We have generated immortal neuronal cell lines from normal and trisomy 16 (Ts16) mice, a model for Down syndrome (DS). Ts16 lines overexpress DS-related genes (App, amyloid precursor protein; Sod1, Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase) and show altered…

We report that stimulation inducing long-term potentiation (LTP) in the CA1 pyramidal cell layer of the hippocampus evokes significant increases in both BDNF and NT-3 mRNAs in CA1 neurons. No changes in BDNF or NT-3 mRNA levels were seen in the…

The authors aim to determine if a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) assessed before dementia onset is associated with a higher risk of neuropsychiatric symptoms after dementia onset. A population-based incident series of people with dementia…

Aging differentially alters forms of long-term potentiation in rat hippocampal area CAl. J. Neurophysiol. 79: 334-341, 1998. Long-term potentiation (LTP) of the Schaffer collateral/commissural inputs to CAI in the hippocampus was shown to consist of…

The current study examines regulation of CYP7B1, a DHEA 7 alpha-hydroxylase, by sex hormones. Transfection with estrogen receptor alpha and treatment with 17 P-estradiol in human embryonic kidney 293 cells significantly increased CYP7B1 catalytic…

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder, with no available drugs able to prevent the neuronal cell loss characteristic in brains of patients suffering from PD. Due to the complex cascade of molecular events involved in the…

This article describes a 2-year collaborative project in Cleveland, OH, that improved the reporting and management of potential and suspected elder abuse situations involving persons with dementia. Educational curricula for cross-training, screening…

Antipsychotic medications are frequently prescribed to assisted living (AL) residents who have dementia, although there is a lack of information about the potential side effects and adverse events of these medications among this population.…
