Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2020 Background Excitotoxicity is a central pathological pathway in many neurological diseases with blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction. Kainate, an exogenous excitotoxin, induces epilepsy and BBB damage in animal models, but the direct effect of kainate on

Trafficking of Kainate Receptors [PDF]
Membranes, 2014 Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) mediate the vast majority of excitatory neurotransmission in the central nervous system of vertebrates. In the protein family of iGluRs, kainate receptors (KARs) comprise the probably least well understood receptor class.

Kainate receptor modulation by NETO2
Nature, 2021 Glutamate-gated kainate receptors (KARs) are ubiquitous in the central nervous system of vertebrates, mediate synaptic transmission on post-synapse, and modulate transmitter release on pre-synapse. In the brain, the trafficking, gating kinetics, and pharmacology of KARs are tightly regulated by Neuropilin and tolloid-like proteins (Netos).

Synaptic Targeting of Kainate Receptors [PDF]
Cerebral Cortex, 2014 When native and recombinant kainate receptors (KARs) are compared, there is a mismatch in several of their functional properties. While both generate currents, synaptic responses mediated by KARs have rarely observed in cultured hippocampal neurons.

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 Various etiological factors, such as head injury, chemical intoxication, tumors, and gene mutation, can induce epileptogenesis. In animal models, status epilepticus (SE) triggers epileptogenesis.

Preferential assembly of heteromeric kainate and AMPA receptor amino terminal domains
eLife, 2017 Ion conductivity and the gating characteristics of tetrameric glutamate receptor ion channels are determined by their subunit composition. Competitive homo- and hetero-dimerization of their amino-terminal domains (ATDs) is a key step controlling assembly.

Cochlear Kainate Receptors [PDF]
Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, 2012 Synaptic transmission between the cochlear hair cell and its afferent fiber is mediated by glutamate receptors. While kainate receptors are known to be present in the spiral ganglion, little is known of their distribution or functional role. We have detected all five kainate receptor subunits in the mouse cochlea with quantitative RT-PCR and with ...

Perampanel inhibition of AMPA receptor currents in cultured hippocampal neurons. [PDF]
, 2014 Perampanel is an aryl substituted 2-pyridone AMPA receptor antagonist that was recently approved as a treatment for epilepsy. The drug potently inhibits AMPA receptor responses but the mode of block has not been characterized.

A predictive epilepsy index based on probabilistic classification of interictal spike waveforms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Quantification of interictal spikes in EEG may provide insight on epilepsy disease burden, but manual quantification of spikes is time-consuming and subject to bias.

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is the most common type of focal epilepsy. It is frequently associated with abnormal MRI findings, which are caused by underlying cellular, structural, and chemical changes at the micro-scale. In the current study, it
