Decreased Striatal Monoaminergic Terminals
We used (+)[llC]dihydrotetrabenazine, a new ligand for the type 2 vesicular monoamine transporter, with positron emission tomography to study striatal monoaminergic presynaptic terminals in 7 male severe chronic alcoholic subjects without Wernicke-Korsakoff disease compared with 7 male normal controls of similar ages. We found reduced specific binding in the caudate nucleus and putamen in the a...
متن کاملNeuron to Nerve Terminals: Aspects of Neuropathology and Toxicology
The nervous system is highly plastic. Its development and maturation is characterised by neuronal proliferation, specialisation and loss and the sorting of synaptic connectivity. Transmission (chemical and electrical), receptor and ion channel transcription and distribution all contribute to the emerging selectivity of action. Numerous factors – especially genetic and autoimmune – and extrinsic...

Maintaining the connections between nerve cells and muscle could help to slow the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
متن کاملSensory neuron signaling to the brain: properties of transmitter release from olfactory nerve terminals.
Olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) convey sensory information directly to the CNS via conventional glutamatergic synaptic contacts in olfactory bulb glomeruli. To better understand the process by which information contained in the odorant-evoked firing of ORNs is transmitted to the brain, we examined the properties of glutamate release from olfactory nerve (ON) terminals in slices of the rat olf...
متن کاملNerve terminal damage in cerebral ischemia: greater susceptibility of catecholamine nerve terminals relative to serotonin nerve terminals.
The energy-dependent uptake of (3H)-dopamine (DA), (3H)-norepinephrine (NE) and (3H)-serotonin (5-HT) was measured in synaptosomes isolated from either the whole cerebral hemispheres or the striata of gerbils after cerebral ischemia. Ischemic stroke was induced in the Mongolian gerbil by left common carotid ligation. Uptake values in the affected hemisphere (expressed as a percent of the corres...
