The role of spinal cord extrasynaptic α5GABAA receptors in chronic pain
Physiological Reports, 2021 Chronic pain is an incapacitating condition that affects a large population worldwide. Until now, there is no drug treatment to relieve it. The impairment of GABAergic inhibition mediated by GABAA receptors (GABAAR) is considered a relevant factor in ...

Extrasynaptic δ-subunit containing GABAA receptors [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2021 γ-Aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs) are GABA gated heteropentameric chloride channels responsible for the adult brain’s primary inhibition.

A quantitative method to assess extrasynaptic NMDA receptor function in the protective effect of synaptic activity against neurotoxicity [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2008 Background Extrasynaptic NMDA receptors couple to a CREB shut-off pathway and cause cell death, whereas synaptic NMDA receptors and nuclear calcium signaling promote CREB-mediated transcription and neuronal survival.

Neurobiology of Disease, 2012 We recently reported evidence for disturbed synaptic versus extrasynaptic NMDAR transmission in the early pathogenesis of Huntington's disease (HD), a late-onset neurodegenerative disorder caused by CAG repeat expansion in the gene encoding huntingtin ...

Neurobiology of Disease, 2013 Excitotoxicity plays a central role in the neuronal damage during ischemic stroke. Although growing evidence suggests that activation of extrasynaptic NMDA receptors initiates neuronal death, no direct evidence demonstrated their activation during ...

Non-Neuronal Acetylcholinesterase Activity Shows Limited Utility for Early Detection of Sepsis
Biomedicines, 2023 (1) Background: Sepsis is a severe systemic inflammatory condition characterized by rapid clinical deterioration and organ dysfunction. The cholinergic system has been implicated in modulating the inflammatory response.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022 Rapid increases in cell volume reduce the size of the extracellular space (ECS) and are associated with elevated brain tissue excitability. We recently demonstrated that astrocytes, but not neurons, rapidly swell in elevated extracellular potassium (∧[K+]

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2008 Glycine and GABA mediate inhibitory neurotransmission in the spinal cord and central nervous system. The general concept of neurotransmission is now challenged by the contribution of both phasic activation of postsynaptic glycine and GABAA receptors ...

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Despite numerous advances, treatment-resistant seizures remain an important problem. Loss of neuronal inhibition is present in a variety of epilepsy models and is suggested as a mechanism for increased excitability, leading to the proposal that grafting ...
