Output of neurogliaform cells to various neuron types in the human and rat cerebral cortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2007
Neurogliaform cells in the rat elicit combined GABAA and GABAB receptor-mediated postsynaptic responses on cortical pyramidal cells and establish electrical synapses with various interneuron types.

Two Amino Acid Residues Contribute to a Cation-π Binding Interaction in the Binding Site of an Insect GABA Receptor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Cys-loop receptor binding sites characteristically possess an "aromatic box," where several aromatic amino acid residues surround the bound ligand. A cation-π interaction between one of these residues and the natural agonist is common, although the ...

Rat models of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders for studying the critical role of cerebellar damage: A scoping review

open access: yesAlcohol, Clinical and Experimental Research, EarlyView.
In rat models used to study the effects of early alcohol exposure on cerebellum function and structure during pregnancy and lactation, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) Exposure to ethanol during the first and second‐trimester equivalent in humans affects biochemical pathways in the cerebellum, but produces fewer structural changes.

Cancer Stem Cells are Depolarized Relative to Normal Stem Cells Derived from Human Livers

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology, 2017
Introduction and aim. The inability to distinguish cancer (CSCs) from normal stem cells (NSCs) has hindered attempts to identify safer, more effective therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

The fast‐dissociating D2 antagonist antipsychotic JNJ‐37822681 is a neuronal Kv7 channel opener: Potential repurposing for epilepsy treatment

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Pharmacological activation of neuronal M‐current mediated by Kv7 (Kv7.2–5) potassium channels is a validated mechanism for epilepsy treatment. However, since the market withdrawal of the prototype Kv7 activator retigabine, no Kv7 activator is clinically available for this condition.

Maternal restraint stress delays maturation of cation-chloride cotransporters and GABAA receptor subunits in the hippocampus of rat pups at puberty

open access: yesNeurobiology of Stress, 2016
The GABAergic synapse undergoes structural and functional maturation during early brain development. Maternal stress alters GABAergic synapses in the pup's brain that are associated with the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders in adults ...

Structure–activity relationship of the allosteric effects of ivermectin at human P2X4 and GABAA receptors

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and purpose Positive allosteric modulation of the P2X4 receptor is a potential route to providing cardiovascular benefit through enhancing flow‐dependent arterial vasodilation and providing cardioprotection. However, ligands that selectively enhance P2X4 activity are absent.

Peripheral-Type Benzodiazepine Receptor Antagonist Is Effective in Relieving Neuropathic Pain in Mice

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
.: cDNA microarray analysis showed the expression of peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) mRNA is slightly enhanced in the spinal cord of mice with spinal nerve injury (SNL) as compared with sham-operated mice.
