Published: January 2005

The therapeutic potential of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) for Parkinson's disease is likely to depend on sustained delivery of the appropriate amount to the target areas. Recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors (rAAVs) expressing GDNF may be a suitable delivery system for this purpose. The aim of this study was to define a sustained level of GDNF that does not affect the function of the normal dopamine (DA) neurons but does provide anatomical and behavioral protection against an intrastriatal 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesion in the common marmoset. We found that unilateral intrastriatal injection of rAAV resulting in the expression of high levels of GDNF (14 ng/mg of tissue) in the striatum induced a substantial bilateral increase in tyrosine hydroxylase protein levels and activity as well as in DA turnover. Expression of low levels of GDNF (0.04 ng/mg of tissue), on the other hand, produced only minimal effects on DA synthesis and only on the injected side. In addition, the low level of GDNF provided ∼85% protection of the nigral DA neurons and their projections to the striatum in the 6-OHDA-lesioned hemisphere. Furthermore, the anatomical protection was accompanied by a complete attenuation of sensorimotor neglect, head position bias, and amphetamine-induced rotation. We conclude that when delivered continuously, a low level of GDNF in the striatum (approximately threefold above baseline) is sufficient to provide optimal functional outcome.

Published: January 2005

Synapses between gustatory receptor cells and primary sensory afferent fibers transmit the output signal from taste buds to the CNS. Several transmitter candidates have been proposed for these synapses, including serotonin (5-HT), glutamate, acetylcholine, ATP, peptides, and others, but, to date, none has been unambiguously identified. We used Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing 5-HT2Creceptors as biodetectors to monitor 5-HT release from taste buds. When taste buds were depolarized with KCl or stimulated with bitter, sweet, or sour (acid) tastants, serotonin was released. KCl- and acid-induced 5-HT release, but not release attributable to sweet or bitter stimulation, required Ca2+influx. In contrast, 5-HT release evoked by sweet and bitter stimulation seemed to be triggered by intracellular Ca2+release. These experiments strongly implicate serotonin as a taste bud neurotransmitter and reveal unexpected transmitter release mechanisms.

Published: January 2005

The Nogo-66 receptor (NgR1) is a promiscuous receptor for the myelin inhibitory proteins Nogo/Nogo-66, myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), and oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein (OMgp). NgR1, an axonal glycoprotein, is the founding member of a protein family composed of the structurally related molecules NgR1, NgR2, and NgR3. Here we show that NgR2 is a novel receptor for MAG and acts selectively to mediate MAG inhibitory responses. MAG binds NgR2 directly and with greater affinity than NgR1. In neurons NgR1 and NgR2 support MAG binding in a sialic acid-dependentVibrio choleraeneuraminidase-sensitive manner. Forced expression of NgR2 is sufficient to impart MAG inhibition to neonatal sensory neurons. Soluble NgR2 has MAG antagonistic capacity and promotes neuronal growth on MAG and CNS myelin substratein vitro. Structural studies have revealed that the NgR2 leucine-rich repeat cluster and the NgR2 “unique” domain are necessary for high-affinity MAG binding. Consistent with its role as a neuronal MAG receptor, NgR2 is an axonassociated glycoprotein. In postnatal brain NgR1 and NgR2 are strongly enriched in Triton X-100-insoluble lipid rafts. Neural expression studies of NgR1 and NgR2 have revealed broad and overlapping, yet distinct, distribution in the mature CNS. Taken together, our studies identify NgRs as a family of receptors (or components of receptors) for myelin inhibitors and provide insights into how interactions between MAG and members of the Nogo receptor family function to coordinate myelin inhibitory responses.
Double Dissociation of Basolateral and Central Amygdala Lesions on the General and Outcome-Specific Forms of Pavlovian-Instrumental Transfer
Authors: Corbit Laura H. , Balleine Bernard W.
Published: January 2005

