Selective effects of insecticides on nigrostriatal dopaminergic nerve pathways.
A degeneration of the nigrostriatal pathway is a primary component of Parkinson's disease (PD), and we have investigated the actions of insecticides on this pathway. For in vivo exposures, C57BL/6 mice were treated three times over a 2-week period with heptachlor, the pyrethroids deltamethrin and permethrin, or chlorpyrifos. One day after the last treatment, we observed that heptachlor and the ...
متن کاملTitle : Loss of dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons accounts for the motivational and affective deficits in Parkinson ’ s disease
Parkinson's Disease (PD) involves the degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) that is thought to cause the classical motor symptoms of this disease. However, motivational and affective impairments are also often observed in PD patients. These are usually attributed to a psychological reaction to the general motor impairment and to a loss of some of ...
متن کاملTetrahydroisoquinoline lacks dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurotoxicity in mice.
1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ) has been reported to occur in human brain, with its content being 10-fold higher in the brain of a patient with Parkinson's disease (PD) than in that of a control subject. This congener of the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) could be formed in brain by the condensation of phenylethylamine with metabolically formed formaldehyde....
متن کاملComplementary roles of two excitatory pathways in retinal directional selectivity.
The two major excitatory synapses onto ON-OFF directionally selective (DS) ganglion cells of the rabbit retina appear to be nicotinic cholinergic and NMDA glutamatergic. Blockade of either of these synapses with antagonists does not eliminate directional selectivity. This suggests that these synapses may have complementary roles in the computation of the direction of motion. To test this hypoth...
متن کاملDopa-responsive dystonia: a syndrome of selective nigrostriatal dopaminergic deficiency.
Dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) is no longer a rare oddity. For the clinician, DRD poses a diagnostic challenge as its clinical presentation can be quite diverse. Marked and sustained response to L-dopa is the most crucial and absolute hallmark in confirming a diagnosis. Absence of degenerative nigral cell loss underlies the remarkable L-dopa response. The broadening spectrum of the clinical pre...
