The distribution of GAD67-mRNA in the adult zebrafish (teleost) forebrain reveals a prosomeric pattern and suggests previously unidentified homologies to tetrapods.

18 Oct 2009 We used in situ hybridization on sections to examine the distribution of GAD67-expressing cell populations in the entire forebrain of the adult zebrafish. GAD67 is predominantly expressed in the olfactory bulb (OB), all regions of the subpallium ... Read more...

Overexpression of type I adenylyl cyclase in the forebrain impairs spatial memory in aged but not young mice.

31 Aug 2009 Hippocampus-dependent memory requires a cAMP signal that is generated by Ca2+-stimulated adenylyl cyclases (AC1, AC8). Young transgenic mice overexpressing AC1 in the forebrain (AC1+ mice) have enhanced hippocampal long-term potentiation, superior ... Read more...

IL-6 mediated degeneration of forebrain GABAergic interneurons and cognitive impairment in aged mice through activation of neuronal NADPH oxidase.

11 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Multiple studies have shown that plasma levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) are elevated in patients with important and prevalent adverse health conditions, including atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, ... Read more...
