Abstract Representation of Movement Parameters in Basal Ganglia Output
The basal ganglia output provides a scalable velocity/position signal across behavioral contexts, supporting the idea that these variables are represented in the brain as abstract entities rather than as fixed changes in joint angles or specific sets of body effectors.

Hederagenin is identified as a GABAA1‐targeting natural compound that suppresses morphine‐associated reward by restraining Ca2+–CaMK–cAMP–CREB signaling in ventral tegmental dopaminergic neurons. RVG29‐modified liposomal delivery further enhances brain accumulation and behavioral efficacy, providing a mechanistically defined strategy for natural ...

GABA(A) receptor phospho-dependent modulation is regulated by phospholipase C-related inactive protein type 1, a novel protein phosphatase 1 anchoring protein [PDF]
GABA(A) receptors are critical in controlling neuronal activity. Here, we examined the role for phospholipase C-related inactive protein type 1 (PRIP-1), which binds and inactivates protein phosphatase 1alpha (PP1alpha) in facilitating GABA(A) receptor ...

Membranes and Synaptosomes Used to Investigate Synaptic GABAergic Currents in Epileptic Patients
Among the most prevalent neurological disorders, epilepsy affects about 1% of the population worldwide. We previously found, using human epileptic tissues, that GABAergic neurotransmission impairment is a key mechanism that drives the pathological ...

Bioenergetic Materials for Tissue Regeneration: Modulating Metabolism to Promote Cellular Anabolism
Bioenergetic materials (BEMs) modulate cellular metabolism to promote tissue regeneration. Their principal mechanisms of action include metabolic substrate supplementation, metabolic enzyme modulation, organelle transfer, electrical current regulation, redox homeostasis modulation, and oxygen tension modulation.

A Molecularly Defined Midbrain Circuit Mechanism for Sound‐Driven Defensive Behavior and Anxiety
Schematic diagram showing the Cbln2+ ICx–dPAG circuit for sound‐driven defensive and anxiety‐like behaviors. ABSTRACT The innate defense behaviors in response to threatening sounds play a fundamental role in survival. However, the neural circuits that detect threat‐relevant auditory cues and transform them into defensive behaviors remain poorly defined.

Manganese‐modulated chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI, Manga CEST, leverages intracellular Mn2+ uptake to selectively perturb CEST contrast. Comparing Z‐spectra before and after Mn reveals compartment‐specific contributions. In vivo, neuron‐enriched Mn accumulation induces frequency‐dependent attenuation (3–4 ppm), enabling cell‐weighted

In vivo co-ordinated interactions between inhibitory systems to control glutamate mediated hippocampal excitability. [PDF]
We present an overview of the long-term adaptation of hippocampal neurotransmission to cholinergic and GABAergic deafferentation caused by excitotoxic lesion of the medial septum.

Drug Repurposing for Treating NCOR‐Related Intellectual Disability
An autism‐associated NCOR1 heterozygous mutation upregulates NRGs and activates NRG backward signaling in hypothalamic GABAergic neurons in mouse models, leading to Gabra2 downregulation and cognitive deficits, which can be therapeutically targeted by repurposing FDA‐approved drugs.

An electrophysiological study of the interaction between fenamate NSAIDs and the GABA(_A) receptor [PDF]
The effects of certain NSAIDs were determined on agonist-evoked responses recorded from rat neurones maintained in vitro using electrophysiological techniques. Initially, the rat isolated vagus and optic nerves were employed. Alphaxalone, pentobarbitone,
