Receptor for activated C kinase-1 facilitates protein kinase C-dependent phosphorylation and functional modulation of GABA(A) receptors with the activation of G-protein-coupled receptors [PDF]
GABA(A) receptors are the principal sites of fast synaptic inhibition in the brain. These receptors are hetero-pentamers that can be assembled from a number of subunit classes: alpha(1-6), beta(1-3), gamma(1-3), delta(1), epsilon, theta, and pi, but the ...

Zuranolone: A case study in (regulatory) rush to judgement?
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.

Allopregnanolone and Pentobarbital Infused Into the Nucleus Accumbens Substitute for the Discriminative Stimulus Effects of Ethanol [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The discriminative stimulus effects of ethanol are mediated in part by the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA(A)) receptor system. We have previously shown that microinjections of the competitive GABA(A) agonist muscimol in the nucleus ...

Abstract Aim Critical care for COVID‐19 patients presents unique challenges, particularly in sedation management. Patients demonstrate notable dose‐related resistance to propofol, potentially due to complex pharmacokinetic alterations. Emerging evidence suggests that plasma extracellular vesicle‐associated miRNA represents valuable predictive ...

Molecular mode of action of CGS 9895 at α1 β2 γ2 GABAA receptors. [PDF]
γ-aminobutyric type A (GABAA ) receptors are the main inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the brain and are targets for numerous clinically important drugs such as benzodiazepines, anxiolytics, and anesthetics.

Cenobamate use in super‐refractory status epilepticus: A report of three cases
Abstract Objectives Super‐refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is a neurological emergency with high morbidity and mortality. Cenobamate, a novel antiseizure medication, may be helpful in managing SRSE, but evidence is limited. Methods This retrospective case series reports the use of cenobamate as add‐on therapy in the management of three cases of ...

Localisation and stress-induced plasticity of GABAA receptor subunits within the cellular networks of the mouse dorsal raphe nucleus [PDF]
The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) provides the major source of serotonin to the central nervous system (CNS) and modulates diverse neural functions including mood.

Transient Activation of GABAB Receptors Suppresses SK Channel Currents in Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta Dopaminergic Neurons. [PDF]
Dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) are richly innervated by GABAergic neurons. The postsynaptic effects of GABA on SNc DA neurons are mediated by a mixture of GABAA and GABAB receptors.

Abstract Pathogenic SV2A gene variants have been reported as causes of epilepsy and are often associated with drug resistance and susceptibility to fever‐related seizures. No highly effective treatments have been established for this condition. We report a female patient with a family history of epilepsy who developed generalized seizures associated ...
