[Ataxia in rolling mouse Nagoya and the norepinephrine system--a psychopharmacological study]. 1982

Rolling mouse Nagoya (RMN), an ataxia mutant mouse, is adequate to checking up the efficacy of drugs on the ataxic movement disorders. The effects of some drugs on the ataxia of RMN were investigated by open field study. The drugs administered to RMN were as follows: TRH, FLA-63, DL-threo-DOPS, phenoxybenzamine and propranolol. Ataxic gait of RMN were remarkably improved by TRH, but remained unchanged by other drugs. The pretreatments with FLA-63, DOPS and phenoxybenzamine were not influenced to the antiataxic effects of TRH, while the pretreatment with propranolol increased the antiataxic effect of TRH in RMN. These results suggest that mechanism of the improvement of ataxic gait by TRH may not be sufficiently explained through only changing norepinephrine metabolism.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002524 Cerebellar Ataxia Incoordination of voluntary movements that occur as a manifestation of CEREBELLAR DISEASES. Characteristic features include a tendency for limb movements to overshoot or undershoot a target (dysmetria), a tremor that occurs during attempted movements (intention TREMOR), impaired force and rhythm of diadochokinesis (rapidly alternating movements), and GAIT ATAXIA.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
