Roles of Glutamate Receptors in Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder resulting from the degeneration of pigmented dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. It induces a series of functional modifications in the circuitry of the basal ganglia

Analgesia induced by the epigenetic drug, L-acetylcarnitine, outlasts the end of treatment in mouse models of chronic inflammatory and neuropathic pain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: L-acetylcarnitine, a drug marketed for the treatment of chronic pain, causes analgesia by epigenetically up-regulating type-2 metabotropic glutamate (mGlu2) receptors in the spinal cord.

Researching glutamate – induced cytotoxicity in different cell lines: a comparative/, collective analysis/study

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
Although glutamate is one of the most important excitatory neurotransmitters of the central nervous system, its excessive extracellular concentration leads to uncontrolled continuous depolarization of neurons, a toxic process called, excitotoxicity.

Astrocyte Glutamate Uptake and Signaling as Novel Targets for Antiepileptogenic Therapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2020
Astrocytes regulate and respond to extracellular glutamate levels in the central nervous system (CNS) via the Na+-dependent glutamate transporters glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1) and glutamate aspartate transporter (GLAST) and the metabotropic glutamate ...

Differential localization of glutamate receptor subunits at the drosophila neuromuscular junction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The subunit composition of postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptors is a key determinant of synaptic physiology. Two glutamate receptor subunits, Drosophila glutamate receptor IIA (DGluRIIA) and DGluRIIB, are expressed at the Drosophila neuromuscular ...

Channel opening and gating mechanism in AMPA-subtype glutamate receptors

open access: yesNature, 2017
AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid)-subtype ionotropic glutamate receptors mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission throughout the central nervous system.

Metabotropic glutamate 2/3 receptors and epigenetic modifications in psychotic disorders: a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder are chronic psychiatric disorders, both considered as "major psychosis"; they are thought to share some pathogenetic factors involving a dysfunctional gene x environment interaction.

Determining the neurotransmitter concentration profile at active synapses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Establishing the temporal and concentration profiles of neurotransmitters during synaptic release is an essential step towards understanding the basic properties of inter-neuronal communication in the central nervous system.

Distinct combinations of variant ionotropic glutamate receptors mediate thermosensation and hygrosensation in Drosophila

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2016
Ionotropic Receptors (IRs) are a large subfamily of variant ionotropic glutamate receptors present across Protostomia. While these receptors are most extensively studied for their roles in chemosensory detection in insects, recent work has implicated two
