The serine hydrolase ABHD6 controls survival and thermally induced seizures in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome

Neurobiology of Disease, 2023
Evidence suggests that inhibition of α/β hydrolase-domain containing 6 (ABHD6) reduces seizures; however, the molecular mechanism of this therapeutic response remains unknown.

An iEEG investigation on sex‐specific differences in seizure duration

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Male people with epilepsy (mPWE) are at higher risk for bilateral tonic–clonic seizures (BTCs) and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) compared to female people with epilepsy (fPWE). Despite major clinical and personal implications, little is known about sex‐specific differences in seizure propagation and termination ...

Loss-of-consciousness: sources of GABAergic input to the mesopontine tegmental anesthesia area

Frontiers in Neuroscience
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 ...

BDNF Reduces Toxic Extrasynaptic NMDA Receptor Signaling via Synaptic NMDA Receptors and Nuclear-Calcium-Induced Transcription of inhba/Activin A

Cell Reports, 2015
The health of neurons is critically dependent on the relative signaling intensities of survival-promoting synaptic and death-inducing extrasynaptic NMDA receptors.

The general anaesthetic etomidate inhibits the excitability of mouse thalamocortical relay neurons by modulating multiple modes of GABA_A receptor-mediated inhibition [PDF]

, 2014
Modulation of thalamocortical (TC) relay neuron function has been implicated in the sedative and hypnotic effects of general anaesthetics. Inhibition of TC neurons is mediated predominantly by a combination of phasic and tonic inhibition, together with a

Tannic Acid Mitigates Monosodium Glutamate‐Induced Cortical Damage by Modulating Synaptic and Calcium‐Related Gene and Protein Expression

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neurotoxicity induced by excessive glutamatergic signaling is associated with synaptic dysfunction, calcium imbalance, and oxidative stress, which are key molecular events implicated in several neurodegenerative conditions. Monosodium glutamate (MSG), a common flavor enhancer, may exert neurotoxic effects, particularly on synaptic integrity ...

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.

Blunted Cystine–Glutamate Antiporter Function in the Nucleus Accumbens Promotes Cocaine-induced Drug Seeking [PDF]

, 2008
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.

Augmented Cystine–Glutamate Exchange by Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-activating Polypeptide Signaling via the VPAC1 Receptor [PDF]

, 2014
In the central nervous system, cystine import in exchange for glutamate through system xc- is critical for the production of the antioxidant glutathione by astrocytes, as well as the maintenance of extracellular glutamate. Therefore, regulation of system

Developmental Profiling of Structural and Functional Maturation in Mouse Corpus Callosum

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 6, June 2026.
Progressive myelin development in mouse corpus callosum is accompanied by gradual decrease in oligodendrocyte precursor cell density and increase in oligodendrocyte density. Pro‐Capase‐3 is transiently upregulated in oligodendrocyte during postnatal development.
