Background: Epilepsy is one of the most common brain disorder and, despite the possible use of several therapeutic options, many patients continue to have seizures for their entire lifespan and they need new therapeutic approaches.

Abstract Objective High‐grade astrocytomas, including glioblastomas, are aggressive brain tumors with poor prognosis and a 5‐year survival below 7%. Seizures affect up to 75% of glioma patients, especially in low‐grade tumors but also in high‐grade cases.

Activation and Desensitization of Hippocampal Kainate Receptors
We have used whole-cell recordings and rapid agonist applications to characterize the physiological properties of kainate receptors expressed by rat hippocampal neurons in dissociated cell culture.

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 ...

ABSTRACT Despite their widespread use as a research model, a comprehensive, quantitative proteomic profile of the cultured hippocampal neurons has remained unexplored. Here, we provide the first global proteomic characterization of primary murine hippocampal neurons cultured for 14 days under near‐physiological glucose conditions (2.5 mM).

Selective agonists and antagonists for kainate receptors.
Kainate receptors have only recently been characterized both from the pharmacological and biological point of view. Due to the limited number of truly kainate selective ligands, most of the known agonists and antagonists are generally classified as AMPA ...

Galanin receptor 1 deletion exacerbates hippocampal neuronal loss after systemic kainate administration in mice. [PDF]
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.

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).

Kainate receptors: on the dark side [PDF]
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 ...

Responses of cerebral arterioles to kainate.
Neurons release nitric oxide in response to glutamate. Glutamate acts via activation of different receptor subtypes, including N-methyl-D-aspartate and kainate receptors.
