Identifying stable reference genes for evaluation of antioxidative enzyme gene expression in auditory cortex and cochlea of young and old Fischer 344 rats.

30 May 2009 CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the validation of reference genes is important for the accurate evaluation of differential gene expression in age-related hearing loss (AHL). OBJECTIVES: To identify the most stable reference gene in the auditory ... Read more...

Mouse auditory cortex differs from visual and somatosensory cortices in the laminar distribution of cytochrome oxidase and acetylcholinesterase.

19 Nov 2008 Cytochrome oxidase (CYO) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) staining density varies across the cortical layers in many sensory areas. The laminar variations likely reflect differences between the layers in levels of metabolic activity and cholinergic ... Read more...

Evidence for increased NADPH-diaphorase-positive neurons in the central auditory system of the aged rat.

30 May 2008 CONCLUSIONS: The age-related increase in the production of nitric oxide (NO) suggests that this increase was related to neuron aging. Additional studies may provide information regarding aging-related changes in the central auditory system. ... Read more...
