A state of delirium: deciphering the effect of inflammation on tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease (2016)
Journal Article

Alzheimer's disease (AD), the predominant form of dementia, is highly correlated with the abnormal hyperphosphorylation and aggregation of tau. Immune responses are key drivers of AD and how they contribute to tau pathology in human disease remains l...

Novel Methods for Microglia Segmentation, Feature Extraction, and Classification (2016)
Journal Article

© 2017 IEEE. Segmentation and analysis of histological images provides a valuable tool to gain insight into the biology and function of microglial cells in health and disease. Common image segmentation methods are not suitable for inhomogeneous histo... Read More about Novel Methods for Microglia Segmentation, Feature Extraction, and Classification.

A novel role for the immunophilin FKBP52 in motor coordination (2016)
Journal Article

FKBP52 is a ubiquitously distributed immunophilin that has been associated with wideranging functions in cell signalling as well as hormonal and stress responses. Amongst other pathways, it acts via complex-formation with corticosteroid receptors and... Read More about A novel role for the immunophilin FKBP52 in motor coordination.

Deficits in object-in-place but not relative recency performance in the APPswe/PS1dE9 mouse model of Alzheimer's disease: implications for object recognition (2016)
Journal Article

Performance was examined on three variants of the spontaneous object recognition (SOR) task, in 5-month old APPswe/PS1dE9 mice and wild-type littermate controls. A deficit was observed in an object-in-place (OIP) task, in which mice are preexposed to...

Corticosterone and dopamine D2/D3 receptors mediate the motivation for voluntary wheel running in C57BL/6J mice (2016)
Journal Article

Physical exercise can improve cognition but whether this is related to motivation levels is unknown. Voluntary wheel running is a rewarding activity proposed as a model of motivation to exercise. To question the potential effects of exercise motivati... Read More about Corticosterone and dopamine D2/D3 receptors mediate the motivation for voluntary wheel running in C57BL/6J mice.

Impaired burrowing is the most prominent behavioral deficit of aging htau mice (2016)
Journal Article

htau mice are deficient of murine tau but express all six human tau isoforms, leading to gradual tau misprocessing and aggregation in brain areas relevant to Alzheimer's disease. Whilst histopathological changes in htau mice have been researched in t... Read More about Impaired burrowing is the most prominent behavioral deficit of aging htau mice.

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy discriminates the response to microglial stimulation of wild type and Alzheimer's disease models (2016)
