ABSTRACT Neonicotinoids are widely used insecticides in agriculture, aquaculture, pet care, and urban pest control. Initially developed to selectively target the insect cholinergic system, their extensive use has raised concerns about adverse effects on nontarget vertebrates.

Changes in adrenergic and cholinergic receptors on human cerebral vessels. Implications for new therapeutic strategies in Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]
Abstract Background Sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) occurs as a result of a failure of Intramural Periarterial Drainage (IPAD) of amyloid‐beta (Aβ) along the walls of capillaries and arteries. The motive force for IPAD is provided by the spontaneous contractions of cerebrovascular smooth muscle cells (CVSMC that receive adrenergic and ...

The varieties of the psychedelic experience: A preliminary study of the association between the reported subjective effects and the binding affinity profiles of substituted phenethylamines and tryptamines [PDF]
Classic psychedelics are substances of paramount cultural and neuroscientific importance. A distinctive feature of psychedelic drugs is the wide range of potential subjective effects they can elicit, known to be deeply influenced by the internal state of

GABA‐producing Lactococcus lactis protects against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in a mouse source‐dependent manner. The study focuses on the therapeutic potential of genetically engineered gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA)‐overproducing Lactococcus lactis (P8s‐GAD L. lactis) in the EAE model.

The endocrine system coordinates whole body cellular function and maintains homeostasis. Alcohol impacts the integrity of endocrine regulation at multiple sites, contributing to risk for comorbidities. Some of the alcohol‐mediated pathophysiological effects on the endocrine system include alterations in receptor expression and responsiveness, protein ...

Interactions between the neuromodulatory systems and the amygdala: exploratory survey using the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas. [PDF]
Neuromodulatory systems originate in nuclei localized in the subcortical region of the brain and control fundamental behaviors by interacting with many areas of the central nervous system.

Cholinergic Regulation of hnRNPA2/B1 Translation by M1 Muscarinic Receptors [PDF]
Cholinergic vulnerability, characterized by loss of acetylcholine (ACh), is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous work has suggested that decreased ACh activity in AD may contribute to pathological changes through global alterations in alternative splicing.

State‐dependent regulation of the Kv7.2 channel voltage sensor by QO‐58
Background and Purpose KV7(KCNQ) potassium channels are key modulators of neuronal excitability, and promising targets for development of drugs for epilepsy and pain. We investigated a candidate KV7 drug, QO‐58, which has been previously described but has an unclear mechanism of action.

Ligand-guided homology modeling drives identification of novel histamine H3 receptor ligands [PDF]
In this study, we report a ligand-guided homology modeling approach allowing the analysis of relevant binding site residue conformations and the identification of two novel histamine H3 receptor ligands with binding affinity in the nanomolar range.
