1. DISC1 Regulates Neurogenesis via Modulating Kinetochore Attachment of Ndel1/Nde1 during Mitosis Ye et al. use structural insights to uncover a functional interaction between psychiatric risk genes, DISC1 and Ndel1/Nde1, in regulating cell-cycle progression of neural stem cells during cortical development.

2. Mitochondrial DNA changes in pedunculopontine cholinergic neurons in Parkinson’s ABSTRACT In Parkinson’s disease (PD), mitochondrial dysfunction associates with nigral dopaminergic neuronal loss. Cholinergic neuronal loss co-occurs, particularly within a brainstem structure, the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN). We isolated single cholinergic neurons from post-mortem PPNs of aged controls and PD patients. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number and mtDNA deletions were increased...
3. Enhanced mu opioid receptor–dependent opioidergic modulation of striatal cholinergic transmission in DYT1 dystonia ABSTRACT Background: Mu opioid receptor activation modulates acetylcholine release in the dorsal striatum, an area deeply involved in motor function, habit formation, and reinforcement learning as well as in the pathophysiology of different movement disorders, such as dystonia. Although the role of opioids in drug reward and addiction is well...
4. Acute Predictors of Social Integration Following Mild Stroke Despite an acknowledged need to accurately predict stroke outcome, there is little empirical evidence regarding acute predictors of participation restriction post stroke. The current study examines prediction of social integration following mild stroke, using combinations of acute poststroke factors. Read More......
