Control of cortical neuronal migration by glutamate and GABA

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
Neuronal migration in the cortex is controlled by the paracrine action of the classical neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. Glutamate controls radial migration of pyramidal neurons by acting primarily on NMDA receptors and regulates tangential ...

mGluR1α expression in the hippocampus, subiculum, entorhinal cortex and superior temporal gyrus in Alzheimer’s disease

IBRO Neuroscience Reports, 2022
Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, responsible for a plethora of cellular processes including memory formation and higher cerebral function and has been implicated in various neurological disease states ...

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

, 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 ...

Group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptor function and its regulation of learning and memory in the aging brain

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012
Normal aging is generally characterized by a slow decline of cognitive abilities albeit with marked individual differences. Several animal models have been studied to explore the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.

Olig2/Plp-positive progenitor cells give rise to Bergmann glia in the cerebellum. [PDF]

, 2013
NG2 (nerve/glial antigen2)-expressing cells represent the largest population of postnatal progenitors in the central nervous system and have been classified as oligodendroglial progenitor cells, but the fate and function of these cells remain ...

Purinergic Receptors in Spinal Cord-Derived Ependymal Stem/Progenitor Cells and Their Potential Role in Cell-Based Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury

Cell Transplantation, 2015
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major cause of paralysis with no current therapies. Following SCI, large amounts of ATP and other nucleotides are released by the traumatized tissue leading to the activation of purinergic receptors that, in coordination ...

Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors in Epilepsy: A Review Focusing on AMPA and NMDA Receptors

Biomolecules, 2020
It is widely accepted that glutamate-mediated neuronal hyperexcitation plays a causative role in eliciting seizures. Among glutamate receptors, the roles of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA ...

Interferon-γ acutely augments inhibition of neocortical layer 5 pyramidal neurons [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND: Interferon-γ (IFN-γ, a type II IFN) is present in the central nervous system (CNS) under various conditions. Evidence is emerging that, in addition to its immunological role, IFN-γ modulates neuronal morphology, function, and development in ...

Role of ionotropic GABA, glutamate and glycine receptors in the tonic and reflex control of cardiac vagal outflow in the rat

BMC Neuroscience, 2010
Background Cardiac vagal preganglionic neurons (CVPN) are responsible for the tonic, reflex and respiratory modulation of heart rate (HR). Although CVPN receive GABAergic and glutamatergic inputs, likely involved in respiratory and reflex modulation of ...

Ligands for Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors [PDF]

, 2009
Marine-derived small molecules and peptides have played a central role in elaborating pharmacological specificities and neuronal functions of mammalian ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs), the primary mediators of excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system (CNS).
