## Abstract ## Objective: The objective of the study is to report 2 new genotypic forms of proteaseโsensitive prionopathy (PSPr), a novel prion disease described in 2008, in 11 subjects all homozygous for valine at codon 129 of the prion protein (PrP) gene (129VV). The 2 new PSPr forms affect indi
## Abstract Since conversion disorder was thoroughly described by Pierre Janet psychiatric findings have traditionally been the only available source of contribution to the clarification of the phenomena. Some recent cognitive approaches though, have tried to explain conversion paralysis in terms o
Cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) expression can be regulated by heat-shock stress, and we designed the present study to determine whether hypoglycemia could affect PrP(C) expression. RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to measure the expression of PrP(C) and heat-shock protein (Hsp70) in mouse neur
