Modulation of the GABAergic pathway for the treatment of fragile X syndrome. [PDF]

, 2014
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability and the most common single-gene cause of autism. It is caused by mutations on the fragile X mental retardation gene (FMR1) and lack of fragile X mental retardation ...

Calcium Imaging Reveals Coordinated Simple Spike Pauses in Populations of Cerebellar Purkinje Cells

Cell Reports, 2016
The brain’s control of movement is thought to involve coordinated activity between cerebellar Purkinje cells. The results reported here demonstrate that somatic Ca2+ imaging is a faithful reporter of Na+-dependent “simple spike” pauses and enables us to ...

Multiple functional neurosteroid binding sites on GABAA receptors [PDF]

, 2019
Neurosteroids are endogenous modulators of neuronal excitability and nervous system development and are being developed as anesthetic agents and treatments for psychiatric diseases.

The Role of GABA and Insulin Regulated Aminopeptidase on Insulin Resistance and GLUT4 in Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

مجله كليه طب الكندي
Background: Different proposed mechanisms for insulin resistance have been put forth to understand the relationship and changes in insulin resistance. Looking at the levels of insulin, the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid, glucose transport type

Genetic Factor in Etiology of Febrile Seizures

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2014
Investigators from Istanbul, Turkey, studied R43Q mutations of the gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptor (GABRG2) gene, located on the long arm of chromosome 5, in 44 children with febrile seizure (FS) and 49 without.

Disrupted GABAergic facilitation of working memory performance in people with schizophrenia. [PDF]

, 2020
ObjectivesGamma-Amiobutyric acid (GABA) is a primary inhibitory neurotransmitter that facilitates neural oscillations that coordinate neural activity between brain networks to facilitate cognition.

Identification of a Core Amino Acid Motif within the α Subunit of GABAARs that Promotes Inhibitory Synaptogenesis and Resilience to Seizures [PDF]

, 2019
The fidelity of inhibitory neurotransmission is dependent on the accumulation of γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs) at the appropriate synaptic sites.

Insights Into the Antigenic Repertoire of Unclassified Synaptic Antibodies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We sought to characterize the sixth most common finding in our neuroimmunological laboratory practice (tissue assay‐observed unclassified neural antibodies [UNAs]), combining protein microarray and phage immunoprecipitation sequencing (PhIP‐Seq). Methods Patient specimens (258; 133 serums; 125 CSF) meeting UNA criteria were profiled;

Allosteric modulation of retinal GABA receptors by ascorbic acid [PDF]

, 2011
Ionotropic GABA receptors (GABAA and GABAC) belong to the Cys-loop receptor family of ligand-gated ion channels. GABAC receptors are highly expressed in the retina, mainly localized at the axon terminals of bipolar cells.

Network Localization of Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Fatigue is among the most common symptoms and one of the main factors determining the quality of life in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying fatigue are not fully understood. Here we studied lesion locations and their connections in individuals with MS, aiming to identify brain networks ...
