Vasopressin excites interneurons to suppress hippocampal network activity across a broad span of brain maturity at birth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
During birth in mammals, a pronounced surge of fetal peripheral stress hormones takes place to promote survival in the transition to the extrauterine environment.

Calpain fosters the hyperexcitability of motoneurons after spinal cord injury and leads to spasticity

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Up-regulation of the persistent sodium current (INaP) and down-regulation of the potassium/chloride extruder KCC2 lead to spasticity after spinal cord injury (SCI). We here identified calpain as the driver of the up- and down-regulation of INaP and KCC2,

Neonatal seizures and GABAergic drugs: Scylla and Charybdis?

open access: yesEpilepsia 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

Sexually dimorphic expression of KCC2 and GABA function [PDF]

open access: yesEpilepsy Research, 2008
GABA(A) receptors have an age-adapted function in the brain. During early development, they mediate depolarizing effects, which result in activation of calcium-sensitive signaling processes that are important for the differentiation of the brain.

Dietary and biomarker‐guided strategies as supportive measures in the fragile X syndrome

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects males, often resulting in an IQ below 55, while about two‐thirds of females also experience intellectual disability. Physical features may include an elongated face, prominent ears, finger joint laxity, and enlarged testes in males.

Levels of Ca\u3csub\u3ev\u3c/sub\u3e1.2 L-Type Ca\u3csup\u3e2+\u3c/sup\u3e Channels Peak in the First Two Weeks in Rat Hippocampus Whereas Ca\u3csub\u3ev\u3c/sub\u3e1.3 Channels Steadily Increase through Development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Influx of calcium through voltage-dependent channels regulates processes throughout the nervous system. Specifically, influx through L-type channels plays a variety of roles in early neuronal development and is commonly modulated by G-protein-coupled ...

Sex‐specific differences in mortality and neurocardiac interactions in the Kv1.1 knockout mouse model of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP)

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The Kcna1 knockout mouse model of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) exhibits sex‐specific differences in SUDEP risk. Female mice exhibit a lower SUDEP risk than males, despite similar seizure characteristics and interictal cardiac function across sexes.

The role of KCC2 and NKCC1 in spinal cord injury: From physiology to pathology

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
The balance of ion concentrations inside and outside the cell is an essential homeostatic mechanism in neurons and serves as the basis for a variety of physiological activities.

Human iPSC‐derived GABAergic interneuron transplantation restores circuit balance and cognitive function in an Alzheimer's disease model

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by disrupted excitatory–inhibitory (E:I) balance and impaired synaptic function, yet current treatments fail to repair these fundamental circuit impairments. METHODS Human induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived post‐mitotic medial ganglionic eminence‐originated inhibitory neurons (MGE‐pINs)

Effect of protein synthesis inhibitors on the function of the neuronal K-Cl cotransporter KCC2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Cl- and HCO3- electrochemical gradients across the plasma membrane dictate the electrical consequences of GABAA receptor (GABAAR) function and thereby play a significant role in neuronal GABA-mediated signalling. In adult pyramidal neurons, responses
