NMDA receptor plasticity in the perirhinal and prefrontal cortices is crucial for the acquisition of long-term object-in-place associative memory [PDF]
, 2008 A key process for recognition memory is the formation of associations between an object and the place in which it was encountered, a process that has been shown to require the perirhinal (PRH) and medial prefrontal (mPFC) cortices.

Obesity, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 175-187, January 2026.ABSTRACT Objective Topiramate is a medication used off‐label, or in combination with phentermine, for the management of obesity. However, its mechanism of action remains elusive. As many obesity medications target the brain, we aimed to determine if topiramate influences the activity of hypothalamic melanocortin neurons known to regulate energy balance.

ATP as a presynaptic modulator [PDF]
, 2000 © 2000 Elsevier Science Inc.There is considerable evidence that ATP acts as a fast transmitter or co-transmitter in autonomic and sensory nerves mostly through activation of ionotropic P2X receptors but also through metabotropic P2Y receptors. By analogy,

Nature Communications, 2019 Exaggerated synaptic inhibition is hypothesised to be a main cause of cognitive deficits in Down syndrome models. The authors identify triplication of the kainate receptor encoding gene Grik1 as the cause of memory deficits due to a reorganization of ...

Decrease in tobacco consumption after treatment with topiramate and aripiprazole: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2008 Introduction A large part of research into drug addiction focuses on mesolimbic dopamine circuitry; however, both alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid and/or kainate and dopamine D2 receptors can play a role in maintaining the ...

Fast oscillatory activity in the anterior cingulate cortex: dopaminergic modulation and effect of perineuronal net loss. [PDF]
, 2014 Dopamine release in the prefrontal cortex plays a critical role in cognitive function such as working memory, attention and planning. Dopamine exerts complex modulation on excitability of pyramidal neurons and interneurons, and regulates excitatory and ...

Kainate receptors in epilepsy [PDF]
Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Membrane Transport and Signaling, 2013 AbstractKainate receptors (KARs) belong to the glutamatergic receptor family and they are assembled from various combinations of GluK1–GluK5 subunits. In the central nervous system (CNS), these receptors are involved in fundamental neuronal operation‐like synaptic transmission.
