Journal ArticleDOI

Radial glial cell heterogeneity--the source of diverse progeny in the CNS.

TL;DR: The possible mechanisms allowing neurogenic radial glial cells to persist into adulthood in various vertebrate classes ranging from fish to birds, while neurogenic glia cells become restricted to few small regions of the adult forebrain in mice and men are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stress Acts Cumulatively To Precipitate Alzheimer's Disease-Like Tau Pathology and Cognitive Deficits

TL;DR: Results from healthy, wild-type, middle-aged rats show that chronic stress and GC induce abnormal hyperphosphorylation of TAU in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, with contemporaneous impairments of hippocampus- and PFC-dependent behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of D2 dopamine receptor-expressing neurons in the nucleus accumbens increases motivation.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the classic view of D1–D2 functional antagonism does not hold true for all dimensions of reward-related behaviours, and that D2 neurons may play a more prominent pro-motivation role than originally anticipated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissociation of the morphological correlates of stress‐induced anxiety and fear

TL;DR: This study shows that chronic stress impacts on the bed nucleus of stria terminalis structure and function; its findings pertain to the modulation of emotional behaviour and the maladaptive response to stress.
