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.

Serotonin 5-HT7 receptors are expressed in the hippocampus and modulate the excitability of hippocampal neurons. We have previously shown that 5-HT7 receptors modulate glutamate-mediated hippocampal synaptic transmission and long-term synaptic plasticity.

Light‐Activated Pharmacological Tools for Exploring the Cholinergic System
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

Targeting metabotropic glutamate receptors for novel treatments of schizophrenia
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.

The mGlu7 receptor provides protective effects against epileptogenesis and epileptic seizures
Finding new targets to control or reduce seizure activity is essential to improve the management of epileptic patients. We hypothesized that activation of the pre-synaptic and inhibitory metabotropic glutamate receptor type 7 (mGlu7) reduces spontaneous ...

ABSTRACT The set‐up and progression of dyskinesia induced by 3,4‐dihydroxyphenylalanine (L‐DOPA) are strongly linked to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. The aim of this work was to study and characterize the effects of the hydroalcoholic extract of Brazilian red propolis (HERP) on L‐DOPA–induced dyskinesia (LID) in hemiparkinsonian rats injected
