Neuroprotective action of bacterial melanin in rats after corticospinal tract lesions
2012, PathophysiologyCitation Excerpt :Thus, the different recovery periods of the operant conditioned reflex in transected animals treated and not treated with melanin provide evidence of acceleration of this process as a result of treatment with bacterial melanin. It remains possible that this involves acceleration of the processes of sprouting and new synapse formation [34]. The rapid and compete elimination of motor deficit (at 4–6 days with a dose of 6 mg/ml) seen in rats given melanin can be assigned to the activating effects of this substance.

2000, Behavioural Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Combined evidence from numerous studies of conditioned nictitating membrane and limb flexion responses in the rabbit and cat, respectively, suggest that premotor efferent control of conditioned associative learning involves a circuit including, but not necessarily restricted to cerebellum (nucleus interpositus and cortical lobule HVI) [13–15,21,26,31,32,34,39,41,42,47–50,56,58,59,61–64,73,81–83,85], inferior olivary nucleus [26,43,69,75,76,84], and the magnocellular red nucleus [2,16,20,23–25,37,44–46,54,57,60,66,74].
