The application of this approach to the neurochemical pathology of Alzheimer's disease was pioneered by David Bowen. By combining assessment of post-mortem tissue (where the disease has usually run its full course) with tissue obtained ante-mortem (where the disease course is incomplete), it has been possible to (1) establish which neurones are lost in the disease, (2) determine which neurones are lost early in the course of the disease, and (3) discern which changes relate with the symptomatology of the disease. Thus, loss of cholinergic, noradrenergic and serotonergic innervation to the cortex occurs at an early stage, since markers of the neurones are lost in both post-mortem and ante-mortem tissue. By contrast, dopaminergic innervation remains intact and markers of cortical GABAergic interneurones are affected in post-mortem tissue only, suggesting that loss of GABAergic neurones occurs only at a late stage of the disease. Cholinergic markers and the number of pyramidal cell perikarya correlate with the severity of dementia, suggesting that loss of cholinergic and EAA neurones is the major contributor to the cognitive impairments of Alzheimer's disease. Loss of noradrenergic and serotonergic neurones probably contributes to the emergence of non-cognitive impairments in behaviour. Possible causes of selective neuronal loss are discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":19127,"journal":{"name":"Neurodegeneration","volume":"5 4","pages":"Pages 381-391"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1006/neur.1996.0051","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20065905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Processed information is carried away from the hippocampus by a reciprocal glutamatergic pathway back into posterior association cortex. These pathways are thought to be crucial for the acquisition of long term memories although it seems likely that memories are stored in cortex rather than within the hippocampus. The hippocampus is supported by functionally excitatory cholinergic modulation via fornical afferents and by functionally inhibitory serotonergic modulation specifically via 5HT<sub>1A</sub>receptors. Cholinergic modulation of the hippocampus is necessary for efficient acquisition of visuospatial tasks but not for retention of similar tasks first acquired prior to surgery. Cholinergic modulation of areas outside the hippocampus may contribute to the maintenance of memories and non-cholinergic efferents in the fornix may be required for retrieval of tasks first learnt when the hippocampus was intact. Impairments on acquisition of visuospatial tasks brought about by fornix transection can be ameliorated by direct stimulation of cholinergic receptors using pilocarpine or by blockade of the serotonergic inhibitory modulation of the hippocampus using the 5HT<sub>1A</sub>receptor antagonist, WAY100635, indicating an equal-but-opposite modulatory effect of these two neurotransmitters on hippocampal function.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":19127,"journal":{"name":"Neurodegeneration","volume":"5 4","pages":"Pages 467-471"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1006/neur.1996.0064","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20066522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, most neuropathological studies have been based on qualitative, or at best semi-quantitative, data reporting the presence or absence of specific lesion types. To obtain such data traditionally involves laborious manual measurements, which rely heavily on the skill of the investigator and tend to have low inter- and intra-rater reliabilities. We have developed a novel analysis technique, using colour image analysis, which can accurately quantify the total amount of neurofibrillary damage present. Furthermore we have developed a set of mathematically defined morphological criteria to allow objective discrimination between the three types of neurofibrillary damage seen in the cortex immunostained with Alz–50.

Following craniotomy and retraction of the frontal and temporal lobes, the middle cerebral artery was permanently occluded by means of electrocoagulation. Three and eight weeks after surgery, various behavioural tests were used to give a quantifiable measure to the neurological deficits produced. These tests required the monkeys to reach into tubes for foodbits, retrieve rewards from the steps of two designs of «staircases», respond to one of two simultaneously presented rewarded tubes, remove adhesive labels attached to their feet, and respond to sensory stimuli. Unilateral motor impairment of the contralateral forelimb and neglect of contralateral tactile stimuli were seen in all subjects, and spatial neglect was also present in some monkeys. Subsequent histological analysis revealed unilateral cortical damage in all subjects with varying amounts of injury to the caudate and the putamen in some animals. These results demonstrate the potential for the use of this species in future investigations to examine the effect of neuroprotective treatment on functional outcome after a focal ischaemic insult.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":19127,"journal":{"name":"Neurodegeneration","volume":"5 3","pages":"Pages 275-286"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1006/neur.1996.0036","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19876057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Monoamine depletion in different rodent species after DSP-4 is generally assumed to occur with a similar pattern. To verify this assumption, in the present study we evaluated the different patterns of monoamine depletion produced by DSP-4 in different brain regions of two different strains of mice and rats 3, 7 and 14 days after DSP-4 administration. In this report, we show that there are evident species and strain differences concerning the pattern of norepinephrine depletion in various brain regions. Moreover, serotonin levels are fully preserved following DSP-4 in mice, whereas there is a significant serotonin decrease in specific brain regions after the same dose of DSP-4 in rats. Apart from disclosing species and strain variability among rodents in neurotoxin-induced monoamine depletion, these findings suggest that DSP-4 should be considered as a different neurotoxin, depending on the species and strain in which it is administered.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":19127,"journal":{"name":"Neurodegeneration","volume":"5 3","pages":"Pages 241-249"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1006/neur.1996.0032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19876053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
