Phase locking of hippocampal CA3 neurons to distal CA1 theta oscillations selectively predicts memory performance.

How the coordination of neuronal spiking and brain rhythms between hippocampal subregions supports memory function remains elusive. We studied the interregional coordination of CA3 neuronal spiking with CA1 theta oscillations by recording electrophysiological signals along the proximodistal axis of the hippocampus in rats that were performing a high-memory-demand recognition memory task adapted from humans. We found that CA3 population spiking occurs preferentially at the peak of distal CA1 theta oscillations when memory was tested but only when previously encountered stimuli were presented.

[Clinical case report of acute dinitrophenol poisoning with a fatal outcome of Udmurt Republic].

Was to conduct the analysis of patient's clinical observation with acute dinitrophenol poisoning, admitted to a toxicological department of CCH №6 of Izhevsk, Udmurt Republic in 2021 yr. In this clinical case report, a 19 years old girl, who took 20 tablets of dinitrophenol, illegally obtained in online-shop, died. The fatal outcome was realized by the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation mechanism and cellular respiration, which in its turn led to serious dystrophic changes in all organs and tissues.

Wildtype peers rescue social play and 50-kHz ultrasonic vocalization deficits in juvenile female heterozygous rats.

Background: Healthy brain development depends on early social practices and experiences. The risk gene is implicated in numerous neuropsychiatric disorders, in which key characteristics include deficits in social functioning and communication. Recently, we reported sex-dependent impairments in social behavior and ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) in juvenile heterozygous (HET) rats.

Protective effects of m-(tert-butyl) trifluoroacetophenone, a transition state analogue of acetylcholine, against paraoxon toxicity and memory impairments.

m-(Tert-butyl) trifluoroacetophenone (TFK), a slow-binding inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), a transition state analog of acetylcholine, was investigated as a potential neuroprotectant of central and peripheral AChE against organophosphate paraoxon (POX) toxicity. Acute toxicity and pharmacological effects of TFK were investigated on mice and rats. Intraperitoneal administered TFK has low acute toxicity in mice (LD ≈ 19 mg/kg).

Bi-functional sterically hindered phenol lipid-based delivery systems as potential multi-target agents against Alzheimer's disease via an intranasal route.

New lipid-based nanomaterials and multi-target directed ligands (MTDLs) based on sterically hindered phenol, containing a quaternary ammonium moiety (SHP-s-R, with s = 2,3) of varying hydrophobicity (R = CH2Ph and CnH2n+1, with n = 8, 10, 12, 16), have been prepared as potential drugs against Alzheimer's disease (AD). SHP-s-R are inhibitors of human cholinesterases with antioxidant properties. The inhibitory potency of SHP-s-R and selectivity ratio of cholinesterase inhibition were found to significantly depend on the length of the methylene spacer (s) and alkyl chain length.
