Angelman syndrome: current understanding and research prospects.

30 Oct 2009 Angelman syndrome is a neurogenetic disorder characterized by developmental delay, severe intellectual disability, absent speech, exuberant behavior with happy demeanor, motor impairment, and epilepsy, due to deficient UBE3A gene expression that may ... Read more...

MDMA pretreatment leads to mild chronic unpredictable stress-induced impairments in spatial learning.

29 Sep 2009 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a drug of abuse worldwide and a selective serotonin (5-HT) neurotoxin. An important factor in the risk of drug abuse and relapse is stress. Although multiple parallels exist between MDMA abuse and stress, ... Read more...

Baseline CSF p-tau levels independently predict progression of hippocampal atrophy in Alzheimer disease.

20 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether baseline CSF biomarkers are associated with hippocampal atrophy rate as a measure of disease progression in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD), patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and controls, ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Hippocampus'

Definition: A curved elevation of gray matter extending the entire length of the floor of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle (Dorland, 28th ed). The hippocampus, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.
