Fate of septohippocampal neurons following fimbria-fornix transection: a time course analysis.

TLDR
The size (area and diameter) of FG-labeled somata decreased in both the MS and vDB within three weeks following fimbria-fornix transection and remained relatively constant at the six- and ten-week time points.

Physiology of the neurotrophins

TL;DR: Rapid actions of neurotrophin-3 on synaptic efficacy, as well as the regulation of their mRNAs by electrical activity, suggest that neurotrophins might play important roles in regulating neuronal connectivity in the developing and in the adult central nervous system.

Expression, control, and probable functional significance of the neuronal theta-rhythm

TL;DR: Analysis of extracellularly recorded neuronal activity in alert rabbits, intact and after various brain lesions, in slices and transplants of the hippocampus and septum allow one to make the following conclusions.

Effects of estrogen and fimbria/fornix transection on p75NGFR and ChAT expression in the medial septum and diagonal band of Broca.

TL;DR: The data suggest that p75NGFR expression may play a role in regulating the functioning of specific basal forebrain cholinergic neurons and are consistent with the possibility that continuous, long-term exposure to gonadal steroids may contribute to a loss of p75 NGFR-expressing neurons with age.

Specificity of 192 IgG-saporin for NGF receptor-positive cholinergic basal forebrain neurons in the rat

TL;DR: ChAT immunohistochemistry was confirmative of major cell loss in the CBF, while other cholinergic nuclei appeared unremarkable, providing further evidence of the selectivity of 192 IgG-saporin in abolishing cholinerential, NGF receptor-positive CNS neurons.

Use of avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) in immunoperoxidase techniques: a comparison between ABC and unlabeled antibody (PAP) procedures.

TL;DR: The use of avidin-biotin interaction in immunoenzymatic techniques provides a simple and sensitive method to localize antigens in formalin-fixed tissues.

Nerve growth factor promotes survival of septal cholinergic neurons after fimbrial transections

TL;DR: It is suggested that fimbrial transections resulted in retrograde degeneration of cholinergic septo-hippocampal neurons and that NGF treatment strongly attenuated this lesion-induced degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Continuous infusion of nerve growth factor prevents basal forebrain neuronal death after fimbria fornix transection

TL;DR: It is reported here that NGF treatment significantly reduces both the total neuronal and cholinergic neuronal death found 2 weeks after fimbria fornix transection; there was a sparing of 50% of the neurons in the MS and essentially 100% of those in the VDB that otherwise would have died.

The Axon Reaction: A Review of the Principal Features of Perikaryal Responses to Axon Injury

TL;DR: This chapter provides an overview of the principal features of perikaryal responses to axon injury and changes in axotomized neurons are generally assessed by comparison with the corresponding contralateral neurons of the experimental animal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nerve growth factor treatment after brain injury prevents neuronal death

TL;DR: Cholinergic neuronal degeneration after axotomy has been proposed to be due to the loss of a retrogradely transported neurotrophic factor, possibly nerve growth factor (NGF), and NGF was continuously infused into the lateral ventricles of adult rats that had received bilateral lesions of all cholinergic axons projecting from the medial septum to the dorsal hippocampus.
