Increased expression of the growth-associated protein 43 gene in the sensorimotor cortex of the macaque monkey after lesioning the lateral corticospinal tract.

18 Oct 2009 To investigate the neural basis for functional recovery of the cerebral cortex following spinal cord injury, we measured the expression of growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43), which is involved in the process of synaptic sprouting. We determined ... Read more...

Double dissociation and hierarchical organization of strategy switches and reversals in the rat PFC.

29 Sep 2009 Prelimbic-infralimbic cortex (PL-IL) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) influence behavioral flexibility in the rat. The authors tested the effects of PL-IL or OFC infusion with the GABA agonist muscimol in the context of 2 flexible responding tasks: ... Read more...

Laminar distribution of the pathological changes in frontal and temporal cortex in 8 patients with progressive supranuclear palsy.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine the laminar distribution of the pathological changes in the cerebral cortex in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). METHOD: The distribution of the abnormally enlarged neurons (EN), surviving neurons, neurofibrillary tangles ... Read more...
