Neuroprotection by urokinase plasminogen activator in the hippocampus
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

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).

Migraine pathophysiology is thought to involve activation of the trigeminal fibres which innervate dural structures. The nociceptive inflow from the meninges is relayed to the trigeminocervical complex (TCC), before ascending to higher brain areas ...

Role of kainate receptor activation and desensitization on the [Ca2+]i changes in cultured rat hippocampal neurons [PDF]
We investigated the role of kainate (KA) receptor activation and desensitization in inducing the increase in the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in individual cultured rat hippocampal neurons.

Impact of Voluntary Alcohol Consumption on Corticostriatal Plasticity in Rats
After 8 weeks voluntary alcohol consumption, AMPA/NMDA ratios were reduced in medium spiny neurons in the dorsolateral striatum, upon optogenetic stimulation of sensorimotor cortical inputs. Moreover, coefficient of variance was reduced and paired‐pulse facilitation was enhanced, selectively in high alcohol drinking rats.

Kainate Receptor-mediated Regulation of Chloride Homeostasis
A balance between excitatory and inhibitory activity is needed to maintain proper brain function. At inhibitory synapses, potassium-chloride cotransporter 2 (KCC2) has long been known to be a critical regulator of inhibition through its ability to ...

Abstract Glut1 deficiency syndrome (Glut1DS) leads to neurological and cognitive symptoms and is primarily treated using carbohydrate‐restricted ketogenic diets. However, a recent clinical trial of a less restrictive, non‐ketogenic, medium chain triglyceride (MCT) diet with a high decanoic acid content suggests efficacy in Glut1DS treatment.

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 ...

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 ...
