SummaryNon‐motor symptoms including those involving the splanchnic district are present in Parkinson's disease (PD). The authors previously reported that PD‐like rats, bearing a lesion of the nigrostriatal pathway induced by the injection of 6‐hydroxydopamine (6‐OHDA), have impaired hepatic mitochondrial function.

Abstract Objective Absence epilepsy is characterized by brief but frequent seizures with loss of consciousness. Existing treatments, which come with heavy side effects, are only partially effective and do not address the associated comorbidities, including cognitive and social deficits.

Neuronal hyperexcitability: A key to unraveling hippocampal synaptic dysfunction in Lafora disease
Abstract Background and Objective Lafora disease (LD) is a rare progressive disorder caused by mutations in the EPM2A or EPM2B genes, characterized by the accumulation of Lafora bodies, drug‐resistant epilepsy, and cognitive decline. To investigate the early molecular mechanisms of LD, we studied electrophysiological changes in the dentate gyrus (DG ...

N-acetyl-cysteine, a drug that enhances the endogenous activation of group-II metabotropic glutamate receptors, inhibits nociceptive transmission in humans. [PDF]
Emerging research seeking novel analgesic drugs focuses on agents targeting group-II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu2 and mGlu3 receptors). N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) enhances the endogenous activation of mGlu2/3 receptors by activating the glial ...

Does Corticothalamic Feedback Control Cortical Velocity Tuning? [PDF]
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 ...

Lower density of calretinin‐immunopositive neurons in the putamen of subjects with schizophrenia
Recent neuroimaging and histological studies highlight the striatum as a key area involved in SCH, but the specific impairment of neuronal subtypes in subcortical structures is not fully understood. This study is the first detailed investigation of neuroanatomical changes in the putamen in SCH, specifically examining the density of calretinin ...

Glutamatergic neurotransmission modulates hypoxia-induced hyperventilation but not anapyrexia
The interaction between pulmonary ventilation (V E) and body temperature (Tb) is essential for O2 delivery to match metabolic rate under varying states of metabolic demand.

How copy number variations shape brain developmental disorders: Unraveling the synaptic puzzle
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as schizophrenia (SCZ), Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), learning disabilities, and intellectual disabilities (ID), are highly prevalent. One significant genetic factor associated with NDDs is copy number variations (CNVs), which are structural changes in the ...

Plasticity of GABA(B) receptor-mediated heterosynaptic interactions at mossy fibers after status epilepticus [PDF]
Several neurotransmitters, including GABA acting at presynaptic GABAB receptors, modulate glutamate release at synapses between hippocampal mossy fibers and CA3 pyramidal neurons.
