Theta oscillations, epileptogenesis, and focal seizures in rodent models of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Theta oscillations (4–12 Hz) are a prominent network rhythm within hippocampal and parahippocampal structures. Driven by cholinergic and γ‐aminobutyric acidergic inputs originating from the medial septum, physiological theta gates network excitability to control spatial navigation, memory encoding, and sensorimotor integration during specific ...

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Neonatal seizures and GABAergic drugs: Scylla and Charybdis?

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Neonates have a high incidence of seizures that are frequently difficult to control with conventional first‐line anti‐seizure medications, which are gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists. The reasons for this clinical problem are multifold but are likely related to the unique physiology of the immature nervous system. Specifically, the early

Interaction between the antioxidant activity of curcumin and cholinergic system on memory retention in adult male Wistar rats [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2015
Objective(s):  The cholinergic system plays an important role in learning and memory. This study investigated the effects of curcumin (turmeric extract) and the cholinergic system and their interaction on memory retention of passive avoidance learning in

Oscillometric assessment of bronchodilator response in horses with severe asthma during remission

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background During clinical remission of severe equine asthma (SEA), affected animals can be challenging to distinguish from healthy horses. In humans, the degree of bronchodilation achieved with a β2‐adrenergic bronchodilator is helpful in differentiating asthmatics from healthy subjects.

Simultaneous release of glutamate and acetylcholine from single magnocellular "cholinergic" basal forebrain neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Basal forebrain (BF) neurons provide the principal cholinergic drive to the hippocampus and cortex. Their degeneration is associated with the cognitive defects of Alzheimer's disease. Immunohistochemical studies suggest that some of these neurons contain

Progress in the Role of Mast Cells and Biomolecular Signals in the Mechanism of Postoperative Ileus: From Cellular Activation to Exploration of the Brain–Gut Axis

open access: yesGut Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Postoperative ileus (POI) is a frequent complication after surgical procedures, predominantly manifesting as aberrant gastrointestinal motility, which markedly extends the duration of postoperative recovery for patients. The clinical duration of POI is typically modulated by intricate inflammatory cascades, with mast cells assuming a critical ...

Modulation of cholinergic synaptic transmission in an identified locust sensory pathway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The monosynaptic connection between the locust forewing stretch receptor (fSR) and the first basalar motoneuron (BAl) is part of a sensory pathway involved in flight.

The Cholinergic Pathways in Inflammation: A Potential Pharmacotherapeutic Target for COPD

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
In COPD, the activity of the cholinergic system is increased, which is one of the reasons for the airflow limitation caused by the contraction of airway smooth muscles.

Bidirectional Pathological Axis Between Alzheimer's Disease and Circadian Rhythm Disturbance: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies

open access: yesiNew Medicine, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates a bidirectional vicious cycle between Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and circadian rhythm disturbance (CRD). On the one hand, AD pathology, including amyloid‐β (Aβ) plaque deposition and tau hyperphosphorylation, may damage the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and disrupt melatonin signaling, leading to sleep fragmentation ...
