Migraine and cluster headache show impaired neurosteroids patterns [PDF]
, 2019 Background: Perturbation of neuronal excitability contributes to migraine. Neurosteroids modulate the activity of γ-aminobutyric acid A and N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors, and might be involved in the pathogenesis of migraine.

Acetylcholine receptors in regenerating muscle accumulate at original synaptic sites in the absence of the nerve. [PDF]
, 1979 We examined the role of nerve terminals in organizing acetylcholine receptors on regenerating skeletal-muscle fibers. When muscle fibers are damaged, they degenerate and are phagocytized, but their basal lamina sheaths survive.

Zuranolone: A case study in (regulatory) rush to judgement?
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Sage, in collaboration with Biogen, submitted a new drug approval for zuranolone for postpartum depression (PPD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) in December 2022. In August 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration granted approval for PPD but denied approval for MDD.

Pathophysiological role of extrasynaptic GABAA receptors in typical absence epilepsy [PDF]
, 2011 GABA is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian CNS. It acts via two classes of receptors, the GABAA, a ligand gated ion channel (ionotropic receptor) and the metabotropic G-protein coupled GABAB receptor.

Common Ribs of Inhibitory Synaptic Dysfunction in the Umbrella of Neurodevelopmental Disorders
, 2018 The term neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) is an umbrella term used to group together a heterogeneous class of disorders characterized by disruption in cognition, emotion, and behavior, early in the developmental timescale.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Repeated \u3cem\u3eN\u3c/em\u3e-Acetylcysteine Administration Alters Plasticity-Dependent Effects of Cocaine [PDF]
, 2007 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.

Contrasting alterations to synaptic and intrinsic properties in upper-cervical superficial dorsal horn neurons following acute neck muscle inflammation [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Acute and chronic pain in axial structures, like the back and neck, are difficult to treat, and have incidence as high as 15%. Surprisingly, most preclinical work on pain mechanisms focuses on cutaneous structures in the limbs and animal ...

Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.
