Transferrin, the iron mobilization protein, and its mRNA are normally present in oligodendrocytes. Previous reports using myelin mutants have shown both a decrease in transferrin protein and mRNA when the oligodendrocyte population is compromised. In this study the shiverer mouse mutant in which the

Concentrations of neurosteroids have been measured in the brains of postnatal myelin mutants jimpy (jp) and shiverer (shi) mice and of their normal controls. Progesterone (PROG) concentrations were increased more than threefold in the brains of mutant mice. Marked astroglial reaction occurs in the b
## Abstract Mutations in the __LGI1__ gene in humans predispose to the development of autosomal dominant partial epilepsy with auditory features (ADPEAF). Homozygous inactivation of the __Lgi1__ gene in mice results in an epilepsy phenotype characterized by clonic seizures within 2–3 weeks after bi
This review attempts to give a comprehensive overview of ovarian innervation, considering the whole nervous system and its different levels that may modify the ovarian function. The connection between the ovary and the central nervous system through the autonomic pathways, including the peripheral g
The regional distribution and inducibility of cytokines in the normal brain is still a matter of controversy. As an attempt to clarify this issue, we studied the constitutive and induced expression of interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and interferon (IFN)-gamma mRNAs i
