The Perils of Navigating Activity-Dependent Alternative Splicing of Neurexins

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Expression of the ionotropic glutamate receptors on neuronostatin neurons in the periventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus

open access: yesFolia Morphologica, 2022
BACKGROUND: Neuronostatin, a newly identified peptide, is accepted as an anorexigenic peptide since it suppresses food intake when given intracerebroventricularly.

Mediation of Sinusoidal Network Oscillations in the Locus Coeruleus of Newborn Rat Slices by Pharmacologically Distinct AMPA and KA Receptors

open access: yesBrain 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.

Cortical neurones exhibiting kainate-activated Co2+uptake are selectively vulnerable to AMPA/kainate receptor-mediated toxicity

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 1994
Kainate-activated Co2+uptake, a histochemical method that identifies cells bearing Ca2+-permeable AMPA/kainate receptors, labels approximately 15% of murine cortical neurones in cell culture.

7-nitroindazole, a selective neuronal nitric oxide synthase inhibitore in vivo, prevents kainate-induced intrahippocampal neurotoxicity [PDF]

open access: yesArchives 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,

Nimesulide limits kainate-induced oxidative damage in the rat hippocampus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Kainate induces a marked expression of cyclooxygenase-2 after its systemic administration. Because cyclooxygenase-2 activity is associated to the production of reactive oxygen species, we investigated the effects of nimesulide, a selective cyclooxygenase-

Reduced Interhemispheric Coherence after Cerebellar Vermis Output Perturbation

open access: yesBrain 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.

Molecular Physiology of Kainate Receptors [PDF]

open access: bronzePhysiological Reviews, 2001
A decade ago, our understanding of the molecular properties of kainate receptors and their involvement in synaptic physiology was essentially null. A plethora of recent studies has altered this situation profoundly such that kainate receptors are now regarded as key players in the modulation of transmitter release, as important mediators of the ...

Role of brain glycogen in the response to hypoxia and in susceptibility to epilepsy

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Kainate Receptors: Role in Epilepsy

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Kainate (KA) is a potent neurotoxin that has been widely used experimentally to induce acute brain seizures and, after repetitive treatments, as a chronic model of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), with similar features to those observed in human patients ...
