Transneuronal Propagation of Pathologic α-Synuclein from the Gut to the Brain Models Parkinson's Disease.

TLDR
This study supports the Braak hypothesis in the etiology of idiopathic Parkinson's disease by assessing α- synucleinopathy in the brain in a novel gut-to-brain α-syn transmission mouse model, where pathologicalα-syn preformed fibrils were injected into the duodenal and pyloric muscularis layer.

The gut microbiota-brain axis in behaviour and brain disorders.

TL;DR: Emerging and exciting evidence of intricate and crucial connections between the gut microbiota and the brain involving multiple biological systems, and possible contributions by the Gut microbiota to neurological disorders are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The gut microbiome in neurological disorders.

TL;DR: Research into the role of the gut microbiome in modulating brain function has rapidly increased over the past 10 years, albeit chiefly in animal models, and interpretation of such data is often difficult given that the composition of the microbiome is influenced by various factors such as diet and exercise.

NAD+ in Brain Aging and Neurodegenerative Disorders

TL;DR: In this article, the role of NAD+ and related metabolites in the adaptation of neurons to a wide range of physiological stressors and in counteracting processes in neurodegenerative diseases, such as those occurring in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington diseases, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Inflammation in Parkinson’s Disease: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications

TL;DR: A systematic review of the cellular mediators, i.e., microglia, astroglia and endothelial cells, and the genetic and transcriptional control of inflammation in PD and the immunomodulatory role of dopamine and reactive oxygen species is provided.

Staging of brain pathology related to sporadic Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: This study traces the course of the pathology in incidental and symptomatic Parkinson cases proposing a staging procedure based upon the readily recognizable topographical extent of the lesions.

Morris water maze: procedures for assessing spatial and related forms of learning and memory

TL;DR: The Morris water maze has proven to be a robust and reliable test that is strongly correlated with hippocampal synaptic plasticity and NMDA receptor function and trial-dependent, latent and discrimination learning can be assessed using modifications of the basic protocol.

The tail suspension test: A new method for screening antidepressants in mice

TL;DR: A novel test procedure for antidepressants was designed in which a mouse is suspended by the tail from a lever, the movements of the animal being recorded, and the test can separate the locomotor stimulant doses from antidepressant doses.

Behavioural despair in rats: a new model sensitive to antidepressant treatments.

TL;DR: Positive findings with atypical antidepressant drugs such as iprindole and mianserin suggest that the method may be capable of discovering new antidepressants hitherto undetectable with classical pharmacological tests.
