N-acetyl-cysteine, a drug that enhances the endogenous activation of group-II metabotropic glutamate receptors, inhibits nociceptive transmission in humans. [PDF]
, 2015 Emerging research seeking novel analgesic drugs focuses on agents targeting group-II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu2 and mGlu3 receptors). N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) enhances the endogenous activation of mGlu2/3 receptors by activating the glial ...

Optimization of photobiomodulation therapy for spinal cord injury: A review
Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy in the red and near‐infrared range can significantly modulate the secondary injury response and promote the reparative and regenerative potential of neural tissue after spinal cord injury (SCI). At present, due to the nature of delivery methods, the most effective dose and irradiance at the injury site to optimize ...

Does Corticothalamic Feedback Control Cortical Velocity Tuning? [PDF]
, 2001 The thalamus is the major gate to the cortex and its contribution to cortical receptive field properties is well established. Cortical feedback to the thalamus is, in turn, the anatomically dominant input to relay cells, yet its influence on thalamic ...

Therapeutic Potential of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Modulators
Current Neuropharmacology, 2012 Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS) and is a major player in complex brain functions. Glutamatergic transmission is primarily mediated by ionotropic glutamate receptors, which include NMDA, AMPA and ...

Astrocytes: Orchestrators of brain gas exchange and oxygen homeostasis
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Oxygen and carbon dioxide enter the body via breathing; in the brain astrocytes play a key role balancing oxygen delivery with carbon dioxide removal. Abstract If we consider neurons like muscles during exercise, the demand for oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) elimination is constantly changing.

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).
