Epilepsia, 2019 Sex differences are evident in the antiseizure activity of neurosteroids; however, the potential mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we sought to determine whether differences in target extrasynaptic δ‐subunit γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABA‐A ...

Glutamate Receptors and Synaptic Plasticity in Health and Disease: A Personal Journey
Hippocampus, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT I describe my progress in understanding synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. Over the decades my lab has focused on the roles of glutamate receptors (AMPARs, NMDARs, mGluRs and KARs) and associated signaling molecules in LTP and LTD. Most of our studies have been conducted in area CA1 (Schaffer collateral—commissural pathway) with some ...

Extrasynaptic site of action for γ-hydroxybutyrate [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 Advances in pharmacology often result from identifying the mechanism of action of drugs found empirically to be biologically active (1). γ-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), also known as Fantasy, is a centrally active agent that has been used clinically and recreationally for nearly half a century.

Extrasynaptic GABA(A) receptors and tonic inhibition in rat auditory thalamus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Neural inhibition plays an important role in auditory processing and attentional gating. Extrasynaptic GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)R), containing α(4)and δ GABA(A)R subunits, are thought to be activated by GABA spillover outside of the synapse following ...

FGF-2 Induces Neuronal Death through Upregulation of System xc- [PDF]
, 2014 The cystine/glutamate antiporter (system xc-) transports cystine into cell in exchange for glutamate. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) upregulates system xc- selectively on astrocytes, which leads to increased cystine uptake, the substrate for ...

Addiction Biology, Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2026.Rats treated with the domain‐selective BET inhibitor RVX‐208 during a 2‐week forced abstinence period exhibited a reduction in cocaine‐seeking behaviour but not sucrose seeking or open field behaviour. This treatment effect was associated with proteomic changes in pathways relevant to dopaminergic and glutamatergic signalling in the nucleus accumbens ...

In developing hippocampal neurons, NR2B-containing N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) can mediate signaling to neuronal survival and synaptic potentiation, as well as neuronal death [PDF]
, 2009 It has been suggested that NR2B-containing N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors have a selective tendency to promote pro-death signaling and synaptic depression, compared with the survival promoting, synapse potentiating properties of NR2A-containing ...

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, Volume 80, Issue 1, Page 76-86, January 2026.Aim To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral zuranolone for 14 days, compared with placebo, in Japanese patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Methods This multicenter, Phase 3 study was conducted in two parts (70 sites; Japan) including a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, parallel‐group part presented herein.

In vivo evidence for NMDA receptor mediated excitotoxicity in a murine genetic model of Huntington Disease [PDF]
, 2008 N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) mediated excitotoxicity is implicated as a proximate cause of neurodegeneration in Huntington Disease (HD). However, this hypothesis has not been tested rigorously in vivo. NMDAR NR2B-subunits are the predominant NR2

The activity of isolated neurons and the modulatory state of an isolated nervous system represent a recent behavioural state [PDF]
, 2015 Behavioural/motivational state is known to influence nearly all aspects of physiology and behaviour. The cellular basis of behavioural state control is only partially understood.
