AMPA Receptor Calcium Permeability, GluR2 Expression, and Selective Motoneuron Vulnerability

, 2000
AMPA receptor-mediated excitotoxicity is proposed to play a major pathogenic role in the selective motoneuron death of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Motoneurons have been shown in various models to be more susceptible to AMPA receptor-mediated injury ...

Dexmedetomidine Rapidly Relieves Stress‐Induced Hyperalgesia via Presynaptic α2‐Adrenergic Inhibition at Orbitofrontal–Insular Glutamatergic Synapses

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study identified a maladaptive OFC–AIC glutamatergic circuit in stress‐induced hyperalgesia induction. This critical circuit provides an α2‐AR‐dependent braking target for dexmedetomidine to alleviate excessive glutamatergic transmission and hyperalgesia. ABSTRACT Dexmedetomidine (Dex), an α2‐adrenergic receptor (α2‐AR) agonist, is widely used for

Agonist occupancy is essential for forward trafficking of AMPA receptors.

, 2009
Regulated trafficking of AMPA receptors to cell surface and to synapses is an important determinant of neuronal excitability. In the present study, we have addressed the role of agonist binding and desensitization in the early trafficking of glutamate ...

Multi‐Targeting Ligands as Prospective Therapeutics for Alzheimer's Disease, a Prevalent Neurodegenerative Disorder: Mechanistic Insights, Emerging Targets and Drug Discovery Campaigns

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 1173-1229, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition characterized by progressive cognitive impairment, memory deterioration, and neuronal dysfunction. Its complex pathophysiology involves multiple interlinked processes, including amyloid‐β (Aβ) aggregation, tau hyperphosphorylation, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation ...

Molecular characterisation of neurotransmitter receptors in the CNS of the stargazer mutant mouse [PDF]

, 2002
The mutant mouse stargazer shows both ataxia and absence epilepsy from P14 onwards. A PGR amplification strategy was utilised to identify adult (i.e. > 3 months) +/stg from +/+ mice, which share the same phenotype, for use for breeding purposes. The same

Surface expression of GluR-D AMPA receptor is dependent on an interaction between its C-terminal domain and a 4.1 protein.

, 2003
Dynamic regulation of the number and activity of AMPA receptors is believed to underlie many forms of synaptic plasticity and is presumably mediated by specific protein-protein interactions involving the C-terminal domain of the receptor.

Proteomic Profiling of Primary Hippocampal Neurons Reveals Noncanonical GFAP Expression and Metabolic Adaptations in Glia‐Free Culture

PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 7, Page 111-130, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite their widespread use as a research model, a comprehensive, quantitative proteomic profile of the cultured hippocampal neurons has remained unexplored. Here, we provide the first global proteomic characterization of primary murine hippocampal neurons cultured for 14 days under near‐physiological glucose conditions (2.5 mM).

Investigating the interplay between excitatory neurotransmission and GABAa receptor expression and trafficking in the stargazer mutant mouse [PDF]

, 2006
The stargazer mutant mouse is an animal model of human absence epilepsy and cerebellar ataxia. The stargazer mutation results in the complete ablation of expression of TARPy2， an AMPA receptor (AMPAR) auxiliary subunit.

Comparative Cochlear–Vestibular Aging Reveals Age‐Aligned Mitochondrial Ultrastructural Burden, Mitophagy–Autophagy Remodeling, Synaptic Uncoupling, and Sensory Functional Decline

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study maps age‐aligned cochlear and vestibular decline in SAMP8 mice, linking functional impairment with synaptic vulnerability, mitochondrial ultrastructural injury, and autophagy/mitophagy–lysosome transcriptional remodeling. The findings provide an integrated framework for understanding shared inner‐ear aging trajectories.

Psilocybin as a novel treatment for chronic pain

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 14, Page 3992-4005, July 2026.
Abstract Psychedelic drugs are under active consideration for clinical use and have generated significant interest for their potential as anti‐nociceptive treatments for chronic pain, and for addressing conditions like depression, frequently co‐morbid with pain.
