The chicken immediate-early gene ZENK is expressed in the medio-rostral neostriatum/hyperstriatum ventrale, a brain region involved in acoustic imprinting, and is up-regulated after exposure to an auditory stimulus (2004)
Journal Article
Thode, C., Bock, J., Braun, K., & Darlison, M. (2005). The chicken immediate-early gene ZENK is expressed in the medio-rostral neostriatum/hyperstriatum ventrale, a brain region involved in acoustic imprinting, and is up-regulated after exposure to an auditory stimulus. Neuroscience, 130(3), 611-617. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroscience.2004.10.015

The immediate-early gene zenk (an acronym for the avian orthologue of the mammalian genes zif-268, egr-1, ngfi-a and krox-24) has been extensively employed, in studies on oscine birds, as a marker of neuronal activity to reveal forebrain structures t...

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 is increased in white cells early in Alzheimer's disease (2004)
Journal Article
Hye, A., Kerr, F., Archer, N., Foy, C., Poppe, M., Brown, R., …Lovestone, S. (2004). Glycogen synthase kinase-3 is increased in white cells early in Alzheimer's disease. Neuroscience Letters, 373(1), 1-4. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neulet.2004.10.031

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a disorder without a molecular marker in peripheral tissues or a disease modifying treatment. As increasing evidence has suggested a role for glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) in the pathogenesis of the condition we measu...
