Daily high doses of atorvastatin alter neuronal morphology in a juvenile songbird model Open
Statins are highly effective and widely prescribed cholesterol lowering drugs. However, statins cross the blood-brain barrier and decrease neural cholesterol in animal models, raising concern that long-term statin use may impact cholestero…

Adult neurogenesis in avian auditory cortex, caudomedial nidopallium (NCM): Lateralization and effects of statins Open
In the first part of this paper, we investigated the basic relationship between learning, memory and adult neurogenesis using zebra finches. We found that in the auditory cortex, the left hemisphere had more new neurons than the right hemi…
