Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective A benzodiazepine (diazepam or midazolam) is one of the current standards of care therapies to effectively terminate organophosphorus nerve agent‐induced status epilepticus when administered shortly after onset. Preclinical studies showed that benzodiazepines were less effective in stopping status epilepticus when treatment was ...

Cholinergic neural activity directs retinal layer-specific angiogenesis and blood retinal barrier formation. [PDF]
, 2019 Blood vessels in the central nervous system (CNS) develop unique features, but the contribution of CNS neurons to regulating those features is not fully understood. We report that inhibiting spontaneous cholinergic activity or reducing starburst amacrine

Exploration, EarlyView.Selenium (Se) is a crucial element in selenoproteins, key biomolecules for physiological function in vivo. Central nervous system can express all 25 kinds of selenoproteins, which protect neurons by reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Neuroprotection is being investigated through the biological study of Se.

Early Life Stress, Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Alcohol Use Disorders
Brain Sciences, 2015 Stress is a major driving force in alcohol use disorders (AUDs). It influences how much one consumes, craving intensity and whether an abstinent individual will return to harmful alcohol consumption. We are most vulnerable to the effects of stress during

A cellular and regulatory map of the cholinergic nervous system of C. elegans
eLife, 2015 Nervous system maps are of critical importance for understanding how nervous systems develop and function. We systematically map here all cholinergic neuron types in the male and hermaphrodite C. elegans nervous system.

Glia, EarlyView.In SOD1 mice, symptomatic spinal microglia and astrocytes show increased autophagy flux with greater dysfunction and SOD1 inclusions in astrocytes. Dysfunction was transient (end stage glia displayed control comparable levels of autophagy parameters). ABSTRACT Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is defined by motor neuron death.

The Cholinergic Gene Locus [PDF]
Journal of Neurochemistry, 1998 Abstract: Messenger RNAs and the cognate gene(s) encoding choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and the vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) have been cloned from mammals and several other animal classes in the last decade. These have provided molecular tools for investigating acetylcholine synthesis and packaging into synaptic vesicles, the genesis ...

Progress of non‐motor symptoms in early‐onset Parkinson's disease
Ibrain, EarlyView.This study reviews the research progress related to non‐motor symptoms (NMS) in patients with early onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD), including neuropsychiatric symptoms, autonomic dysfunction, sleep disorders, and sensory disorders and also summarizes the characteristics of NMS in the genetic form of Parkinson's disease (PD).

A cell autonomous torsinA requirement for cholinergic neuron survival and motor control
eLife, 2018 Cholinergic dysfunction is strongly implicated in dystonia pathophysiology. Previously (Pappas et al., 2015;4:e08352), we reported that Dlx5/6-Cre mediated forebrain deletion of the DYT1 dystonia protein torsinA (Dlx-CKO) causes abnormal twisting and ...
