Dendritic Organization of Olfactory Inputs to Medial Amygdala Neurons.

The medial amygdala (MeA) is a central hub in the olfactory neural network. It receives vomeronasal information directly from the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) and main olfactory information largely via odor-processing regions such as the olfactory cortical amygdala (CoA). How these inputs are processed by MeA neurons is poorly understood.

Functional properties and projections of neurons in the medial amygdala.

The medial nucleus of the amygdala (MeA) plays a key role in innate emotional behaviors by relaying olfactory information to hypothalamic nuclei involved in reproduction and defense. However, little is known about the neuronal components of this region or their role in the olfactory-processing circuitry of the amygdala. Here, we have characterized neurons in the posteroventral division of the medial amygdala (MePV) using the GAD67-GFP mouse.

Behavioral and histological assessment of the effect of intermittent feeding in the pilocarpine model of temporal lobe epilepsy.

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most resistant type of epilepsy. Currently available drugs for epilepsy are not antiepileptogenic. A novel treatment for epilepsy would be to block or reverse the process of epileptogenesis.

Double spinal dysraphism. Report of three cases.

The simultaneous presence of multiple spinal neural tube defects is unusual. There have been only a few of these cases reported in the literature. The authors report on three cases of double spina bifida cystica.

Chronic subdural hematoma associated with subdural rhabdomyosarcoma: case report.

Objective: Subdural rhabdomyosarcoma is very rare, and even more unusual is the association between these sarcomas and chronic subdural hematoma. In this report, we present a case of subdural rhabdomyosarcoma that developed in a chronic refractory subdural hematoma.

Clinical Presentation: A 40-day-old boy was admitted with coma and intractable seizure after a head trauma caused by a fall.
