons induces complement-mediated elimination of presynaptic terminals in a murine WNV neuroinvasive disease model, which provides a new murine model of WNV-induced spatial memory impairment, and identifies a potential mechanism underlying neurocognitive impairment in patients recovering from WNV Neuroinvasive Disease.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that anandamide has biological and behavioral effects in awake rodents, some of which are similar to the reported actions of THC.

TL;DR: Voluntarily exercising rats ran in running wheels attached to their home cage for 7 weeks prior to and throughout testing, and took 30% fewer trials to acquire criterion performance than sedentary controls, but group differences were not apparent.

TL;DR: It is suggested that anti-inflammatory treatment targeted for cerebral microvascular amyloid-induced microglial activation can improve cognitive deficits without altering the accumulation and distribution of Aβ.

TL;DR: It is shown that brains that lose MeCP2 at these two different stages are actively shrinking, resulting in higher than normal neuronal cell density and that mature dendritic arbors of pyramidal neurons are severely retracted and d endritic spine density is dramatically reduced.
