Psychedelics, entactogens and psychoplastogens for depression and related disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Currently, the most actively investigated rapidly acting antidepressants, anxiolytics and/or anti PTSD agents, include psychedelics e.g. psilocybin, LSD, N,N‐dimethyltryptamine, ayahuasca; non‐hallucinogenic entactogens, e.g. MDMA; psychoplastogens which rapidly promote neuroplasticity, e.g.

Postsynaptic protein organization revealed by electron microscopy. [PDF]

, 2019
Neuronal synapses are key devices for transmitting and processing information in the nervous system. Synaptic plasticity, generally regarded as the cellular basis of learning and memory, involves changes of subcellular structures that take place at the ...

Psychedelics as pharmacotherapeutics for substance use disorders: A scoping review on clinical trials and perspectives on underlying neurobiology

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Theorized mechanism of dopamine homeostasis restoration in the nucleus accumbens core induced by a psychedelic intervention. Abstract Psychedelics have garnered great attention in recent years as treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD) and treatment‐resistant depression because of their ability to alter consciousness and afflicted cognitive ...

Cannabigerol reverses mechanical allodynia through α2A‐adrenergic modulation of thalamocortical signaling in chemotherapy‐induced neuropathy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a prevalent and treatment‐resistant side effect of platinum‐based chemotherapy, characterised by mechanical allodynia. Cannabigerol (CBG), a non‐psychoactive cannabinoid, has shown antinociceptive potential, but its site and mechanism of action remain unclear.

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

A Scoping Review of Corticosterone-Induced Changes in Ionotropic Glutamate Receptor Levels and Localization in the Rodent Brain: Implications for the Auditory System

Brain Sciences
Background: The ionotropic glutamate receptor AMPA (AMPAR) mediates fast excitatory synaptic transmission and regulates synaptic strength in various parts of the CNS.

Pituitary Adenylate-Cyclase Activating Polypeptide Regulates Hunger- and Palatability-Induced Binge Eating [PDF]

, 2016
While pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) signaling in the hypothalamic ventromedial nuclei (VMN) has been shown to regulate feeding, a challenge in unmasking a role for this peptide in obesity is that excess feeding can involve ...

Intermediate filaments link glutamate–aspartate transporter deficiency to cochlear synaptopathy

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In a healthy ear, GLAST transporters in supporting cells clear excess glutamate to protect auditory connections. When GLAST is missing, glutamate accumulates and leads to the destruction of structural scaffolding within the postsynaptic nerve endings. This internal collapse causes a loss of synapses that are essential for hearing, ultimately resulting ...

Slow in Motion but Smart in Learning and Memory: Behavioral Changes in Adult NR3A Knockout Mice [PDF]

, 2011
The expression of NMDA receptor subunit NR3A is high in the neonatal brain but low in adults. However, its functional role in the adult brain is obscure.

A Mathematical model for Astrocytes mediated LTP at Single Hippocampal Synapses

, 2012
Many contemporary studies have shown that astrocytes play a significant role in modulating both short and long form of synaptic plasticity. There are very few experimental models which elucidate the role of astrocyte over Long-term Potentiation (LTP ...
