No longer the poor relations.
In the 1938 edition of the British Encyclopaedia of Medical Practice, a page within the chapter on leukemia is devoted to a description of the clinical and hematologic differences between plasma cell leukemia and multiple myelomatosis. The observations made remain valid to this day. Unfortunately, to a significant degree, so does the prophetic final sentence: “The prognosis is hopeless, whether...

However, evidence for neurotransmitter respecification or switching has been accumulating steadily, both in the developing nervous system and in the adult brain, with observations of transmitter addition, loss, or replacement of one transmitter with another. Natural s...
متن کاملMicroRNAs: deviants no longer.
Almost ten years ago, the Ambros laboratory made the extraordinary discovery that a gene essential for development in Caenorhabditis elegans encoded a 22-nucleotide, untranslated RNA. Further genetic studies in this nematode revealed the existence of a second tiny RNA gene that turned out to be conserved in animals as diverse as flies and humans. Now, the Ambros, Bartel and Tuschl laboratories ...
متن کاملGABA as the pallidothalamic neurotransmitter: implications for basal ganglia function.
GABA levels, high affinity GABA uptake and glutamic acid decarboxylase levels are reduced in rat ventroanterolateral thalamic nucleus after destruction of the entopeduncular nucleus with kainic acid. This is strong evidence that GABA is an entopedunculothalamic neurotransmitter. The striatoentopeduncular pathway is also GABAergic. Thus the function of the corpus striatum may be to disinhibit th...
