Neurochemical Changes in the Mouse Hippocampus Underlying the Antidepressant Effect of Genetic Deletion of P2X7 Receptors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Recent investigations have revealed that the genetic deletion of P2X7 receptors (P2rx7) results in an antidepressant phenotype in mice. However, the link between the deficiency of P2rx7 and changes in behavior has not yet been explored.

Does Corticothalamic Feedback Control Cortical Velocity Tuning? [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

P2X7 receptor antagonism suppresses epileptiform‐like activity in an inflammation‐primed human iPSC‐derived neuron model of drug‐resistant epilepsy

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Neuroinflammation is increasingly recognised to contribute to drug‐resistant epilepsy. Activation of ATP‐gated P2X7 receptors has emerged as an important upstream mechanism, and increased P2X7 receptor expression is present in the seizure focus in rodent models and patients. Pharmacological antagonists of P2X7 receptors attenuate

Calcium Signaling Pathways Involved in Long-Term Potentiation at Excitatory Synapses on Parvalbumin Positive Fast-Spiking GABAergic Neurons in the Mouse Visual Cortex [PDF]

open access: yesCell Journal, 2009
Objective: Recently, we reported the presence of metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5(mGluR-5) dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) at excitatory synapses on fast-spikingGABAergic (FS-GABA) cells in the visual cortex.

Astrocytes Control Neuronal Excitability in the Nucleus Accumbens

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2007
Though accumulating evidence shows that the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) mediates some of the actions of extracellular glutamate after cocaine use, the cellular events underlying this action are poorly understood.

Reduced Expression of Cerebral Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Subtype 5 in Men with Fragile X Syndrome

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2020
Glutamatergic receptor expression is mostly unknown in adults with fragile X syndrome (FXS). Favorable behavioral effects of negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) of the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) in fmr1 knockout (KO) mouse ...

When, where and how? Focus on neuronal calcium dysfunctions in Alzheimer's Disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD), since its characterization as a precise form of dementia with its own pathological hallmarks, has captured scientists\u2019 attention because of its complexity.

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

open access: yesBritish 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 ...

Determining the neurotransmitter concentration profile at active synapses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Establishing the temporal and concentration profiles of neurotransmitters during synaptic release is an essential step towards understanding the basic properties of inter-neuronal communication in the central nervous system.

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

open access: yesBritish 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.
