Indirect Striatal Projection Neurons Drive a D2 Receptor‐Dependent Pathway to Dyskinesia and Dystonia

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
D2 receptor ablation in indirect‐pathway striatal neurons reduces or abolishes dyskinetic and dystonic behaviors induced by L‐DOPA or D2 receptor agonists, respectively. Contralateral turning is reduced, while forward locomotion is increased. These effects are associated with modulation of neuronal activity in dorsal striatum and external globus ...

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, EarlyView.
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 ...

Review of nutrition management of pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (CIPO) is a rare, heterogeneous, and debilitating disorder characterized by profound intestinal dysmotility and severe nutrition challenges. Its presentation resembles that of mechanical bowel obstruction, but CIPO occurs in the absence of luminal obstruction.

Neuroprotective effects of ursodeoxycholic acid in Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
In Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), various shared pathological mechanisms exist. UDCA has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in preclinical and clinical studies. Such effects include the mitigation of neuroinflammation as well as rescue effects on mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and ...

Dual role of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the retrosplenial cortex for aversive memory acquisition and retrieval

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience
In the retrosplenial cortex (RSC), the role of cholinergic modulation via α7 nicotinic receptors and their involvement in memory is unknown. In recent years, the RSC has been shown to deteriorate in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Likewise,

Comparison of Different Neostigmine Doses for Reversal of Cisatracurium‐Induced Neuromuscular Block in Children Under Total Intravenous Anesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neostigmine is widely used to reverse nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockade in children, but the optimal dose under total intravenous anesthesia is uncertain. Aims The primary aim was to compare the time to full neuromuscular recovery (TOF ratio of 1.0) following administration of neostigmine at doses of 0, 10, 20, and 30 μg/kg in ...

Systems level circuit model of C. elegans undulatory locomotion: mathematical modeling and molecular genetics [PDF]

, 2007
To establish the relationship between locomotory behavior and dynamics of neural circuits in the nematode C. elegans we combined molecular and theoretical approaches. In particular, we quantitatively analyzed the motion of C.

Biological Functions of Keratinocyte Cholinergic Receptors

Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings, 1997
Human epidermal keratinocytes possess cholinergic enzymes, which synthesize and degrade acetylcholine, and express both nicotinic and muscarinic classes of cholinergic receptors on their cell surfaces. These receptors bind acetylcholine and initiate cellular response.
