Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the CNS cellular constituent immunoreactive for specific P2X7 receptor antiserum in the kainate-induced seizure and non-seizure rat brain. Analysis of P2X7 immunocytochemistry (ICC) revealed small immunoreactive cells with processes showing distinct morphological changes as seizures progressed in time. These morphological changes were reminiscent of reactive glia during CNS injury. In order to determine the identity of this non-neuronal cellular constituent, we employed dual ICC techniques using sequential antibody incubations and reacted the sections with contrasting chromagens. Specific glial markers tested in the series included Iba1 (microglia), COX-1 (microglia), and GFAP (astroglia). Results of this study revealed distinct colocalization when sections immunostained for P2X7 were dual immunostained with antisera specific for microglia (Iba1, COX-1). In contrast, no colocalization was evident when sections were dual immunostained with P2X7 and GFAP, an astrocytic marker. In the latter experiment, dual ICC revealed two distinct cell populations with contrasting color demonstrating a population of distinct GFAP immunopositive cells and a population of distinct P2X7 immunopositive cell...Continue Reading

Astrocytes & Neurodegeneration

Astrocytes are important for the health and function of the central nervous system. When these cells stop functioning properly, either through gain of function or loss of homeostatic controls, neurodegenerative diseases can occur. Here is the latest research on astrocytes and neurodegeneration.

Amygdala: Sensory Processes

Amygdalae, nuclei clusters located in the temporal lobe of the brain, play a role in memory, emotional responses, and decision-making. Here is the latest research on sensory processes in the amygdala.

Amygdala and Midbrain Dopamine

The midbrain dopamine system is widely studied for its involvement in emotional and motivational behavior. Some of these neurons receive information from the amygdala and project throughout the cortex. When the circuit and transmission of dopamine is disrupted symptoms may present. Here is the latest research on the amygdala and midbrain dopamine.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.