This series of experiments compared the effects of lesions of the basolateral complex (BLA) and the central nucleus (CN) of the amygdala on a number of tests of instrumental learning and performance and particularly on the contribution of these structures to the specific and general forms of pavlovian-instrumental transfer (PIT). In experiment 1, groups of BLA-, CN-, and sham-lesioned rats were first trained to press two levers, each earning a unique food outcome (pellets or sucrose), after which they were given training in which two auditory stimuli (tone and white noise) were paired with these same outcomes. Tests of specific satiety induced outcome devaluation, and tests of PIT revealed that, although the rats in all of the groups performed similarly during both the instrumental and pavlovian acquisition phases, BLA, but not CN, lesions abolished selective sensitivity to a change in the reward value of the instrumental outcome as well as to the selective excitatory effects of reward-related cues in PIT. In experiment 2, we developed a procedure in which both the general motivational and the specific excitatory effects of pavlovian cues could be assessed in the same animal and found that BLA lesions abolished the outcome-specific but spared the general motivational effects of pavlovian cues. In contrast, lesions of CN abolished the general motivational but spared the specific effects of these cues. Together, these results suggest that the BLA mediates outcome-specific incentive processes, whereas CN is involved in controlling the general motivational influence of reward-related events.
Differential Effects of Cerebellar Inactivation on Eyeblink Conditioned Excitation and Inhibition
Authors: Freeman John H. , Halverson Hunter E. , Poremba Amy
Published: January 2005

The neural mechanisms underlying excitatory and inhibitory eyeblink conditioning were compared using muscimol inactivation of the cerebellum. In experiment 1, rats were given saline or muscimol infusions into the anterior interpositus nucleus ipsilateral to the conditioned eye before each of four daily excitatory conditioning sessions. Postinfusion testing continued for four more excitatory conditioning sessions. All rats were given a final test session after muscimol infusions. The muscimol infusions inactivated the cerebellar nuclei, lateral anterior lobe, crus I, rostral crus II, and lobule HVI ipsilateral to the conditioned eye. Acquisition of excitatory conditioning was completely prevented by muscimol inactivation. In experiment 2, there were four experimental phases. Phase 1 consisted of excitatory conditioning. In phase 2, rats were given saline or muscimol infusions before conditioned inhibition training. Phase 3 consisted of continued conditioned inhibition training with no drug infusions. In phase 4, all rats received a retardation test in which the inhibitory stimulus was paired with the unconditioned stimulus. Muscimol infusions blocked the expression of conditioned responses during phase 2. However, robust conditioned inhibition was evident in phases 3 and 4. The findings indicate that conditioned excitation and inhibition depend on different mechanisms.
TworibeyeGenes in Teleosts: The Role of Ribeye in Ribbon Formation and Bipolar Cell Development
Authors: Wan Lei , Almers Wolfhard , Chen Wenbiao
Published: January 2005

Ribeye is the only known protein specific to synaptic ribbon, but its function is unclear. We show that the teleost fish,Fuguand zebrafish, have tworibeyegenes,ribeye aand ribeyeb. Whole-mountin situhybridization revealed thatribeye ais expressed in tissues containing synaptic ribbons, including the pineal gland, inner ear, and retina.Ribeye bis absent in the pineal gland. In the retina,ribeye ais expressed in both photoreceptors and bipolar cells, whereasribeye bis detected only in photoreceptors. To study the function of Ribeye a in retina, we depleted it by morpholino antisense oligos. Fish deficient in Ribeye a lack an optokinetic response and have shorter synaptic ribbons in photoreceptors and fewer synaptic ribbons in bipolar cells. Their bipolar cells still target Syntaxin-3 proteins to the inner plexiform layer and have abundantvsx1mRNA. However, they lack large synaptic terminals and show increased apoptosis. Rod bipolar cells are fewer in number and/or deficient in PKCα. Recovery of Ribeye a levels rescues the optokinetic response, increases the number of PKCα-positive bipolar cells, and stops apoptosis. We conclude that Ribeye a is important for late steps in bipolar cell development.
High-Frequency Oscillations Are Not Necessary for Simple Olfactory Discriminations in Young Rats
Authors: Fletcher Max L. , Smith Abigail M. , Best Aaron R. , Wilson Donald A.
Published: January 2005

