Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and Epileptogenesis

Epilepsy Currents, 2002
Activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) often produces long-lasting effects on the excitability of cortical neurons. For example, mGluR stimulation induces long-term potentiation or depression of excitatory synaptic transmission in the hippocampus.

Psychedelics as pharmacotherapeutics for substance use disorders: A scoping review on clinical trials and perspectives on underlying neurobiology

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Theorized mechanism of dopamine homeostasis restoration in the nucleus accumbens core induced by a psychedelic intervention. Abstract Psychedelics have garnered great attention in recent years as treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD) and treatment‐resistant depression because of their ability to alter consciousness and afflicted cognitive ...

FMRP mediates mGluR5-dependent translation of amyloid precursor protein.

PLoS Biology, 2007
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) facilitates synapse formation in the developing brain, while beta-amyloid (Abeta) accumulation, which is associated with Alzheimer disease, results in synaptic loss and impaired neurotransmission.

Extensive neuroadaptive changes in cortical gene-transcript expressions of the glutamate system in response to repeated intermittent MDMA administration in adolescent rats

BMC Neuroscience, 2008
Background Many studies have focused on the implication of the serotonin and dopamine systems in neuroadaptive responses to the recreational drug 3,4-methylenedioxy-metamphetamine (MDMA).

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

The Drosophila DmGluRA is required for social interaction and memory

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) have well established roles in cognition andsocial behavior in mammals. Whether or not these roles have been conserved throughoutevolution from invertebrate species is less clear.

Drug-Induced Plasticity Contributing to Heightened Relapse Susceptibility: Neurochemical Changes and Augmented Reinstatement in High-Intake Rats [PDF]

, 2010
A key in understanding the neurobiology of addiction and developing effective pharmacotherapies is revealing drug-induced plasticity that results in heightened relapse susceptibility.

Calcium-independent inhibitory G-protein signaling induces persistent presynaptic muting of hippocampal synapses [PDF]

, 2011
Adaptive forms of synaptic plasticity that reduce excitatory synaptic transmission in response to prolonged increases in neuronal activity may prevent runaway positive feedback in neuronal circuits.

In rats, neurodevelopmental disorders induced by maternal hypoxia are associated with attenuated excitatory neurotransmission in the cingulate cortex

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Maternal hypoxia is a recognised risk factor for neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring. Although rodent models of hypoxia have been reported, the detailed pathogenesis of maternal hypoxia‐induced neurodevelopmental disorders remains unclear.

NMDA Receptor-Dependent Metaplasticity by High-Frequency Magnetic Stimulation

Neural Plasticity, 2014
High-frequency magnetic stimulation (HFMS) can elicit N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) at Schaffer collateral-CA1 pyramidal cell synapses.
