Endogenous Dopamine and Endocannabinoid Signaling Mediate Cocaine-Induced Reversal of AMPAR Synaptic Potentiation in the Nucleus Accumbens Shell [PDF]

, 2018
Repeated exposure to drugs of abuse alters the structure and function of neural circuits mediating reward, generating maladaptive plasticity in circuits critical for motivated behavior.

Early functional and structural hippocampal impairment in a bilateral common carotid artery stenosis mouse model

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Our study used behavioral tests, laser speckle flowmetry, long‐term potentiation, histochemical staining, molecular experiments, and voxel‐based morphometry to evaluate the hippocampal impairments. It demonstrates early functional and structural impairments in the hippocampus contributing to learning and memory deficits after 1 month of BCAS ...

Towards the convergent therapeutic potential of G protein‐coupled receptors in autism spectrum disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are diagnosed in 1/100 children worldwide, based on two core symptoms: deficits in social interaction and communication, and stereotyped behaviours. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell‐surface receptors that transduce extracellular signals to convergent intracellular signalling ...

Chronobiology of Epilepsy [PDF]

, 2008
A fine balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition governs the physiological state of the brain. It has been hypothesized that when this balance is lost as a result of excessive excitation or reduced inhibition, pathological states such as ...

Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) restrain nucleus tractus solitarii (nTS) activity induced by ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptor activation

Revista Cubana de Investigaciones Biomédicas, 2020
Introduction: Glutamate (Glu) is the primary excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter released from visceral afferents in the nTS. Glu binds to postsynaptic ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs, AMPA or NMDA) to induce rapid phasic synaptic currents and ...

Metal‐Mediated Protein Engineering within Live Cells

Chemistry – An Asian Journal, Volume 20, Issue 6, March 17, 2025.
This review discusses how metal ions can mediate protein modification within live cells. With its easy handling, rapid solubility, and ease of internalization within the cells, metal ions can be an excellent stimulus for many organic reactions needed within an intracellular medium, which can modify proteins and lead to applications in chemistry ...

Gαq signalling from endosomes: A new conundrum

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of membrane receptors, and are involved in the transmission of a variety of extracellular stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, light and odorants into intracellular responses.

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).

Synaptic sampling: A connection between PSP variability and uncertainty explains neurophysiological observations [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
When an action potential is transmitted to a postsynaptic neuron, a small change in the postsynaptic neuron's membrane potential occurs. These small changes, known as a postsynaptic potentials (PSPs), are highly variable, and current models assume that this variability is corrupting noise.

Benzochalcogenodiazoles, Synthesis, and Applications in Medicinal Chemistry and Photomedicine

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Benzochalcogenodiazoles (BXD) including benzoxadiazoles, benzothiadiazoles, and benzoselenadiazoles are initially mainly designed for optoelectronic materials as electron‐deficient cores. Nevertheless, they are now extending their application to biology.
