Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021 Abstract Objectives Acute cerebral ischemia is characterized by several pathological processes evolving during time, which contribute to the final tissue damage. Secondary processes, such as prolonged inflammatory response, impaired mitochondrial function and oxidative stress, are responsible for the progression of brain injury to the peri‐infarct area,

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Neuronal death induced by overactivation of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) is implicated in the pathophysiology of many neurodegenerative diseases such as stroke, epilepsy and traumatic brain injury.

Chronic cocaine enhances release of neuroprotective amino acid taurine: a microdialysis study [PDF]
, 2008 Cocaine inhibits high-affinity neurotransmitter uptake at the presynaptic nerve terminals to increase synaptic levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin^1^. This increase of synaptic dopamine may cause neurotoxicity^2,3^.

Mitochondria and neuronal glutamate excitotoxicity
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 1998 The role of mitochondria in the control of glutamate excitotoxicity is investigated. The response of cultured cerebellar granule cells to continuous glutamate exposure is characterised by a transient elevation in cytoplasmic free calcium concentration followed by decay to a plateau as NMDA receptors partially inactivate. After a variable latent period,

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls
Epilepsia 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 ...

The NMDA receptor complex: a multifunctional machine at the glutamatergic synapse
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014 The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are part of a large multiprotein complex at the glutamatergic synapse. The assembly of NMDARs with synaptic proteins offers a means to regulate NMDAR channel properties and receptor trafficking, and couples ...

All quiet on the neuronal front: NMDA receptor inhibition by prion protein [PDF]
, 2008 The normal function of the prion protein (PrP)—the causative agent of mad cow or prion disease—has long remained out of reach. Deciphering PrP's function may help to unravel the complex chain of events triggered by PrP misfolding during prion disease. In

Glia, EarlyView.The glial Na+ pump regulates [K+]o during neuronal activity, and the neuronal version restores [K+]o to baseline. Spreading depression‐related rise of K+ does not cause SD propagation via suppression of Na+/K+‐ATPase or glutamate transport. ABSTRACT Neuronal activity in the central nervous system is associated with a [K+]o transient that is swiftly ...

Relevance of Gap Junctions and Large Pore Channels in Traumatic Brain Injury
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 In case of traumatic brain injury (TBI), occurrence of central nervous tissue damage is frequently aligned with local modulations of neuronal and glial gap junction channel expression levels.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Improve Recovery, whereas Omega-6 Fatty Acids Worsen Outcome, after Spinal Cord Injury in the Adult Rat [PDF]
, 2006 Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a cause of major neurological disability, and no satisfactory treatment is currently available. Evidence suggests that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) could target some of the pathological mechanisms that underlie damage ...
