[Purpose] Developmental dyslexia is a disorder in which reading and writing of characters is difficult. The present study investigated age-dependent joint position sense of the forearm and wrist and whether children with developmental dyslexia have less joint position sense...

Interleukin-17A regulates ependymal cell proliferation and functional recovery after spinal cord injury in mice.

Cell death & disease

Miyajima H, Itokazu T, Tanabe S, Yamashita T.
PMID: 34344859
Cell Death Dis. 2021 Aug 03;12(8):766. doi: 10.1038/s41419-021-04064-1.

Ependymal cells have been suggested to act as neural stem cells and exert beneficial effects after spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the molecular mechanism underlying ependymal cell regulation after SCI remains unknown. To examine the possible effect of IL-17A...

Pharmacologically induced N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor hypofunction impairs goal-directed food seeking in rats.

Neuropsychopharmacology reports

Ozawa T, Itokazu T, Ichitani Y, Yamada K.
PMID: 34542935
Neuropsychopharmacol Rep. 2021 Dec;41(4):526-531. doi: 10.1002/npr2.12209. Epub 2021 Sep 20.

AIM: Acute N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonism is an important pharmacological animal model of schizophrenia. In previous studies, schizophrenia patients show impaired goal-directed behavior in an outcome-specific devaluation procedure. In this study, we investigated whether the rat model of the...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by Lewy bodies (composed predominantly of alpha-synuclein [aSyn]) and loss of pigmented midbrain dopaminergic neurons comprising the nigrostriatal pathway. Most PD patients show significant deficiency of gangliosides, including GM1, in the brain, and GM1...
