Evidence suggests that inhibition of α/β hydrolase-domain containing 6 (ABHD6) reduces seizures; however, the molecular mechanism of this therapeutic response remains unknown.

Repeated \u3cem\u3eN\u3c/em\u3e-Acetylcysteine Administration Alters Plasticity-Dependent Effects of Cocaine [PDF]
Cocaine produces a persistent reduction in cystine–glutamate exchange via system xc− in the nucleus accumbens that may contribute to pathological glutamate signaling linked to addiction.

Contribution of Cystine-Glutamate Antiporters to the Psychotomimetic Effects of Phencyclidine [PDF]
Altered glutamate signaling contributes to a myriad of neural disorders, including schizophrenia. While synaptic levels are intensely studied, nonvesicular release mechanisms, including cystine–glutamate exchange, maintain high steady-state glutamate ...

Microglial VRK2 Regulates Astrocytic GABA Synthesis and Tonic Inhibition in the Thalamus
In Vrk2‐deficient mice, tonic GABA inhibition is reduced in the mediodorsal thalamus due to impaired astrocytic GABA synthesis. Microglial VRK2 regulates this process via TNF‐α signaling, revealing a glial–glial mechanism of thalamic inhibition.

Previous studies tracking AMPA receptor (AMPAR) diffusion at synapses observed a large mobile extrasynaptic AMPAR pool. Using super-resolution microscopy, we examined how fluorophore size and photostability affected AMPAR trafficking outside of, and ...

Blunted Cystine–Glutamate Antiporter Function in the Nucleus Accumbens Promotes Cocaine-induced Drug Seeking [PDF]
Repeated cocaine alters glutamate neurotransmission, in part, by reducing cystine–glutamate exchange via system xc−, which maintains glutamate levels and receptor stimulation in the extrasynaptic compartment.

A computational laminar model links fast interneuron dysfunction to early hyperexcitability and late hypoactivity in Alzheimer's disease, reproducing key M/EEG biomarkers and capturing the disease's biphasic electrophysiological progression. ABSTRACT Early‐stage AD involves cortical hyperexcitability, progressing to oscillatory slowing and hypoactivity.

Loss-of-consciousness: sources of GABAergic input to the mesopontine tegmental anesthesia area
Exposure of neurons in the brainstem mesopontine tegmental anesthesia area (MPTA) to minute quantities of GABAergic general anesthetics at clinically relevant concentrations is sufficient to induce loss-of-consciousness (LOC), while lesioning this ...

Photo-antagonism of the GABAA receptor [PDF]
Neurotransmitter receptor trafficking is fundamentally important for synaptic transmission and neural network activity. GABAA receptors and inhibitory synapses are vital components of brain function, yet much of our knowledge regarding receptor mobility ...
