Endocytosis of GluN2B-containing NMDA receptor mediates NMDA-induced excitotoxicity
Molecular Pain, 2017 N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor overactivation is involved in neuronal damage after stroke. However, the mechanism underlying NMDA receptor-mediated excitotoxicity remains unclear.

Potential protective roles of phytochemicals on glutamate-induced neurotoxicity: A review [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2020 Glutamate, as an essential neurotransmitter, has been thought to have different roles in the central nervous system (CNS), including nerve regeneration, synaptogenesis, and neurogenesis.

Mechanism of Zinc Excitotoxicity: A Focus on AMPK
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 Over the last 20 years, it has been shown that complex signaling cascades are involved in zinc excitotoxicity. Free zinc rapidly induces PKC activation, which causes reactive oxygen species (ROS) production at least in part through NADPH oxidase. It also

Age Associated Sleep Loss: A Trigger For Alzheimer’s Disease
Psychiatry and Clinical Psychopharmacology, 2021 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an untreatable, multifactorial, chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative disorder, which is the principal cause of dementia throughout the world and the fourth most important cause of death in developed economies after cancer,

The Susceptibility of Retinal Ganglion Cells to Glutamatergic Excitotoxicity Is Type-Specific
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the only output neurons that conduct visual signals from the eyes to the brain. RGC degeneration occurs in many retinal diseases leading to blindness and increasing evidence suggests that RGCs are susceptible to various ...

Tau exacerbates excitotoxic brain damage in an animal model of stroke
Nature Communications, 2017 Excitotoxicity contributes to neuronal injury following stroke. Here the authors show that tau promotes excitotoxicity by a post-synaptic mechanism, involving site-specific control of ERK activation, in a mouse model of stroke.

Inappropriate Intrusion of an Axonal Mitochondrial Anchor into Dendrites Causes Neurodegeneration
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: Syntaphilin (SNPH) is a major mitochondrial anchoring protein targeted to axons and excluded from dendrites. In this study, we provide in vivo evidence that this spatial specificity is lost in Shiverer (Shi) mice, a model for progressive ...
