How copy number variations shape brain developmental disorders: Unraveling the synaptic puzzle

open access: yesPsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.
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 ...

Targeting metabotropic glutamate receptors for novel treatments of schizophrenia

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2017
Support for the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) hypofunction hypothesis of schizophrenia has led to increasing focus on restoring proper glutamatergic signaling as an approach for treatment of this devastating disease.

Ethanol-Associated Changes in Glutamate Reward Neurocircuitry: A Minireview of Clinical and Preclinical Genetic Findings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Herein, we have reviewed the role of glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, in a number of neurochemical, -physiological, and -behavioral processes mediating the development of alcohol dependence.

Optimization of photobiomodulation therapy for spinal cord injury: A review

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy in the red and near‐infrared range can significantly modulate the secondary injury response and promote the reparative and regenerative potential of neural tissue after spinal cord injury (SCI). At present, due to the nature of delivery methods, the most effective dose and irradiance at the injury site to optimize ...

N-acetyl-cysteine, a drug that enhances the endogenous activation of group-II metabotropic glutamate receptors, inhibits nociceptive transmission in humans. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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 ...

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).

An expanding range of targets for kynurenine metabolites of tryptophan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism accounts for most of the tryptophan that is not committed to protein synthesis and includes compounds active in the nervous and immune systems.

Neuropharmacological targets for drug action in vestibular sensory pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The use of pharmacological agents is often the preferred approach to the management of vestibular dysfunction. In the vestibular sensory pathways, the sensory neuroepithelia are thought to be influenced by a diverse number of neuroactive substances that ...

Molecular and Transcriptional Signatures of Gray Matter Volume Alterations Associated With Depressive Symptoms in Mild Cognitive Impairment

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 2, February 1, 2026.
Morphological alterations related to depressive symptoms in mild cognitive impairment were primarily involved in emotion and affective processing, showing strong correspondence with serotonergic, dopaminergic, and GABAergic systems and enrichment of genes associated with synaptic function and excitatory neurons.

Neuro‐Immune Crosstalk: Molecular Mechanisms, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Neurons, immune cells, and other cellular components within the disease microenvironment (such as stromal cells and tumor cells) constitute a dynamically evolving ecosystem. Neurons directly modulate immune cell activity and inflammatory responses through the release of neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine and CGRP), while also promoting tumor ...
