How can you use “striatum” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Vax1 is localized during development to the anterior ventral forebrain, and is expressed in the striatum during embryogenesis [ 28].
Approximately 90% of all neurons in the striatum - 1.5 to 2.5 million in mice [ 1, 2] and 110-200 million in humans [ 3, 4] - belong to an unusual type 'of inhibitory projection cell referred to as medium spiny neurons [ 5 6 7 8 ] . Striatal neurons are divided into two major subpopulations (patch and matrix), that have somewhat different gene expression profiles and have different patterns of pre- and postsynaptic connections [ 9 10 11 12 13 ] .
In mapping neuron number we actually used the residual cell population as a trait, and we are therefore confident that this interval has a selective, although not necessarily exclusive, effect on numbers of neurons in striatum (Fig 4B).
The data are consistent with the report that a variant of PC12 cells also express exclusively PLD2 [ 18 ] and this expression is stimulated by nerve growth factor [ 18 ] , a treatment known to upregulate the cholinergic phenotype of PC12 cells [ 21 22 ] . PLD2 mRNA is abundant in many regions of the adult rodent central nervous system [ 6 23 ] , including cerebellum, frontal cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, midbrain, brainstem, striatum, and spinal cord [ 24 ] . The latter three regions are enriched with cell bodies of cholinergic neurons.
The observed disturbance of AMPA receptors may contribute to the neurotoxic process in other vulnerable brain regions and clinically to the development of dementia [ 35 ] . Interestingly, in a mouse model AMPA receptors in the cortex, striatum, hippocampus, and cerebellum declined by 29-50% as early as 8 weeks post-retroviral inoculation.
