Determinants of functional coupling between astrocytes and respiratory neurons in the pre-Bötzinger complex. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Respiratory neuronal network activity is thought to require efficient functioning of astrocytes. Here, we analyzed neuron-astrocyte communication in the pre-Bötzinger Complex (preBötC) of rhythmic slice preparations from neonatal mice. In astrocytes that

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.

Fmr1 deletion enhances and ultimately desensitizes CB1 signaling in autaptic hippocampal neurons

Neurobiology of Disease, 2013
Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a heritable form of mental retardation caused by a non-coding trinucleotide expansion of the FMR1 gene leading to loss of expression of this RNA binding protein.

Conformational rearrangement during activation of a metabotropic glutamate receptor

Nature Chemical Biology, 2020
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) relay information across cell membranes through conformational coupling between the ligand-binding domain and cytoplasmic signaling domain.

Elongation factor-2 phosphorylation in dendrites and the regulation of dendritic mRNA translation in neurons

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
Neuronal activity results in long lasting changes in synaptic structure and function by regulating mRNA translation in dendrites. These activity dependent events yield the synthesis of proteins known to be important for synaptic modifications and diverse

Anticonvulsive effect of paeoniflorin on experimental febrile seizures in immature rats: possible application for febrile seizures in children. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Febrile seizures (FS) is the most common convulsive disorder in children, but there have been no clinical and experimental studies of the possible treatment of FS with herbal medicines, which are widely used in Asian countries.

Profiling prefrontal cortex protein expression in rats exhibiting an incubation of cocaine craving following short-access self-administration procedures

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2023
IntroductionIncubation of drug-craving refers to a time-dependent increase in drug cue-elicited craving that occurs during protracted withdrawal.

Infrared Neural Stimulation Elicits Distinct Molecular Pathways in Astrocytes Based on Laser Pulse Parameters

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
Infrared (IR) light evokes distinct calcium and water transport responses in astrocytes, depending on stimulation duration and protocol. This study uses widefield imaging and pharmacology to reveal differential engagement of astroglial signaling pathways.

Antipsychotic profiles of TASP0443294, a novel and orally active positive allosteric modulator of metabotropic glutamate 2 receptor

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2015
Glutamatergic dysfunction has been implicated in psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. The stimulation of metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) 2 receptor has been shown to be effective in a number of animal models of schizophrenia.

Neuro‐Cancer Interactions Shape Glioma Intratumoral Heterogeneity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review proposes a conceptual framework for understanding glioma intratumoral heterogeneity shaped by neuro‐cancer interactions: functional patterns and transcriptional states. Functional patterns manifest as three major neural‐like adaptations with spatial and potentially hierarchical relationships, including neurogliomal synapses, glioma networks,
