Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition linked to glutamatergic neurotransmission abnormalities. We analyzed by HPLC the cerebral and peripheral profiles of D‐aspartate, D‐serine, and other L‐amino acids involved in NMDA receptor signaling in environmental ASD rat models prenatally exposed to lipopolysaccharide or valproate ...

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and Epileptiform Bursting
Differential Roles for mGluR1 and mGluR5 in the Persistent Prolongation of Epileptiform Bursts Merlin LR J Neurophysiol 2002;87:621–625 Purpose Transient activation of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) with the selective agonist (S)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) produces persistent prolongation of epileptiform bursts in guinea ...

Abstract The sex hormones progesterone (P) and oestrogen (E) reorganize GABAergic transmission in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during the transition from childhood to adolescence, generating a new excitatory–inhibitory balance necessary for the computational capacity of the mature PFC.

Repeated \u3cem\u3eN\u3c/em\u3e-Acetylcysteine Administration Alters Plasticity-Dependent Effects of Cocaine [PDF]
Cocaine produces a persistent reduction in cystine–glutamate exchange via system xc− in the nucleus accumbens that may contribute to pathological glutamate signaling linked to addiction.

The Enteric Neuronal Circuitry: A Key Ignored Player in Nutrient Sensing Along the Gut–Brain Axis
The enteric nervous system (ENS) regulates critical physiological functions including gut motility, blood flow, and epithelial secretions. Despite its autonomous ability to execute local functions, its communication with the central nervous system is integral to the maintenance of homeostasis.
