Presynaptic adenosine receptor-mediated regulation of diverse thalamocortical short-term plasticity in the mouse whisker pathway [PDF]
, 2016 Short-term synaptic plasticity (STP) sets the sensitivity of a synapse to incoming activity and determines the temporal patterns that it best transmits.

LifeKynurenic acid is a tryptophan (Trp) metabolite formed along the kynurenine (KYN) pathway in the brain and in peripheral tissues. The disturbed formation of kynurenic acid, which targets glutamate-mediated neurotransmission, GPR35, and aryl hydrocarbon ...

Inhibiting tryptophan metabolism enhances interferon therapy in kidney cancer. [PDF]
, 2016 Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is increasing in incidence, and a complete cure remains elusive. While immune-checkpoint antibodies are promising, interferon-based immunotherapy has been disappointing.

elPBN neurons regulate rVLM activity through elPBN-rVLM projections during activation of cardiac sympathetic afferent nerves. [PDF]
, 2016 The external lateral parabrachial nucleus (elPBN) within the pons and rostral ventrolateral medulla (rVLM) contributes to central processing of excitatory cardiovascular reflexes during stimulation of cardiac sympathetic afferent nerves (CSAN).

BMC Psychiatry, 2023 Previous studies reported significantly altered tryptophan catabolite concentrations in major depression. Thus, tryptophan catabolites were considered as potential biomarkers of depression and their modulators as potential targets for ...

The pathophysiological roles of kynurenic acid and cytokines in psychiatric illness [PDF]
, 2011 Kynurenic acid is an astrocyte-derived tryptophan metabolite and a marker of neuroinflammation that antagonizes N-metyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain.

Kynurenic acid blocks chemogenic nociception
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1990 Abstract Previous studies have suggested a role of excitatory amino acids (EAA) in nociception. In the present study the effects of two antagonists of EAA-receptors on capsaicin-induced eye wipings were investigated. Intracisternally administered kynurenic acid, in contrast to intravenously administered MK-801, was found to effectively ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Refractory Epilepsy: Effects on Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines in Peripheral Blood [PDF]
, 2010 Objective: The vagus nerve has important immunological functions that may be relevant for its anticonvulsive action. We postulate that this anticonvulsive action is activated by a shift in the immune system resulting in a reduction of neurotoxic and an ...

Memantine and Kynurenic Acid: Current Neuropharmacological Aspects [PDF]
Current Neuropharmacology, 2016 Glutamatergic neurotransmission, of special importance in the human brain, is implicated in key brain functions such as synaptic plasticity and memory. The excessive activation of N-methyl- D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors may result in excitotoxic neuronal damage; this process has been implicated in the pathomechanism of different neurodegenerative ...
