Changes in the cortical GABAergic inhibitory system with ageing and ageing‐related neurodegenerative diseases

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 2, Page 689-706, 15 January 2026.
Abstract figure legend With ageing and age‐related neurodegenerative diseases, the amount of GABA and GABAergic inhibition as well as the modulation (indicated by sine wave) of GABAergic inhibition is reduced, whereas excitation is increased. In many parts of the brain, this leads to a mismatch of facilitatory (green neurons) and inhibitory (red ...

Tetramethylenedisulfotetramine alters Ca²⁺ dynamics in cultured hippocampal neurons: mitigation by NMDA receptor blockade and GABA(A) receptor-positive modulation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Tetramethylenedisulfotetramine (TETS) is a potent convulsant that is considered a chemical threat agent. We characterized TETS as an activator of spontaneous Ca²⁺ oscillations and electrical burst discharges in mouse hippocampal neuronal cultures at 13 ...

Astrocytes and extracellular matrix in extrasynaptic volume transmission [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014
Volume transmission is a form of intercellular communication that does not require synapses; it is based on the diffusion of neuroactive substances across the brain extracellular space (ECS) and their binding to extrasynaptic high-affinity receptors on neurons or glia.

Phasic, nonsynaptic GABA-A receptor-mediated inhibition entrains thalamocortical oscillations. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
GABA-A receptors (GABA-ARs) are typically expressed at synaptic or nonsynaptic sites mediating phasic and tonic inhibition, respectively. These two forms of inhibition conjointly control various network oscillations.

The Interconnected Factors of Emotional Regulation, Trauma, and Substance Use in Non‐Suicidal Self‐Injury: A Case Study and Literature Review

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Non‐suicidal self‐injury (NSSI) is a complex and often misunderstood behavior linked to emotional dysregulation, trauma, and substance use. In this case report we present a 19‐year‐old female with a history of childhood trauma and substance use, who engaged in self‐injurious behavior as a coping mechanism to manage distress and maintain ...

Extrasynaptic GABAAReceptors: Form, Pharmacology, and Function [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2009
GABA is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS and acts via GABAAand GABABreceptors. Recently, a novel form of GABAAreceptor-mediated inhibition, termed “tonic” inhibition, has been described. Whereas synaptic GABAAreceptors underlie classical “phasic” GABAAreceptor-mediated inhibition (inhibitory postsynaptic currents), tonic ...

GABAA receptors and neuroligin 2 synergize to promote synaptic adhesion and inhibitory synaptogenesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
GABAA receptors (γ-aminobutyric acid-gated receptors type A; GABAARs), the major structural and functional postsynaptic components of inhibitory synapses in the mammalian brain, belong to a family of GABA-gated Cl−/HCO3− ion channels.

Defective GABAergic neurotransmission in the nucleus tractus solitarius in Mecp2-null mice, a model of Rett syndrome

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2018
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a devastating neurodevelopmental disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the X-linked methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (Mecp2) gene.

Reduction in Phencyclidine Induced Sensorimotor Gating Deficits in the Rat Following Increased System Xc − Activity in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Rationale: Aspects of schizophrenia, including deficits in sensorimotor gating, have been linked to glutamate dysfunction and/or oxidative stress in the prefrontal cortex. System xc −, a cystine–glutamate antiporter, is a poorly understood mechanism that

Amyloid Beta in Alzheimer's Disease: Mechanisms, Biomarker Potential, and Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 31, Issue 12, December 2025.
The limited clinical efficacy of anti‐Aβ antibodies has challenged the Aβ hypothesis, compelling the integration of key mechanisms—including neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and post‐translational modifications of Aβ—into a revised model of Alzheimer's disease.
