Endocannabinoid modulation of amphetamine sensitization is disrupted in a rodent model of lesion-induced dopamine dysregulation.

30 Oct 2009 We tested the hypothesis that increased dopaminergic sensitivity induced by olfactory bulbectomy is mediated by dysregulation of endocannabinoid signaling. Bilateral olfactory bulbectomy induces behavioral and neurobiological symptomatology related ... Read more...

Lycopene modulates nitric oxide pathways against 3-nitropropionic acid-induced neurotoxicity.

10 Oct 2009 AIM: The present study has been designed to investigate the involvement of the nitric oxide mechanism in the protective effect of lycopene against 3-nitropropionic acid-induced Huntington's disease-like symptoms in rats. MAIN METHODS: The present ... Read more...

Cocaine exposure in utero alters synaptic plasticity in the medial prefrontal cortex of postnatal rats.

5 Oct 2009 Cocaine exposure during pregnancy causes abnormality in fetal brain development, leading to cognitive dysfunction of the offspring, but the underlying cellular mechanism remains mostly unclear. In this study, we examined synaptic functions in the ... Read more...
