ABSTRACT In the 1950s–60s, serotonergic psychedelic drugs were studied as potential adjuvants to psychotherapy to treat addiction and alcoholism. However, starting in the 70s, preclinical and clinical studies on psychedelics stopped for decades because legislation controlled its recreational use, citing their hallucinogenic and psychotomimetic effects,

Morphological plasticity of astroglia: Understanding synaptic microenvironment [PDF]
Memory formation in the brain is thought to rely on the remodeling of synaptic connections which eventually results in neural network rewiring. This remodeling is likely to involve ultrathin astroglial protrusions which often occur in the immediate ...

Immunostaining for Homer reveals the majority of excitatory synapses in laminae I-III of the mouse spinal dorsal horn [PDF]
The spinal dorsal horn processes somatosensory information before conveying it to the brain. The neuronal organization of the dorsal horn is still poorly understood, although recent studies have defined several distinct populations among the interneurons,

The Effect of Acylcarnitines on Cognitive Function: A Two‐Sample Mendelian Randomization Study
This study is the first to employed TSMR to investigate the causal relationship between 20 acylcarnitines and neurocognitive outcomes. The findings indicate that lower genetically predicted levels of acetyl‐L‐carnitine and butyrylcarnitine are associated with diminished cognitive performance, underscoring their potential clinical implications in the ...

ABSTRACT Background Glutamate, the primary neurotransmitter released by nociceptors, is predominantly synthesised by the enzyme Glutaminase 1 (GLS1). The involvement of GLS1 in pain pathways is well supported, as Gls1 heterozygous mice exhibit altered nociception and GLS1 levels increase in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) under chronic peripheral ...
