Alpha-Synuclein Cell-to-Cell Transfer and Seeding in Grafted Dopaminergic Neurons In Vivo

TL;DR: Frequent transfer of α-synuclein from a rat brain engineered to overexpress human α- synuclein to grafted dopaminergic neurons is demonstrated and a new model system could be used to test compounds that inhibit cell-to-cell transfer and therefore might retard progression of Parkinson neuropathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ventricular proliferation zones in the brain of an adult teleost fish and their relation to neuromeres and migration (secondary matrix) zones.

TL;DR: Zones containing actively dividing cells (proliferation zones: PZs), in the brain of adult three‐spined sticklebacks, were identified by autoradiographic detection of 3H‐thymidine and immunocytochemical detection of the thymidine analogue 5'‐bromodeoxyuridine by monoclonal antibodies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution of 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) in the brain of the teleost Gasterosteus aculeatus L.

TL;DR: The distribution of serotoninergic neurons in the brain of the three‐spined stickleback was demonstrated with the indirect peroxidase‐antiperoxidases (PAP) immunohistochemical method with antibodies against serotonin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypophysiotrophic systems in the brain of the Atlantic salmon. Neuronal innervation of the pituitary and the origin of pituitary dopamine and nonapeptides identified by means of combined carbocyanine tract tracing and immunocytochemistry

TL;DR: The present data suggest that the preoptic nucleus and the anterior periventricular nucleus in teleosts possess functional subdivisions with features that resemble those of the paraventricular, supraoptic and suprachiasmatic nuclei of other vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of photosensory pineal organs in new light: the fate of neuroendocrine photoreceptors

TL;DR: A new hypothesis of pineal evolution is proposed, in which the old notion 'gradual regression within the sensory cell line' should be replaced with 'changes in fate restriction within the neural lineage of the pineal field'.
