GABA\u3csub\u3eA\u3c/sub\u3e and excitatory amino acid receptors in dorsomedial hypothalamus and heart rate in rats [PDF]

, 1991
We have previously shown that microinjection of drugs that interfere with the function of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) into the hypothalamus produces cardiorespiratory and behavioral changes resembling those seen in ...

Platelet-derived growth factor-BB pretreatment attenuates excitotoxic death in cultured hippocampal neurons

Neurobiology of Disease, 2005
Neuronal excitotoxic death results from excess stimulation by elevated levels of extracellular glutamate acting on N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors.

An Insight into Animal Glutamate Receptors Homolog of Arabidopsis thaliana and Their Potential Applications—A Review

Plants, 2022
Most excitatory impulses received by neurons are mediated by ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs). These receptors are located at the apex and play an important role in memory, neuronal development, and synaptic plasticity.

Neurotoxicity [PDF]

, 2014
Neurotoxicity refers to the direct or indirect effect of chemicals that disrupt the nervous system of humans or animals. Numerous chemicals can produce neurotoxic diseases in humans, and many more are used as experimental tools to disturb or damage the ...

Distinct roles for inhibition in spatial and temporal tuning of local edge detectors in the rabbit retina. [PDF]

, 2014
This paper examines the role of inhibition in generating the receptive-field properties of local edge detector (LED) ganglion cells in the rabbit retina. We confirm that the feed-forward inhibition is largely glycinergic but, contrary to a recent report,

Unique Features of Network Bursts Emerge From the Complex Interplay of Excitatory and Inhibitory Receptors in Rat Neocortical Networks

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Spontaneous network activity plays a fundamental role in the formation of functional networks during early development. The landmark of this activity is the recurrent emergence of intensive time-limited network bursts (NBs) rapidly spreading across the ...

Amino acids in the vitreous and intravitreal fluid in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment patients with different proliferative vitreoretinopathy grades

Journal of Ophthalmology, 2015
Background:Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is known to worsen the treatment prognosis of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and to result in irreversible loss of vision due to apoptotic or necrotic process in retinal neurons. Some studies have

Neuropharmacological targets for drug action in vestibular sensory pathways [PDF]

, 2017
The use of pharmacological agents is often the preferred approach to the management of vestibular dysfunction. In the vestibular sensory pathways, the sensory neuroepithelia are thought to be influenced by a diverse number of neuroactive substances that ...

Inhibition of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier protects from excitotoxic neuronal death. [PDF]

, 2017
Glutamate is the dominant excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, but under conditions of metabolic stress it can accumulate to excitotoxic levels.

Reversal of parkinsonian symptoms in primates by antagonism of excitatory amino acid transmission: potential mechanisms of action. [PDF]

, 1997
Parkinsonism is characterised by overactive glutamatergic transmission in the cortico-striatal and subthalamo-medial pallidal pathways. Local blockade of glutamatergic transmission in these pathways can alleviate parkinsonian symptoms.
