Astrocytic Phenotypic Switching in Posterior Piriform Cortex Orchestrates Bone Cancer Pain–Depression Comorbidity via Purinergic–Noradrenergic Signaling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Bone cancer pain and depression share a common origin: astrocytic A2‐to‐A1 transition in the posterior piriform cortex. This phenotypic shift disrupts the ATP–adenosine–A2AR–norepinephrine axis, simultaneously driving nociceptive and affective dysfunction.

A role for the locus coeruleus in the analgesic efficacy of N-acetylaspartylglutamate peptidase (GCPII) inhibitors ZJ43 and 2-PMPA

open access: yesMolecular Pain, 2017
N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG) is the third most prevalent and widely distributed neurotransmitter in the mammalian nervous system. NAAG activates a group II metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR3) and is inactivated by an extracellular enzyme ...

In Silico to In Cerebro—Development of the Orexin Receptor Antagonist “Photorexant” for Photomodulation In Vitro and in Mouse Brains

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Following a structure‐based design approach, photoswitchable derivatives of the FDA‐approved drug suvorexant were designed, docked, synthesized, and characterized pharmacologically at the orexin 1 and 2 receptors (OX1R and OX2R). Optimized “photorexant” showed up to an 11‐fold difference in IC50 between photoisomers, enabled dynamic and reversible ...

Locus coeruleus stimulation by corticotropin-releasing hormone suppresses in vitro cellular immune responses [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Previous studies have demonstrated that stressors alter cellular immune system function, and increase the activity of locus coeruleus neurons. Furthermore, stressors increase the release of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and locus coeruleus ...

The Contribution of the Locus Coeruleus–Noradrenaline System Degeneration during the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which is characterized by extracellular accumulation of amyloid-beta peptide and intracellular aggregation of hyperphosphorylated tau, is the most common form of dementia.

Atypical Attentional Effort During Visual Search in Autistic Adults: Evidence From Task‐Evoked Pupillary Responses

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT According to prevalent views, autistic individuals have a stronger tendency to allocate attention to details, as supported by reports of enhanced visual search performance. However, both the dynamics and the types of information involved in attentional guidance in autism are not fully understood.

An in vivo Probabilistic Atlas of the Human Locus Coeruleus at Ultra-high Field

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
Early and profound pathological changes are evident in the locus coeruleus (LC) in dementia and Parkinson’s disease, with effects on arousal, attention, cognitive and motor control.

Locus coeruleus and labile memory

open access: yesPharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1978
Abstract Memory lability is defined as the period of time recently-formed memory remains susceptible to experimental modification. Electrolytic lesions delivered through chronic indwelling electrodes to the locus coeruleus (LC) complex of mice, made shortly after learning, resulted in an extension of memory lability.

Gabapentinoids‐duloxetine combination therapy for chronic pain: A mechanism oriented rational to bridge theoretical knowledge and real life setting

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Chronic pain represents a complex debilitating condition that extends beyond the protective function of physiological pain, often persisting as an independent disease entity. Chronic primary and secondary pain syndromes reflect a multifaceted continuum involving nociceptive, neuropathic and nociplastic mechanisms.

Selective WGA uptake in the hippocampus from the locus coeruleus of DBH-WGA transgenic mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2012
We generated transgenic mice in which a transsynaptic tracer, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), was specifically expressed in the locus coeruleus neurons under the control of the dopamine-β-hydroxylase gene promoter. WGA protein was produced in more than 95%
