Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 In mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) an initial precipitating injury can trigger aberrant wiring of neuronal circuits causing seizure activity. While circuit reorganization is known to be largely activity-dependent, the interactions between neuronal ...

Neonatal seizures and GABAergic drugs: Scylla and Charybdis?
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Neonates have a high incidence of seizures that are frequently difficult to control with conventional first‐line anti‐seizure medications, which are gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists. The reasons for this clinical problem are multifold but are likely related to the unique physiology of the immature nervous system. Specifically, the early

Galanin receptor 1 deletion exacerbates hippocampal neuronal loss after systemic kainate administration in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Galanin is a neuropeptide with a wide distribution in the central and peripheral nervous systems and whose physiological effects are mediated through three G protein-coupled receptor subtypes, GalR1, GalR2, and GalR3.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Background and Purpose Positive allosteric modulators bind to secondary binding sites on the receptor and alter receptor conformation and activation, changing agonist potency and efficacy. PTC‐174 is a novel NMDA receptor positive allosteric modulator that particularly enhances activity of receptors containing GluN2C or GluN2D subunits.

Kainate receptors: on the dark side [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2014 Synaptic glutamate receptors can be divided into metabotropic receptors, an eight-member GPCR family, and ionotropic glutamate receptors, a three-member family of NMDA, kainate, and AMPA tetrameric receptors. The most neglected are the five subunit (GluK1–5) kainate receptors, often either lumped with the AMPA receptors because of pharmacological ...

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998 In the present study, we report that low concentrations of the glutamate ionotropic agonist kainate decreased the turnover of [3H]-phosphoinositides ([3H]-InsPs) induced by muscarinic receptors in the chick embryonic retina.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Background and Purpose Radiprodil is a GluN2B subunit selective NMDA receptor negative allosteric modulator which is currently under clinical investigation as a possible anti‐epileptic drug for paediatric use. Our goal was to investigate the inhibition of dopaminergic neuron NMDA responses by radiprodil.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Astrocytic gap junctions formed by connexin43 (Cx43) help maintain brain homeostasis. After mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), total cortical Cx43 increases and redistributes toward a soluble, non‐junctional pool with elevated hemichannel activity and increased phosphorylation at serine 368 (pCx43S368).

LTD expression is independent of glutamate receptor subtype
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2014 Long-term depression (LTD) is a form of synaptic plasticity that plays a major role in the activity-dependent reshaping of synaptic transmission.
