Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012 Normal aging is generally characterized by a slow decline of cognitive abilities albeit with marked individual differences. Several animal models have been studied to explore the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.

Brain Research Bulletin, 2010 Excessive glutamatergic neurotransmission is considered an underlying factor of epilepsy. The modulation of the synaptic activity occurs both by the removal of glutamate from the synaptic cleft and by excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) and by modulation of glutamate receptors. The spontaneously epileptic rat (SER), a double mutant (zi/zi, tm/tm)

Glutamine Metabolism: Molecular Regulation, Biological Functions, and Diseases
MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2025.Tumor cells adapt to nutrient‐poor environments by altering metabolism to acquire essential nutrients. They convert glutamine into glutamate and α‐ketoglutarate, supporting mTOR activation and sugar biosynthesis. Disruption of mTORC1 signaling is linked to disease, while glutamine and leucine activation promotes cell growth and inhibits autophagy ...

Chronic cocaine enhances release of neuroprotective amino acid taurine: a microdialysis study [PDF]
, 2008 Cocaine inhibits high-affinity neurotransmitter uptake at the presynaptic nerve terminals to increase synaptic levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin^1^. This increase of synaptic dopamine may cause neurotoxicity^2,3^.

Light‐Activated Pharmacological Tools for Exploring the Cholinergic System
Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 1251-1274, July 2025.ABSTRACT Cholinergic transmission plays a critical role in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, affecting processes such as learning, memory, and inflammation. Conventional cholinergic drugs generally suffer from poor selectivity and temporal precision, leading to undesired effects and limited therapeutic efficacy. Photopharmacology aims to

How Can Network-Pharmacology Contribute to Antiepileptic Drug Development? [PDF]
, 2014 Network-pharmacology is a field of pharmacology emerging from the observation that most clinical drugs have multiple targets, contrasting with the previously dominant magic bullet paradigm which proposed the search of exquisitely selective drugs. What is
