Expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor is not modulated by chronic mild stress in the rat hippocampus and amygdala

Pierre Magistretti, Jean-Luc Martin, Igor Allaman

Accumulating evidence supports a role for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in depression. However, most of these studies have been performed in animal models that have a low face validity with regard to the human disease. Here, we examined the regu ...

The monocarboxylate transporter MCT2 belongs to a large family of membrane proteins involved in the transport of lactate, pyruvate and ketone bodies. Although its expression in rodent brain has been well documented, the presence of MCT2 in the human brain ...

Human cerebral cortex contains an uncertain number of structurally segregated regions interconnected by a dense network of axonal pathways. Using DSI, we map these pathways in individual human subjects. An analysis of the resulting large-scale structural b ...

Interaction between Reelin and Notch signaling regulates neuronal migration in the cerebral cortex

Freddy Radtke

Neuronal migration is a fundamental component of brain development whose failure is associated with various neurological and psychiatric disorders. Reelin is essential for the stereotypical inside-out sequential lamination of the neocortex, but the molecul ...

Delta-like 1 participates in the specification of ventral midbrain progenitor derived dopaminergic neurons

Patrick Aebischer, Manuel Bauer

Delta-like 1 (Dlk1), a member of the Delta/Notch protein family, is expressed in the mouse ventral midbrain (VM) as early as embryonic day 11.5 (E11.5) followed by exclusive expression in tyrosine 3-monooxygenase (TH) positive neurons from E12.5 onwards. T ...

BACKGROUND: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal, progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by rapid loss of muscle control and eventual paralysis due to the death of large motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Growth factors such ...

GDNF delivery using human neural progenitor cells in a rat model of ALS

Patrick Aebischer

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive loss of spinal cord, brainstem, and cortical motor neurons. In a minority of patients, the disease is caused by mutations in the copper (2+)/zinc (2+) sup ...

2005

Huntington's disease (HD) is a monogenic neurodegenerative disease that affects the efferent neurons of the striatum. The protracted evolution of the pathology over 15 to 20 years, after clinical onset in adulthood, underscores the potential of therapeutic ...

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor stimulates energy metabolism in developing cortical neurons

Jean-Luc Martin, Igor Allaman, Jean-Yves Chatton

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promotes the biochemical and morphological differentiation of selective populations of neurons during development. In this study we examined the energy requirements associated with the effects of BDNF on neuronal di ...

GDNF and NGF released by synthetic guidance channels support sciatic nerve regeneration across a long gap

Patrick Aebischer, Eric Garrison Fine

The present work was performed to determine the ability of neurotrophic factors to allow axonal regeneration across a 15-mm-long gap in the rat sciatic nerve. Synthetic nerve guidance channels slowly releasing NGF and GDNF were fabricated and sutured to th ...
