Developmental regulation of expression of schizophrenia susceptibility genes in the primate hippocampal formation

Favre, Guillaume ; Banta Lavenex, Pamela A. ; Lavenex, Pierre

In: Translational Psychiatry, 2012, vol. 2, p. e173

The hippocampal formation is essential for normal memory function and is implicated in many neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. In particular, abnormalities in hippocampal structure and function have been identified in schizophrenic subjects. Schizophrenia has a strong polygenic component, but the role of numerous susceptibility genes in normal brain development...

Developmental regulation of gene expression and astrocytic processes may explain selective hippocampal vulnerability

Lavenex, Pierre ; Sugden, Steven G. ; Davis, Ryan R. ; Gregg, Jeffrey P. ; Lavenex, Pamela Banta

In: Hippocampus, 2010, p. -

The hippocampus plays a central role in the brain network that is essential for memory function. Paradoxically, the hippocampus is also the brain structure that is most sensitive to hypoxic-ischemic episodes. Here, we show that the expression of genes associated with glycolysis and glutamate metabolism in astrocytes and the coverage of excitatory synapses by astrocytic processes undergo...
