Journal ArticleDOI
Postmortem brain abnormalities of the glutamate neurotransmitter system in autism
TL;DR: Subjects with autism may have specific abnormalities in the AMPA-type glutamate receptors and glutamate transporters in the cerebellum, which may be directly involved in the pathogenesis of the disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
The formation and maturation of synapses in the visual cortex of the rat. II. Quantitative analysis.
Mary E. Blue,John G. Parnavelas +1 more
TL;DR: The observed decrease in the density of type II synaptic contacts is a clear example of synapse elimination in the visual cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor promotes the survival and sprouting of serotonergic axons in rat brain
TL;DR: Investigation of chronic pain parenchymal administration of the neurotrophins brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) or NGF could prevent the severe degenerative loss of serotonergic axons normally caused by the selective 5-HT neurotoxin p-chloroamphetamine (PCA).
Journal ArticleDOI
Apoptosis Has a Prolonged Role in the Neurodegeneration after Hypoxic Ischemia in the Newborn Rat
Wako Nakajima,Akira Ishida,Mary S. Lange,Kathleen L. Gabrielson,Mary Ann Wilson,Lee J. Martin,Mary E. Blue,Michael V. Johnston +7 more
TL;DR: The continued expression of activated caspase-3 and the persistence of cells with an apoptotic morphology for days after HI suggests a prolonged role for apoptosis in neonatal hypoxic ischemic brain injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
BDNF Promotes the Regenerative Sprouting, But Not Survival, of Injured Serotonergic Axons in the Adult Rat Brain
Laura A. Mamounas,C. Anthony Altar,Mary E. Blue,David L. Kaplan,Lino Tessarollo,W. Ernest Lyons +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown here that BDNF fails to protect most 5-HT axons from PCA-induced degeneration, but has a fundamental role in promoting the structural plasticity of these neurons in the adult brain.
