Identification of pyruvate kinase as an antigen associated with Tourette syndromeJanice W Kansy
Department of Psychiatry, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas, TX 75390, USA
J Neuroimmunol 181:165-76. 2006..These data suggest that PK can function as an autoimmune target and that this immunoreactivity may be associated with Tourette syndrome, OCD, and associated disorders...
Cdk5 is essential for adult hippocampal neurogenesisDiane C Lagace
Department of Psychiatry, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75390 9070, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105:18567-71. 2008..Thus, Cdk5 has an essential role in the survival, but not proliferation, of adult-generated hippocampal neurons through both cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic mechanisms...
Striatal dysregulation of Cdk5 alters locomotor responses to cocaine, motor learning, and dendritic morphologyDouglas A Meyer
Departments of Psychiatry and Radiology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75390 9070, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105:18561-6. 2008..Thus, dysregulation of Cdk5 dramatically affects striatal-dependent brain function and may be relevant to non-neurodegenerative disorders involving dopamine neurotransmission...
Cdk5 modulates cocaine reward, motivation, and striatal neuron excitabilityDavid R Benavides
Department of Psychiatry, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas 75390, USA
J Neurosci 27:12967-76. 2007..These results suggest that Cdk5 acts as a negative regulator of neuronal excitability in the NAc and that Cdk5 may govern the behavioral effects of cocaine and motivation for reinforcement...
Identification of tyrosine hydroxylase as a physiological substrate for Cdk5Janice W Kansy
Department of Psychiatry, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75390 9070, USA
J Neurochem 91:374-84. 2004..These results demonstrate direct and indirect regulation of the phosphorylation state of a Cdk5/ERK1/2 site on TH and suggest a role for these pathways in the neuroadaptive changes associated with chronic cocaine exposure...
