Cocaine use during pregnancy induces profound neural and behavioral deficits in both mother and offspring. The present study was designed to compare the effects of cocaine exposure on spine density of postpartum and virgin female rat brains. Timed, pregnant, primiparous rats were injected with either cocaine (30 mg/kg) or saline, once daily, from gestational day 8 to 20. Twenty‐four hours after giving...
It has been postulated that brain inflammatory processes associated with autoimmune diseases may be causative factors in emotional disorders. Accordingly, we examined emotional behaviors in autoimmune-prone cytokine B-cell-activating factor (BAFF) transgenic mice, a model of systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögren's syndrome.Male BAFF transgenic mice were examined on a series...
Phosphoinositide metabolism, phospholipase C immunoreactivity, and protein kinase C translocation were measured in brain slices of 6- and 24-month-old F-344 rats. Basal phosphoinositide labeling and accumulation of [ 3 H]inositol phosphates were reduced in the 24-month-old rats. The cholinergic agonist, carbachol, induced lower net accumulations of inositol phosphates in striatal, hippocampal,...
