Brain edema formation and neurological impairment after subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats. Laboratory investigation.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Global cerebral edema is an independent risk factor for early death and poor outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In the present study, the time course of brain edema formation, neurological deficits, and neuronal cell loss were ... Read more...

ELKS2alpha/CAST deletion selectively increases neurotransmitter release at inhibitory synapses.

27 Oct 2009 The presynaptic active zone is composed of a protein network that contains ELKS2alpha (a.k.a. CAST) as a central component. Here we demonstrate that in mice, deletion of ELKS2alpha caused a large increase in inhibitory, but not excitatory, ... Read more...

SUN1/2 and Syne/Nesprin-1/2 complexes connect centrosome to the nucleus during neurogenesis and neuronal migration in mice.

27 Oct 2009 Nuclear movement is critical during neurogenesis and neuronal migration, which are fundamental for mammalian brain development. Although dynein, Lis1, and other cytoplasmic proteins are known for their roles in connecting microtubules to the nucleus ... Read more...
