Serial in vivo MR tracking of magnetically labeled neural spheres transplanted in chronic EAE mice.

Neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation has been shown to attenuate the severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS). Central to the future success of NSC transplantation in MS is the ability of transplanted cells to migrate from the site of transplantation to relevant foci of disease. Using magnetically labeled mouse neurospheres and human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived neurospheres, we applied serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess the biodynamics of transplanted cell migration in a chronic mouse EAE model. Magnetic labeling did not affect the in vitro and in vivo characteristics of cells as multipotential precursors. Cell migration occurred along white matter (WM) tracts (especially the corpus callosum (CC), fimbria, and internal capsule), predominantly early in the acute phase of disease, and in an asymmetric manner. The distance of cell migration correlated well with clinical severity of disease and the number of microglia in the WM tracts, supporting the notion that inflammatory signals promote transplanted cell migration. This study shows for the first time that hESC-derived neural precursors also respond to tissue signals in an MS model, similarly to rodent cells. The results are directly relevant for designing and optimizing cell therapies for MS, and achieving a better understanding of in vivo cell dynamics and cell-tissue interactions.

Neural classifier construction using regularization, pruning and test error estimation

In this paper we propose a method for construction of feed-forward neural classifiers based on regularization and adaptive architectures. Using a penalized maximum likelihood scheme, we derive a modified form of the entropic error measure and an algebraic estimate of the test error. In conjunction with optimal brain damage pruning, a test error estimate is used to select the network architecture. The scheme is evaluated on four classification problems.     

A p65/p95 Neural Surface Receptor is Expressed at the S-G2 Phase of the Cell Cycle and Defines Distinct Populations

A surface receptor complex of M _r˜65 000 (p65) and ˜95 000 (p95) is expressed in cells of the central nervous system of mice. This receptor is recognized by monoclonal antibody 87.92.6 or by reovirus type 3 haemagglutinin as unnatural ligands. The p65/p95 receptor is expressed mostly in neural embryonic precursors undergoing proliferation, especially those in the S-G₂ phase of the cell cycle. Receptor expression decreases progressively throughout embryogenesis to low but detectable levels in the adult brain. Biochemical characterization revealed that the neural p65/p95 receptor complex is indistinguishable from the p65/p95 receptor expressed in T cells, where receptor ligation leads to a mitogenic block. In neural and lymphoid tissues the p65/p95 receptor (or an associated protein) possesses a tyrosine kinase enzymatic activity. Receptor ligation in neural cells resulted in the rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins which are different from substrates phosphorylated in T cells. Differential substrate coupling to the receptor may account for differences in signal transduction and biology between neural cells and T cells. Further study of this receptor complex may help define important features of neural proliferation, differentiation and survival.     

Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease dissociates mood and motor circuits: a functional MRI case study.

Behavioral disturbances have been reported with subthalamic (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment in Parkinson's disease (PD). We report correlative functional imaging (fMRI) of mood and motor responses induced by successive right and left DBS. A 36-year-old woman with medically refractory PD and a history of clinically remitted depression underwent uncomplicated implantation of bilateral STN DBS. High-frequency stimulation of the left electrode improved motor symptoms. Unexpectedly, right DBS alone elicited several reproducible episodes of acute depressive dysphoria. Structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) imaging was carried out with sequential individual electrode stimulation. The electrode on the left was within the inferior STN, whereas the right electrode was marginally superior and lateral to the intended STN target within the Fields of Forel/zona incerta. fMRI image analysis (Analysis of Functional NeuroImages, AFNI) contrasting OFF versus ON stimulation identified significant lateralized blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal changes with DBS (P < 0.001). Left DBS primarily showed changes in motor regions: increases in premotor and motor cortex, ventrolateral thalamus, putamen, and cerebellum as well as decreases in sensorimotor/supplementary motor cortex. Right DBS showed similar but less extensive change in motor regions. More prominent were the unique increases in superior prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate (Brodmann's area [BA] 24), anterior thalamus, caudate, and brainstem, and marked widespread decreases in medial prefrontal cortex (BA 9/10). The mood disturbance resolved spontaneously in 4 weeks despite identical stimulation parameters. Transient depressive mood induced by subcortical DBS stimulation was correlated with changes in mesolimbic cortical structures. This case provides new evidence supporting cortical segregation of motor and nonmotor cortico-basal ganglionic systems that may converge in close proximity at the level of the STN and the adjacent white matter tracts (Fields of Forel/zona incerta).     

Global bifurcation structure of chaotic neural networks and its application to traveling salesman problems

This paper studies global bifurcation structure of the chaotic neural networks applied to solve the traveling salesman problem (TSP). The bifurcation analysis clarifies the dynamical basis of the chaotic neuro-dynamics which itinerates a variety of network states associated with possible solutions of TSP and efficiently ‘searches’ for the optimum or near-optimum solutions. By following the detailed merging process of chaotic attractors via crises, we find that the crisis-induced intermittent switches among the ruins of the previous localized chaotic attractors underly the ‘chaotic search’ for TSP solutions. On the basis of the present study, efficiency of the ‘chaotic search’ to optimization problems is discussed and a guideline is provided for tuning the bifurcation parameter value which gives rise to efficient ‘chaotic search’.     

The anterior inferior cerebellar arterial network supplying the rat cochlea and its role in autoregulation of cochlear blood flow

Summary The sensitivity of the cochlea is dependent upon maintenance of a delicate homeostatic environment. One mechanism which participates in providing this environment is the autoregulation of cochlear blood flow. This autoregulation is ensured through the interaction of sympathetic, peptidergic and hemodynamic mechanisms. The current study demonstrates an adaptation that also participates in cochlear blood flow autoregulation. Specifically, an anterior inferior cerebellar arterial network is described and the relative contributions of each of its vessels to total cochlear blood flow is measured using laser Doppler flowmetry. The results show that each collateral vessel contributes to the blood supply of the cochlea and that reperfusion is accompanied by hyperemia. These findings suggest an adaptation that provides stable blood flow through redundancy and compensatory potential. Additionally, these observations have implications for experimental models of ischemia.