Individual olfactory bulb mitral/tufted cells respond preferentially to groups of molecularly similar odorants. Bulbar interneurons such as periglomerular and granule cells are thought to influence mitral/tufted odorant receptive fields through mechanisms such as lateral inhibition. The mitralgranule cell circuit is also important in the generation of the odor-evoked fast oscillations seen in the olfactory bulb local field potentials and hypothesized to be an important indicator of odor quality coding. Infant rats, however, lack a majority of these inhibitory interneurons until the second week of life. It is unclear if these developmental differences affect olfactory bulb odor coding or behavioral odor discrimination. The following experiments are aimed at better understanding odor coding and behavioral odor discrimination in the developing olfactory system. Single-unit recordings from mitral/tufted cells and local field-potential recordings from both the olfactory bulb and anterior piriform cortex were performed in freely breathing urethane-anesthetized rats (postnatal day 7 to adult). Age-dependent behavioral odor discrimination to a homologous series of ethyl esters was also examined using a cross-habituation paradigm. Odorants were equated in all experiments for concentration (150 ppm) using a flow dilution olfactometer. In concordance with the reduced interneuron population, local field potentials in neonates lacked detectable odor-evoked γ-frequency oscillations that were observed in mature animals. However, mitral/tufted cell odorant receptive fields and behavioral odor discrimination did not significantly change, despite known substantial changes in local circuitry and neuronal populations, over the age range examined. The results suggest that high-frequency local field-potential oscillations do not reflect processes critical for simple odor discrimination.
Cocaine-Induced Plasticity of Intrinsic Membrane Properties in Prefrontal Cortex Pyramidal Neurons: Adaptations in Potassium Currents

Published: January 2005

Drug-induced adaptations in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) contribute to several core aspects of addictive behaviors, but the underlying neuronal processes remain essentially unknown. Here, we demonstrate that repeatedin vivoexposure to cocaine persistently reduces the voltage-gated K+current (VGKC) in PFC pyramidal neurons, resulting in enhanced membrane excitability. Analysis of dopamine D1-class receptor (D1R)-mediated modulation of VGKC indicates that, despite the absence of direct D1R stimulation, downstream D1signaling (the cAMP/protein kinase A pathway) is increased during withdrawal from chronic cocaine treatment and plays a central role in the drug-induced membrane plasticity in PFC. This long-lasting, cocaine-induced plasticity of membrane excitability in PFC pyramidal neurons may contribute to the impaired decision making and drug craving that characterize cocaine withdrawal.
Consolidation and Reconsolidation of Incentive Learning in the Amygdala
Authors: Wang Szu-Han , Ostlund Sean B. , Nader Karim , Balleine Bernard W.
Published: January 2005

Incentive learning is the process via which animals update changes in the value of rewards. Current evidence suggests that, for food rewards in rats, this learning process involves the amygdala. However, it remains unclear whether this learning undergoes protein synthesis-dependent consolidation and “reconsolidation” processes in the lateral and basal nuclei of amygdala. Accordingly, we examined this hypothesis by local infusion of protein-synthesis inhibitor after devaluation of a food reward induced by a shift from a food-deprived to a food-sated state in an instrumental conditioning paradigm. Our results show that intra-amygdala infusions of anisomycin, whether given after the initial devaluation or after a second devaluation session, abolished the changes in the value of the food reward produced by incentive learning. This study provides direct evidence that instrumental incentive learning depends on protein synthesis within the amygdala for both consolidation and reconsolidation and extends the demonstrations of protein synthesis-dependent reconsolidation to reward-related memories.
Universal Human Rights and the Problem of Unbounded Cultural Meanings
Authors: Handwerker W. Penn
Published: January 2005

