β‐Hydroxybutyrate reduces neuronal excitability via GIRK channels
Epilepsia, EarlyView.β‐Hydroxybutyrate decreases neuronal excitability by activating GIRK channels through HCAR2 signaling, providing a cellular mechanism that may contribute to the antiseizure effects of the ketogenic diet. Abstract Objective The ketogenic diet is used to treat drug‐resistant epilepsy, yet the molecular mechanisms coupling metabolic state to seizure ...

The general anaesthetic etomidate inhibits the excitability of mouse thalamocortical relay neurons by modulating multiple modes of GABAA 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

Abnormal KCC2 expression and function in a mouse model of epilepsy and tuberous sclerosis complex
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Drug‐resistant epilepsy is a common, severe manifestation of the genetic disorder tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Although significant mechanistic and therapeutic advances have been made in TSC, treatments for seizures remain largely ineffective.

Status epilepticus in adults: From etiology to treatment response
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract This study explored the association between etiology of status epilepticus (SE) and treatment responsiveness. Consecutive episodes of nonhypoxic SE in patients ≥14 years old were included. Etiology was classified into acute, remote, progressive, defined electroclinical syndromes, and unknown.

Recombinant glycine receptors: stoichiometry and kinetics [PDF]
, 2009 Glycine receptors (GlyR) are anion-permeable channels that belong to the pentameric ligand-gated ion channel family. Different GlyR subtypes are known. The main synaptic form is thought to be α1β heteropentamers which mediate fast synaptic inhibition in ...

Relative positioning of classical benzodiazepines to the γ2-subunit of GABAA receptors. [PDF]
, 2014 GABAA receptors are the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the brain. Benzodiazepine exert their action via a high affinity-binding site at the α/γ subunit interface on some of these receptors.

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007 We investigated the involvement of γ-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptors in the neuroprotective effect of γ-glutamylethylamide (theanine), a component of Japanese green tea, following a 4-h middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in mice.

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Theta oscillations (4–12 Hz) are a prominent network rhythm within hippocampal and parahippocampal structures. Driven by cholinergic and γ‐aminobutyric acidergic inputs originating from the medial septum, physiological theta gates network excitability to control spatial navigation, memory encoding, and sensorimotor integration during specific ...

GABA(A) receptor phospho-dependent modulation is regulated by phospholipase C-related inactive protein type 1, a novel protein phosphatase 1 anchoring protein [PDF]
, 2004 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 ...
