Histochemical localization of zinc in the retina cells of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) fed different presentations of zinc
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
Graphical Abstract
Using silver autometallography histological technique we were able to visualize the amount of zinc deposited in sea bream retina fed diets containing zinc in different presentations. The precipitates were found in different retinal layers, e.g., in the photoreceptors layer (rod & cones) showed here.
Differently from other species, inner and outer retina showed similar concentration and zinc precipitates were found in the retinal ganglion cell layer. (Source: Synapse)

A dense cluster of D1+ cells in the mouse nucleus accumbens
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
The use of double BAC transgenic mice has allowed us to discover a peculiar cluster of densely‐packed D1+ cells located in the shell compartment of the murine nucleus accumbens. This spherical cluster was found to be exclusively composed of mature GABAergic D1+ neurons that are devoid of calbindin and DARPP‐32, and intimately linked together through GAP junctions.

Low Startle Magnitude May Be a Behavioral Marker of Vulnerability to Cocaine Addiction
Graphical Abstract Text
Cocaine addicted men have low startle magnitude persisting during prolonged abstinence. Low startle rats show greater cocaine self‐administration than high startle rats. Low startle may be a marker of a vulnerability to heightened cocaine‐related behaviors in rats and similarly may be a marker of vulnerability to cocaine addiction in humans. (Source: Synapse)

Probing electrical tuning of hair cells with a Zap current method in the intact amphibian papilla of bullfrogs
In conclusion, the new Zap current method provides an unbiased way to assess electrical tuning, and it reveals an underappreciated heterogeneity of electrical tuning in the bullfrog amphibian papilla. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
The authors developed and validated a new Zap current method to measure electrical tuning of hair cells. When applied to the bullfrog amphibian papilla, the new method revealed a greater heterogeneity of electrical tuning that the traditional step current method failed to uncover. (Source: Synapse)

L ‐DOPA‐induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease: Are neuroinflammation and astrocytes key elements?
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
Graphical Abstract text
L‐DOPA‐induced dyskinesia is related to a pro‐inflammatory environment in the dopamine (DA) depleted striatum. This is determined by DA neurons death, neurotransmitters imbalance (glutamate, GLU) and DA increase by L‐DOPA treatment. It results in microglia and astrocyte activation simultaneously to elevated production of inflammatory mediators implicated in dyskinesia generation/maintenance. (Source: Synapse)

Gene expression related to serotonergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission is altered in the Flinders Sensitive Line rat model of depression: Effect of ketamine
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
Using real‐time qPCR, we show that the genetic animal model of depression Flinders Sensitive Line rats display serotonergic and glutamatergic abnormalities on gene expression level that partly may resemble findings in depressed patients. Gene expression related to these neurotransmitter systems was unaffected by ketamine, which has unique antidepressant properties. (Source: Synapse)
