Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)-TrkB Signaling in Inflammation-related Depression and Potential Therapeutic Targets
Author(s):
Ji-chun Zhang, Wei Yao and Kenji HashimotoPages 1-10 (10)
Abstract:
Depression is the most prevalent and among the most debilitating of psychiatric disorders. The precise neurobiology of this illness is unknown. Several lines of evidence suggest that peripheral and central inflammation plays a role in depressive symptoms, and that anti-inflammatory drugs canimprove depressive symptoms in patients with inflammation-related depression. Signaling via brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor, tropomycin receptor kinase...
Animal Models of Maternal Immune Activation in Depression Research
Author(s):
Marianne Ronovsky, Stefanie Berger, Barbara Molz, Angelika Berger and Daniela D. PollakPages 1-16 (16)
Abstract:
Background: Depression and schizophrenia are debilitating mental illnesses with significant socio-economic impact. The high degree of comorbidity between the two disorders, shared symptoms and risk factors, suggest partly common pathogenic mechanisms. Supported by human and animal studies, maternal immune activation (MIA) has been intimately associated with the development of schizophrenia. However, the link between MIA...
Freezing of Gait in Parkinsonism and its Potential Drug Treatment
Author(s):
Li-Li Zhang, S. Duff Canning and Xiao-Ping WangPages 302-306 (5)
Abstract:
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a heterogeneous symptom. Studies of treatment for FOG are scarce. Levodopa and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (rasagiline and selegiline) have shown effective improvement for FOG. Other drugs, such as L-threo-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylserine, amantadine, and botulinum toxin have exhibited some beneficial effects. The present review summarizes...