Freedom from violence stands as an important candidate for a universal human right. By definition, however, such rights apply only to phenomena that are universally perceived and experienced and take predictable expression, a possibility that many contemporary interpretations of cultural theory reject. Yet people who live dramatically different lives—on tourist islands in the West Indies or as hunter‐gatherers and reindeer herders in Arctic regions—agree about components that comprise a unitary phenomenon legitimately called "violence." This is consistent with findings from cognitive and neruological science and with a more Geertzian theory that culture understood as meaning is not a thing, cultural variability occurs between individuals, and cultural consensus emerges as a necessary consequence of social interaction among people who participate in common social fields, who engage in common social discourse.

The Hall of Mirrors: Orientalism, Anthropology, and the Other
Authors: Sax William S.
Published: January 2005

Anthropologists specialize in human difference and thus cannot escape the dialectics of sameness and difference. Yet studying Others has been the object of attack in recent years, most notably by Edward Said, who sees the mere postulation of difference as dangerous, as a dehumanizing activity that valorizes Self and vilifies Other. In fact the situation is not so simple: the Other may be a model to be emulated or a mirror of the shadow side of the Self. Selfhood and Otherness, virtue and vice, are subject to ceaseless negotiation and reinterpretation. In this hall of mirrors, the Self and the Other cannot be neatly distinguished.
Plurality of Perspectives and Subjects in the Literary Genres of the Yucatec Maya
Authors: Gutiérrez‐Estévez Manuel
Published: January 2005

The author applies to literary texts some of the parameters used in reference to questions of perspective in the visual arts. Disagreeing with Erwin Panofsky, who considers perspective a “symbolic form,” the author sees it as a device of utterance and thus a generator of signs susceptible to semiotic study. Unlike many scholars, the author believes not that the enunciator's perspective is transferred onto the work, but that the perspective of the work is imposed on the enunciator. The perspective of each genre situates the enunciator in a specific place in relation to the world and shapes him or her differentially as subject.
Anthropology, Kleinian Psychoanalysis, and the Subject in Culture
Authors: Born Georgina
Published: January 2005

This essay uses the work of psychoanalyst Melanie Klein to reopen the dialogue between anthropology and psychoanalysis. It argues that Kleinian concepts enhance an anthropology that seeks out both intersubjective and intrasubjective difference and disjuncture, and it demonstrates the uses of major Kleinian concepts for addressing classic anthropological problems, including gender classification and the analysis of persecution in witchcraft and sorcery systems. Applying Kleinian concepts to the analysis of cultural‐historical process, it shows how splitting and denial may be central to the reproduction and hegemony of dominant cultural systems through time and addresses the question of how to theorize the relationship among dominant cultural systems, social differentiation, and individual subjectivities.

The Dark Side of the Moon: Conceptual and Methodological Problems in Studying Rural and Urban Worlds in Peru
Authors: Paerregaard Karsten
Published: January 2005

Recent anthropological theories deal with conceptualizations of culture and space. This article discusses these issues in relation to material from two different periods of fieldwork among villagers and migrants from a community in the Peruvian Andes. It demonstrates that their lives can only be understood when all ties of interdependence between the two groups are included in the analysis. It concludes that in a deterritorialized culture, territory plays a crucial role in people's identity, and living a double life does not imply having a double identity.
Blackness, the Racial/Spatial Order, Migrations, and Miss Ecuador 1995‐96
Authors: Rahier Jean Muteba
Published: January 2005

The author argues that blackness in Ecuador must be viewed in terms of personal, social, cultural, political, and economic processes embedded in particular time/space contexts. The official imagination of national identity constructed by white and white‐mestizo elites imposes a racist reading on the map of national territory, conceiving rural areas as racially inferior, indolent, backward, and culturally deprived, constituting burdens and challenges to the full development of the nation. In the logic of this racial/spatial order, the migration of blacks to urban centers threatens white‐mestizo society, which can no longer ignore the presence of Afro‐Ecuadorians.
Maasai Identity on the Periphery
Authors: Little Peter D.
Published: January 2005

