Abstract
Dopamine, a major neurotransmitter, plays a role in a wide range of brain sensorimotor functions. Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia are two major human neuropsychiatric disorders typically associated with dysfunctional dopamine activity levels, which can be alleviated through the druggability of the dopaminergic systems. Meanwhile, several studies suggest that optimal brain dopamine activity levels are also significantly impacted in other serious neurological conditions, notably stroke, but this has yet to be fully appreciated at both basic and clinical research levels. This is of utmost importance as there is a need for better treatments to improve recovery from stroke. Here, we discuss the state of knowledge regarding the modulation of dopaminergic systems following stroke, and the use of dopamine boosting therapies in animal stroke models to improve stroke recovery. Indeed, studies in animals and humans show stroke leads to changes in dopamine functioning. Moreover, evidence from animal stroke models suggests stimulation of dopamine receptors may be a promising therapeutic approach for enhancing motor recovery from stroke. With respect to the latter, we discuss the evidence for several possible receptor-linked mechanisms by which improved motor recovery may be mediated. One avenue of particular promise is the subtype-selective stimulation of dopamine receptors in conjunction with physical therapy. However, results from clinical trials so far have been more mixed due to a number of potential reasons including, targeting of the wrong patient populations and use of drugs which modulate a wide array of receptors. Notwithstanding these issues, it is hoped that future research endeavors will assist in the development of more refined dopaminergic therapeutic approaches to enhance stroke recovery.

Abstract
In the present study, we examined ischemia-induced neuronal and glial changes in the gerbil MOB at various time points during 60 days after 5 min of transient cerebral ischemia. The number of neuronal neuclei-immunoreactive neurons was not changed after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Myelin basic protein immunoreaction was well preserved after I/R. Five days after I/R, reactive form of GFAP-immunoreactive astrocytes began to increase in the external plexiform layer and granule cell layer: These reactive astrocytes peaked 10 days after I/R, thereafter, they decreased with time after I/R. Iba-1-immunoreactive microglia were ubiquitously distributed in all layers of the MOB. After I/R, significant changes in their morphology and immunoreactivity were not detected. The results of western blot analyses for GFAP, Iba-1 and MBP were similar to the immunohistochemical data. In addition, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (a marker for DNA damage) immunoreactivity and SOD1, an antioxidant, protein levels were not changed in the ischemic MOB. These results indicate that neurons in the MOB are resistant to ischemic insult, showing that astrocytes are activated late in the ischemic MOB.

Abstract
It has been reported that the over-stimulation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NR) modulates glutamate postsynaptic neurotransmission by generating long lasting Ca2+ channel openings. In the present study, we investigated ischemia-induced change in NR1 immunoreactivity and level in the main olfactory bulb (MOB) after 5 min of transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils. NR1 immunoreactivity in the sham-operated group was shown mainly in tufted cells of the external plexiform and in mitral cells of the mitral cell layer. NR1 immunoreactivity in these neurons was increased with time and was very strong 15 days after ischemia/reperfusion. At that time, NR1 protein level in the MOB was also highest. Thereafter, NR1 immunoreactivity and protein level in the MOB were decreased with time after ischemia/reperfusion. Thus, NR1 in tufted and mitral cells in the gerbil MOB is changed after transient forebrain ischemia. This suggests that mitral and tufted cells may be the principal neurons in the MOB affected in receiving inputs and sending projections to the olfactory area after transient ischemia.

Abstract
Information on the localization and the roles of glutamate in the nervous system is becoming valuable because the axon terminals of the olfactory sensory neurons and the synapses of the mitral and tufted output cells appear to be glutamatergic. In this study, we have analysed the distribution of glutamate immunoreactivity in the main olfactory bulb (MOB) of the Mongolian gerbil using an antiserum directed against glutamate. Glutamate immunoreactivity in the MOB was present in the olfactory nerve layer (Onl), glomerular layer (GL), external plexiform layer (EPL) and mitral cell layer (ML), but not in the granule cell layer (GCL). Glutamate immunoreactivity detected in the Onl was thought to be terminal ramifications of glomeruli. Some neurons in the periglomerular region showed glutamate immunoreactivity. In the EPL, glutamate immunoreactivity was found in some neuronal somata (tufted cells) and processes. In addition, mitral cells in the ML were labelled by the glutamate antibody. The pattern of glutamate immunoreactivity in the mitral cells was similar to that in the tufted cells. In brief, glutamate in the gerbil MOB is the neurotransmitter used by primary afferents and output neurons.

Transient ischemia-induced changes of neurofilament 200 kDa immunoreactivity and protein content in the main olfactory bulb in gerbils. J Neurol Sci 2005; 239:59-66.

Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate alterations of neurofilament 200 kDa (NF-200) and its polyphosphorylation form (RT97) immunoreactivity and protein content in the main olfactory bulb (MOB) after 5 min of transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils. In the sham-operated group, weak NF-200 immunoreactivity was detectable in a few somata of mitral cells, which projected weak NF-200-immunoreactive processes to the external plexiform layer (EPL). At 1-5 days after ischemia, strong NF-200 and RT97 immunoreactivity was shown by the mitral cell processes; however, somata of mitral cells did not show NF-200 immunoreactivity. At this time point, strong NF-200-immunoreactive mitral cell processes ran to the EPL and glomerular layer (GL). Thereafter, NF-200 and RT97 immunoreactivity was decreased up to 30 days after ischemia. In the 15 days post-ischemic group, the distribution pattern of NF-200 and RT97 immunoreactivity was slightly lower than that in the 1-5 days post-ischemic groups. In the 30 days post-ischemic group, moderate NF-200 and RT97 immunoreactivity was found in the mitral cells processes, but the immunoreactivity in the EPL and GL nearly disappeared. A Western blot study showed a pattern of NF-200 and RT97 expression at all post-ischemic time points similar to that of immunohistochemistry after ischemia. This result indicates that NF-200 and RT97 accumulates in injured mitral cell processes a few days after transient ischemia, which suggests that the axonal transport in the MOB may be disturbed during this period after transient ischemia.

Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the transient ischemia-induced changes of neurofilament 200 kDa (NF-200) immunoreactivity and protein content in the gerbil lateral olfactory tract (LOT) after 5 min of transient forebrain ischemia. Weak NF-200 immunoreactivity was detectable in the LOT in the sham-operated group. In this group, a few somata of mitral cells showed weak NF-200 immunoreactivity. One day after transient ischemia, NF-200 immunoreactivity in the LOT was increased significantly. NF-200 immunoreactivity in the LOT by 15 days after ischemia was similar to that in the 1 day post-ischemic group. In this time period, strong NF-200 immunoreactivity was expressed in the mitral cell processes, but the immunoreactivity in the mitral cell somata was significantly decreased. Thereafter, NF-200 immunoreactivity in the LOT was decreased significantly by 30 days after ischemic insult. At this time after ischemia, NF-200 immunoreactivity in the mitral cell dendrites was significantly decreased. The result of Western blot study showed that the pattern of NF-200 expression was similar to that of immunohistochemistry after ischemia-reperfusion. Our result suggests that changes of NF-200 protein in the gerbil LOT may be related to response to ischemic damage and that the axonal transport followed transient ischemia may be disturbed.
