Gene-environment interactions, neuronal dysfunction and pathological plasticity in Huntington's diseaseAnton van Dellen
University Laboratory of Physiology, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK
Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol 32:1007-19. 2005..The effects of specific environmental manipulations are discussed in the context of gene-environment interactions and experience-dependent plasticity in the healthy and diseased brain, particularly the cerebral cortex...
Genetic and environmental factors in the pathogenesis of Huntington's diseaseAnton van Dellen
University Laboratory of Physiology, University of Oxford, Parks Road, OX1 3PT, Oxford, UK
Neurogenetics 5:9-17. 2004..This review focuses on genetic mediators, environmental modulators, and associated gene-environment interactions in the pathogenesis of Huntington's disease...
Wheel running from a juvenile age delays onset of specific motor deficits but does not alter protein aggregate density in a mouse model of Huntington's diseaseAnton van Dellen
Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, University of Oxford, Oxford, OX1 3PT, UK
BMC Neurosci 9:34. 2008..Furthermore, wheel running initiated in adulthood ameliorates the rear-paw clasping motor sign, but not an accelerating rotarod deficit...
Dendritic spine pathology and deficits in experience-dependent dendritic plasticity in R6/1 Huntington's disease transgenic miceTara L Spires
University Laboratory of Physiology, University of Oxford, Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PT, UK
Eur J Neurosci 19:2799-807. 2004..Furthermore, we demonstrate that Huntington's disease pathology interferes with the normal plastic response of dendritic spines to environmental enrichment...
Deficits in experience-dependent cortical plasticity and sensory-discrimination learning in presymptomatic Huntington's disease miceNektarios K Mazarakis
University Laboratory of Physiology, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3PT, United Kingdom
J Neurosci 25:3059-66. 2005....
Cognitive disorders and neurogenesis deficits in Huntington's disease mice are rescued by fluoxetineHelen E Grote
Howard Florey Institute, University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC 3010, Australia
Eur J Neurosci 22:2081-8. 2005..Furthermore, fluoxetine was found to rescue deficits of neurogenesis and volume loss in the dentate gyrus of HD mice...
Environmental enrichment rescues protein deficits in a mouse model of Huntington's disease, indicating a possible disease mechanismTara L Spires
University Laboratory of Physiology, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3PT, United Kingdom
J Neurosci 24:2270-6. 2004..These results suggest that environmental enrichment benefits animals at early stages of the disease by rescuing protein deficits, possibly through rescuing transcription or protein transport problems...
Impaired learning-dependent cortical plasticity in Huntington's disease transgenic miceAnita Cybulska-Klosowicz
Laboratory of Neuroplasticity, Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, 02 093, Warsaw, Poland
Neurobiol Dis 17:427-34. 2004..The results suggest that presymptomatic R6/1 HD transgenic mice show deficits in plasticity of primary somatosensory cortex...
Decreased hippocampal cell proliferation in R6/1 Huntington's miceStanley E Lazic
Centre for Brain Repair, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 2PY, UK
Neuroreport 15:811-3. 2004..Such a decrease in cell proliferation may be relevant to some of the deficits seen in these mice, although further work is needed to prove this...
Neurogenesis in the R6/1 transgenic mouse model of Huntington's disease: effects of environmental enrichmentStanley E Lazic
Centre for Brain Repair, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 2PY, UK
Eur J Neurosci 23:1829-38. 2006....
Olfactory abnormalities in Huntington's disease: decreased plasticity in the primary olfactory cortex of R6/1 transgenic mice and reduced olfactory discrimination in patientsStanley E Lazic
Centre for Brain Repair, University of Cambridge, CB2 2PY, UK
Brain Res 1151:219-26. 2007..These results suggest that olfactory impairments observed in HD patients may be the result of reduced plasticity in the primary olfactory cortex...
Environmental enrichment slows disease progression in R6/2 Huntington's disease miceEmma Hockly
Division of Medical and Molecular Genetics, GKT School of Medicine, King s College London, UK
Ann Neurol 51:235-42. 2002..Enrichment also delayed the loss of peristriatal cerebral volume in R6/2 brains. These results could provide the basis for a rational approach to ameliorate the effects of Huntington's disease...