This article examines ethnic identity among the Maasai‐related II Chamus of Baringo District, Kenya. Through an analysis of land policies, it shows how colonialism forged identities and boundaries that had scarcely existed in the 19th century. These are now fiercely defended on the basis of “tradition.” By examining how identities are shaped by power, the article contributes to the understanding of the political nature of ethnicity and the “ethnic” conflict in Kenya.
Ritual Powers and Social Tensions as Moral Discourse among the Tuareg
Authors: Rasmussen Susan
Published: January 2005

Ritual powers traditionally glossed as “witchcraft” in anthropology need not be an archaic or exotic phenomenon, isolated from historical processes of global political and economic transformation. The author analyzes how, among the Kel Ewey Tuareg of northern Niger, these emerge as a moral discourse, an attempt to make sense of and cope with the interplay of long‐standing social forms and emergent sociopolitical transformations.

"the largest popular culture movement in the Western world": intellectuals and Gaúcho Traditionalism in Brazil
Authors: Oliven Ruben George
Published: January 2005

In this article, I examine the Gaúcho Traditionalist Movement, which, with an active participation of two million people, claims to be the largest popular culture movement of the Western World. Based on the cult of the Gaúcho in a specific cattle ranching area of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil's southernmost state), the Gaúcho Traditionalist Movement was created by nonacademic intellectuals, generally from the urban middle class. The movement eventually spread to more than two thousand "Centers for Gaúcho Traditions" in all areas of the state, other parts of Brazil, and abroad. I analyze how and why —
made this three‐stage distancing from its original point of reference, becoming a translocal and even transnational phenomenon. I discuss the role of intellectuals' nostalgia for rural life in creating this form of popular culture. I show that traditionalist intellectuals have operated as intermediaries between knowledge produced in academia and popular culture movements, actively creating a popular culture that is frequently but mistakenly seen as being the product of the masses, [tradition, popular culture, national and regional identity, transnational movements, intellectuals, Brazil, Gaúcho]
Deadly power: a funeral to counter sorcery in South India
Authors: Nabokov IsabelIe
Published: January 2005

In this article, I argue that the regenerative potential of Tamil sorcery and countersorcery in South India inevitably depends on destruction; I demonstrate what ritual specialists' and sufferers' perspectives can reveal about relations of power, death, and regeneration. I take issue with Bruce Kapferer's recent proposition that sorcery is a creative practice through which human beings make and remake their lives,[sorcery, countersorcery, ritual healing, funeral symbolism, South India, Tamil people]

Nation on the move: the construction of cultural identities in Puerto Rico and the diaspora
Authors: Duany Jorge
Published: January 2005

In this article, I analyze recent intellectual debates on the Puerto Rican nation and its persistent colonial relation with the United States. First, I trace the development of a nationalist discourse on the Island, primarily among intellectuals, writers, and artists during the 20th century. I identify several problems with this discourse, especially the exclusion of ethnic and racial others from its definition of the nation. Then I argue that any serious reconceptualization of Puerto Rican identity must include the diaspora in the United States. I focus on the increasingly bilateral flow of people between the Island and the U.S. mainland—what has come to be known as circular, commuter, or revolving door migration. The Spanish folk term for this back‐and‐forth movement is extremely suggestive: el vaiveYi (literally meaning fluctuation). La nacion en vaiven, the nation on the move, might serve as an apt metaphor for the fluid and hybrid identities of Puerto Ricans on both sides of the Atlantic. My thesis is that massive migration—both to and from the Island—has undermined conventional definitions of the nation based exclusively on territorial, linguistic, or juridical criteria,[cultural identity, diaspora, nationalism, transnationalism, circular migration, Puerto Ricans]
