Alpha Lipoic Acid ameliorates THIM-induced prefrontal cell loss and abnormal enzymatically contents in the developing rat
In conclusion, neonatal exposure to THIM can induce abnormal alterations in neuroimmune cells and brain cell density as well as prefrontal cortex volume & glutathione content, and ALA can ameliorate these abnormalities. (Source: Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy)

Swimming reduces fatty acids-associated hypothalamic damage in mice
Publication date: Available online 11 November 2019Source: Journal of Chemical NeuroanatomyAuthor(s): Pedro Augusto Silva Nogueira, Miriam Pimenta Pereira, Jeferson José Gomes Soares, Juliana de Assis Silva Gomes, Daniele Lisboa Ribeiro, Daniela Soares Razolli, Licio Augusto Velloso, Morun Bernardino Neto, Renata Graciele ZanonAbstractThe arcuate and the paraventricular and lateral hypothalamic nuclei, related to hunger and satiety control, are generally compromised by excess fatty acids. In this situation, fatty acids cause inflammation via TLR4 (toll like receptor 4) and the nuclei become less responsive to the hormones...

Maternal exposure to busulfan reduces the cell number in the somatosensory cortex associated with delayed somatic and reflex maturation in neonatal rats
Publication date: Available online 7 November 2019Source: Journal of Chemical NeuroanatomyAuthor(s): Henrique J.C.B. Gouveia, Raul Manhães-de-Castro, Bárbara J.R. Costa-de-Santana, Carolina R. Mendonça, Glayciele Leandro de Albuquerque, Diego Bulcão Visco, Diego Cabral Lacerda, Ana Elisa ToscanoAbstractBusulfan is a bifunctional alkylating agent used for myeloablative conditioning and in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia due to its ability to cause DNA damage. However, in rodent experiments, busulfan presented a potential teratogenic and cytotoxic effect. Studies have evaluated the effects of busulfan on fetuse...

Serotonin systems in three socially communicating teleost species, the grunting toadfish (Allenbatrachus grunniens), a South American marine catfish (Ariopsis seemannii), and the upside-down catfish (Synodontis nigriventris)
Publication date: Available online 6 November 2019Source: Journal of Chemical NeuroanatomyAuthor(s): Elisabeth Rosner, Boris P. Chagnaud, Mario F. WullimannAbstractWe investigated immunohistochemically the distribution of serotonergic cell populations in three teleost species (one toadfish, Allenbatrachus grunniens, and two catfishes, Synodontis nigriventris and Ariopsis seemanni). All three species exhibited large populations of 5-HT positive neurons in the paraventricular organ (PVO) and the dorsal (Hd) and caudal (Hc) periventricular hypothalamic zones, plus a smaller one in the periventricular pretectum, a few cells in...

Fluoxetine attenuates stress-induced depressive-like behavior through modulation of hippocampal GAP43 and neurogenesis in male rats
This study provides evidence that fluoxetine is a potent enhancer of GAP-43, a protein related to the neuronal plasticity, in the hippocampus of the rat model of depression. Interestingly, our results showed that although fluoxetine significantly is effective in increasing BrdU positive cells, it is more effective in increasing the neurite formation compared with neurogenesis.The results support the idea that antidepressants can promote neuronal plasticity. We concluded that the increase of GAP-43- induced neurite formation may be an important mechanism by which fluoxetine augments hippocampal neuroplasticity and play its ...

Conditioned medium obtained from human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells attenuates focal cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion injury in rats by targeting mTOR pathway
Publication date: Available online 28 October 2019Source: Journal of Chemical NeuroanatomyAuthor(s): Donya Nazarinia, Nahid Aboutaleb, Raheleh Gholamzadeh, Solmaz Nasseri Maleki, Behnaz Mokhtari, Mahin NikougoftarAbstractConditioned medium obtained from human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSC-CM) was recently shown to have many antioxidant, antiapoptotic and proangiogenic growth factors. The present study was performed to investigate whether protective effects of hAMSC-CM against focal cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion (I/R) injury is associated with modulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway.A rat mo...

Tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive neurons in the brain of tadpole of the narrow mouthed frog Microhyla ornata
In this study, we report the distribution of catecholaminergic neurons in different areas of the brain in the tadpole of Microhyla ornata at metamorphic climax stage. Application of antisera against tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) revealed the presence of catecholaminergic cells and fibres in the olfactory bulb, the telencephalon, the diencephalon, the mesencephalon, the spinal cord and the pituitary gland. Whereas densest aggregations of TH-ir fibres were noticed in the nucleus accumbens and the amygdala pars medialis regions of the telencephalon, highest population of TH-ir cells with dorsolaterally and rostrocaudally oriented...

Reproductive status-dependent dynorphin and neurokinin B gene expression in female Damaraland mole-rats
Publication date: Available online 24 October 2019Source: Journal of Chemical NeuroanatomyAuthor(s): Cornelia Voigt, Nigel BennettAbstractDamaraland mole rats (Fukomys damarensis) are cooperatively breeding, subterranean mammals, which exhibit high reproductive skew. Reproduction is monopolized by the dominant female of the group, while subordinates are physiologically suppressed. The blockade of reproduction results from an inhibition of ovulation, which is caused by inadequate secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary, which in turn might be brought about by a disruption of the normal GnRH secretion from t...

“Anatomical mechanism of ideation, association and attention” [1895] and “Certain points in neurological histophysiology” [1896]: Cajal’s conjectures, then and now
Publication date: Available online 9 October 2019Source: Journal of Chemical NeuroanatomyAuthor(s): Elena I. Antonakou, Lazaros C. TriarhouAbstractThe purpose of this article is two-fold: first, to preserve, in updated English translations, two theoretical papers written by Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852–1934) in 1895 and 1896 under the titles, “Conjectures on the anatomical mechanism of ideation, association and attention” and “Conjectural interpretations of certain points in neurological histophysiology”; and second, to set some of the ideas proposed by Cajal in a modern perspective. In his “Conjectures,” Ca...
