Galanin inhibits caerulein-stimulated pancreatic amylase secretion via cholinergic nerves and insulin.

2 Jun 2009 Pancreatic exocrine secretion is affected by galanin, but the mechanisms involved are unclear. We aimed to determine the effect and elucidate the mechanism of action of exogenous galanin on basal and stimulated pancreatic amylase secretion in vitro. ... Read more...

Cognitive functions in a patient with Parkinson-dementia syndrome undergoing deep brain stimulation.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Dementia represents one of the most challenging health problems. Despite intense research, available therapies have thus far only achieved modest results. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment option for some movement ... Read more...

The role of the p75 neurotrophin receptor in cholinergic dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease.

18 May 2009 Degeneration of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons is a common feature of Alzheimer's disease and is proposed to be an early and key event in the condition's etiology. This review discusses recent findings that strongly link the p75 neurotrophin ... Read more...
