Association of missense and 5′-splice-site mutations in tau with the inherited dementia FTDP-17

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors sequenced tau in FTDP-17 families and identified three missense mutations (G272V, P301L and R406W) and three mutations in the 5' splice site of exon in
Journal ArticleDOI

Glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Mechanisms for the involvement of the NMDA receptor complex and its interaction with polyamines in the pathogenesis of AD are discussed andNMDA receptor antagonists have potential for the therapeutic amelioration of AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Rapid Method for Preparing Synaptosomes - Comparison, with Alternative Procedures

TL;DR: The new preparation method has been found to be of value in metabolic studies of synaptosomes prepared from human post-mortem brain and compared favourably with alternative methods as judged by indices of metabolic and functional performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene expression in human alcoholism: microarray analysis of frontal cortex.

TL;DR: These gene expression changes suggest a mechanism for the loss of cerebral white matter in alcoholics as well as alterations that may lead to the neurotoxic actions of ethanol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterns of gene expression are altered in the frontal and motor cortices of human alcoholics.

TL;DR: Examination of expression patterns in frontal and motor cortices of three groups of chronic alcoholic and matched control cases suggests that multiple pathways may be important for neuropathology and altered neuronal function observed in alcoholism.
