When the mice died at 31 weeks, their brains had 20 % fewer neurons than normal mouse brains in regions that Huntington's strikes in people.

Not exact matches

The researchers found that mutant mice lacking Del - 1 had more severe attacks of the EAE than normal mice, with more damage to myelin, the fatty sheath that coats neurons and helps in the transmission of signals along the cell.

Chen and colleagues report online today in Science that mice without GRPR neurons scratched significantly less than normal mice did — about 80 % less in each case.

Both mice and humans with a silenced FMR1 gene have malformed neurons: Spines on their dendrites are longer, thinner, and more numerous than normal, and they also transmit weaker electric signals.

The brains of the mice were smaller than normal and had fewer neurons in areas that controlled the affected behaviors.

To see what was happening in the brains of these ankyrin - G mutant mice, the researchers analyzed the cell components in inhibitory synapses connecting with pyramidal neurons, finding that two proteins known as GAT1 and GAD67 — responsible for making the neurochemical GABA that dials back nerve impulses — were at much lower levels in the synapses on pyramidal neurons in ankyrin - G mutant mice than in normal mice.

«The successful retrieval of memories in AD mice by increasing the number of spines for normal memory processing only in the memory cells, rather than in a broad population of cells, highlights the importance of highly - targeted manipulation of neurons and their circuits for future therapies.

«The successful retrieval of memories in AD mice by increasing the number of spines for normal memory processing only in the memory cells, rather than in a broad population of cells, highlights the importance of highly - targeted manipulation of neurons and their circuits for future therapies,» said Tonegawa in a statement.
