Effects of acute nicotine on hemodynamics and binding of [11C]raclopride to dopamine D2,3 receptors in pig brain.

Positive reinforcing properties of nicotine and the psychostimulants have been attributed to elevated dopamine release in the basal ganglia. It is well known that the specific binding of [(11)C]raclopride to dopamine D(2,3) receptors in living striatum is reduced by cocaine and amphetamines, revealing increased competition between endogenous dopamine and [(11)C]raclopride for dopamine D(2,3) receptors. However, the sensitivity of [(11)C]raclopride binding to nicotine-induced dopamine release is less well documented. In order to provide the basis for mapping effects of nicotine, we first optimized reference tissue methods for quantifying [(11)C]raclopride binding sites in striatum of living pigs (n = 16). In the same animals, the rate of cerebral blood flow (CBF) was mapped using [(15)O]water. Neither a low dose of nicotine (50 mu kg(-1), iv) nor a high dose of nicotine (500 microg kg(-1), iv) altered CBF in the pig brain, an important condition for calculating the binding of radioligands when using a reference tissue to estimate the free ligand concentration. The methods of Logan and of Lammertsma were compared using the cerebellum or the occipital cortex as reference tissues for calculating the binding potential (pB) of [(11)C]raclolpride in brain. Irrespective of the method used, the mean undrugged baseline pB in striatum (ca. 2.0) was significantly asymmetric, with highest binding in the left caudate and right putamen. Test-retest estimates of pB were stable. Subtraction of Logan pB maps revealed that the low dose of nicotine reduced the pB of [(11)C]raclopride by 10% in a cluster of voxels in the left anteroventral striatum, but this effect did not persist after correction for multiple comparisons. The high dose of nicotine (n = 9) acutely reduced pB by 10% bilaterally in the ventral striatum; 3 h after the high nicotine dose, the reductions had shifted dorsally and caudally into the caudate and putamen. Evidently, nicotine challenge enhances the competition between endogenous dopamine for [(11)C]raclopride binding sites with a complex temporal and spacial pattern in pig brain, initially presenting in the left ventral striatum.

NMDA systems in the amygdala and piriform cortex and nicotinic effects on memory function.

Both nicotinic cholinergic and NMDA glutaminergic systems are important for memory function. Nicotine has been found repeatedly to significantly improve working memory performance in the radial-arm maze. The NMDA antagonist dizocilpine has been found to impair working memory performance. There is neuropharmacological evidence that these two systems are functionally related. Nicotine is potent at releasing many transmitters including glutamate. The current study was conducted to examine the interaction of nicotinic and NMDA systems within the amygdala with regard to working and reference memory. Rats were trained on a working/reference procedure on a 16-arm radial maze. After acquisition, local infusion cannulae were implanted bilaterally into the amygdala and piriform cortex using stereotaxic techniques. Then 20 min prior to running the rats on the radial-arm maze, they were injected subcutaneously with (-) nicotine ditartrate at doses of 0 and 0.4 mg/kg. Following this, the rats received local infusions of (+) dizocilpine maleate (MK-801) at doses of 0, 2, 6 and 18 microg per side into the lateral amygdala or piriform cortex 10 min prior to running on the radial-arm maze. Each of the eight nicotine and dizocilpine combinations was administered to each rat in a counterbalanced order. After completion of the drug sessions the rats were sacrificed, and using histological methods the cannulae placements were verified. Acute amygdalar infusions of the NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist dizocilpine induced dose-related working and reference memory deficits in the radial-arm maze. Systemic nicotine was not seen to reverse these effects. Dizocilpine infusions into the adjacent piriform cortex did not impair memory function, supporting the specificity of dizocilpine effects in the amygdala. Latency effects were seen with both drugs in both areas. Latencies were decreased with both systemic nicotine and dizocilpine in both the lateral amygdala and the piriform cortex. This study demonstrated the importance of NMDA glutamate systems in the amygdala for appetitively-motivated spatial memory performance.

The concept of cerebral chemical dominance.

Kurup RK, Kurup PA.

Department of Neurology, Medical College Hospital, Trivandrum, Kerala, India.

The study assessed the biochemical differences between right hemispheric dominant and left hemispheric dominant individuals detected by handedness and the dichotic listening test. The isoprenoid metabolites--digoxin, dolichol, and ubiquinone, glycoconjugate metabolism, free radical metabolism, and the RBC membrane composition were studied in individuals with differing hemispheric dominance. The results showed that all right hemispheric dominant individuals and 50% of left hemispheric dominant individuals had increased HMG CoA reductase activity, elevated digoxin and dolichol levels. The serum magnesium, RBC membrane Na+-K+ ATPase activity and serum ubiquinone levels were reduced in all right hemispheric dominant individuals and 50% of left hemispheric dominant individuals. The tryptophan-derived neurotransmitters--serotonin, quinolinic acid, strychnine, and nicotine--were increased while the tyrosine derived neurotransmitters--dopamine, noradrenaline, and morphine--were reduced in all right hemispheric dominant individuals and 50% of left hemispheric dominant individuals. The other 50% of left hemispheric dominant individuals had decreased HMG CoA reductase activity, reduced digoxin, and dolichol levels. The serum magnesium, RBC membrane Na+-K+ ATPase activity, and serum ubiquinone levels were increased in this group. The tryptophan derived neurotransmitters--serotonin, quinolinic acid, strychnine, and nicotine were reduced, while the tyrosine-derived neurotransmitters--dopamine, noradrenaline, and morphine-- were increased in the rest (50% of left hemispheric dominant individuals). Hemispheric dominance detected by the dichotic listening test and handedness has no correlation with cerebral chemical dominance.

Hair loss is a problem in modern soceity. Examining the factors of hair growth may shed light on how hair loss might occur. How long can hair grow before it stops growing eventually if it does? Given that the hair growth rate is quite uniform and constant, somewhere between 0.3-0.5 millimeters per day, it's believed that the length of anagen, the growth phase, differs among individuals, and this is the major determinant to the maximum hair length. For some individuals, anagen may last ten years. Of course the length of the anagen is governed by genes, and the genetic background of the individuals. Non-genetic factors such as nutritional condition, weather, seasonal changes (hair may grow a bit faster during winter), taking medications, health condition may of course influence the rate of hair growth as well as hair loss. The shape of the hair, straight or curly, is dependent on the shape of the follicle. A circular or round hair follicle would generate straight hair, while the follicle with oval or elliptical shapes (in its cross-section) would produce a curly hair.
