Abstract Purpose of Review The purpose of this review is to familiarize the reader with assessments and measurement of spasticity in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Spasticity affects 60–84% of people with MS, worsening as disability worsens and impacting activity, participation, and quality of life. Spasticity manifests in many ways, including spasms, resistance to passive stretch, pain, and perception of tightness, and can...

Publication date: October 2019Source: Current Opinion in Neurobiology, Volume 58Author(s): Tatyana O SharpeeThis review connects several lines of research to argue that hyperbolic geometry should be broadly applicable to neural circuits as well as other biological circuits. The reason for this is that networks that conform to hyperbolic geometry are maximally responsive to external and internal perturbations. These networks also allow for efficient communication under conditions where nodes are added...

Abstract The mesolimbic dopamine system is important for reward‐oriented behaviors, such as drinking and eating. However, the precise involvement of dopaminergic neurons and dopamine receptors in water drinking behavior remains unclear. Here, we generated triple transgenic mice harboring Slc6a3(DAT)‐icre/ERT2, Camk2a‐loxP‐STOP‐loxP‐ tetracycline transactivator, and tetO‐tetanus toxin constructs, in which the release of dopamine is blocked by tetanus toxin. These mice, referred to as dopamine secretion...

Abstract Single‐housed stress elicits a range of social isolation‐related behavioral and neurobiological abnormalities. To investigate single‐housing‐induced behavioral changes and sex differences on stress outcomes, we examined single‐housed stress‐induced learning and memory impairment, depression‐like behaviors, neuroplasticity abnormalities, and underlying mechanism. The results showed that male and female mice socially isolated for 8 weeks had significantly decreased memory acquisition, as...

Abstract The olfactory mucosa (OM) is the primary site of odorant detection, and its axonal projections relay information to brain structures for signal processing. We have previously observed that olfactory function can be affected during a prolonged stress challenge in Wistar rats. The stress response is a neuroendocrine retro‐controlled loop allowing pleiotropic adaptive tissue alterations, which are partly mediated through the release of glucocorticoid hormones. We hypothesised that, as part...
