The Perils of Navigating Activity-Dependent Alternative Splicing of Neurexins
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021 Neurexins are presynaptic cell-adhesion molecules essential for synaptic function that are expressed in thousands of alternatively spliced isoforms. Recent studies suggested that alternative splicing at splice site 4 (SS4) of Nrxn1 is tightly regulated ...

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

7-nitroindazole, a selective neuronal nitric oxide synthase inhibitore in vivo, prevents kainate-induced intrahippocampal neurotoxicity [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2005 We investigated the effects of 7-nitroindazole (7-NI), a selective neuronal nitric oxide synthase inhibitor in vivo, on nitrite concentration after kainic acid injection unilaterally into the CA3 region of the rat hippocampus. The accumulation of nitrite,

Kainate Receptors in Health and Disease [PDF]
Neuron, 2013 Our understanding of the molecular properties of kainate receptors and their involvement in synaptic physiology has progressed significantly over the last 30 years. A plethora of studies indicate that kainate receptors are important mediators of the pre- and postsynaptic actions of glutamate, although the mechanisms underlying such effects are still ...

Reduced Interhemispheric Coherence after Cerebellar Vermis Output Perturbation
Brain Sciences, 2020 Motor coordination and motor learning are well-known roles of the cerebellum. Recent evidence also supports the contribution of the cerebellum to the oscillatory activity of brain networks involved in a wide range of disorders.

Role of brain glycogen in the response to hypoxia and in susceptibility to epilepsy
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Although glycogen is the only carbohydrate reserve of the brain, its overall contribution to brain functions remains unclear. It has been proposed that glycogen participates in the preservation of such functions during hypoxia.

Brain Sciences, 2022 Brain control by locus coeruleus (LC) neurons involves afferent glutamate (Glu) inputs. In newborns, LC Glu receptors and responses may be sparse due to immaturity of the brain circuits providing such input.

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.

Cells, 2023 In the last 30 years, over 20 new anti-seizure medicines (ASMs) have been introduced into the market for the treatment of epilepsy using well-established preclinical seizure and epilepsy models. Despite this success, approximately 20–30% of patients with
