Assembly Stoichiometry of the GluK2/GluK5 Kainate Receptor Complex

Cell Reports, 2012
Ionotropic glutamate receptors assemble as homo- or heterotetramers. One well-studied heteromeric complex is formed by the kainate receptor subunits GluK2 and GluK5.

Ion binding sites and intermediate domain closure induced by D‐serine in the GluD1 ligand‐binding domain

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
GluD1 belongs to the ionotropic glutamate receptors and has important functions in the brain and brain diseases. We report the crystal structure of the GluD1 ligand‐binding domain with D‐serine and zinc ions. MD simulations supported promiscuous binding of cations and that chloride ions play a stabilizing role. Pro725 seems to hinder interlobe closure,

Neuroprotection by urokinase plasminogen activator in the hippocampus

Neurobiology of Disease, 2012
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), which are both used for thrombolytic treatment of acute ischemic stroke, are serine proteases that convert plasminogen to active plasmin. Although recent experimental evidences

Distinct electrophysiology and dopaminergic modulation of medium spiny neurons across divisions of the tail striatum and the dorsolateral striatum

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The striatum is a brain region within the basal ganglia that plays a crucial role in generating behaviour and mediating perception. The tail striatum (TS) is a poorly understood striatal domain with predominantly sensory functions. Recent evidence supports that abnormal TS dopamine transmission in dopaminergic disease contributes to sensory ...

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).

Gut–Brain Axis Modulation by Short‐Chain Fatty Acids Exerts Disease‐Modifying Effects in a Murine Model of Drug‐Resistant Epilepsy

Annals of Neurology, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 613-627, September 2026.
Objective Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) remains a clinical challenge, as therapies modifying disease trajectory are lacking. Increasing evidence implicates gut microbiota dysbiosis in epilepsy pathophysiology, with short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) emerging as key microbial metabolites with neuroprotective and anti‐inflammatory properties.

Ivermectin inhibits AMPA receptor-mediated excitotoxicity in cultured motor neurons and extends the life span of a transgenic mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Neurobiology of Disease, 2007
α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptor-mediated excitotoxicity contributes to the selective motor neuron death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The Role of Hippocampal Interneuron Migration in Neurodevelopmental Disorders: A Systematic Review

Hippocampus, Volume 36, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Hippocampal abnormalities are frequently associated with neurodevelopmental disorders as interneurons are crucial in establishing the network connectivity of neurons. This systematic review analyzed primary literature with a focus on aberrant hippocampal interneuron migration as an etiology for neurodevelopmental disorders, summarizing the ...

Electrophysiological studies of Nephila clavata venom and toxin influence on hippocampal neuronal membranes after pretreatment with Aspergillus oryzae proteases

Біологічні студії, 2020
Background. The use of Arthropodae toxins for electrophysiological experiments is very important, but experimental data in this regard are scarce. The aim of this study was to obtain experimental data about the influence of Nephila clavata spider venom ...

Sleep Deprivation and Neuronal Hyperexcitation Share Transcriptomic Signatures

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 46, Issue 3, September 2026.
This study demonstrated that sleep deprivation induces transcriptomic changes in mice and rats similar to those observed in various models of neuronal hyperexcitation. These findings suggest a potential link between sleep deprivation and neuropsychiatric disorders.
