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 ...

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.

Conformational diversity in class C GPCR positive allosteric modulation

open access: yesNature Communications
The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlus) are class C G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) that form obligate dimers activated by the major excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate.

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 ...

Computational Drug Design Applied to the Study of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors are a family of eight GPCRs that are attractive drug discovery targets to modulate glutamate action and response. Here we review the application of computational methods to the study of this family of receptors.

Peripheral Nerves in Cancer: Regulatory Roles and Therapeutic Strategies

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
The interaction between cancer cells and peripheral nerves: (1) tumor cells could induce the growth of new neural axons and constructing a neural fiber network within the tumor tissue through secreting nerve growth factors; (2) nerve‐derived bioactive molecules can induce perineural invasion of tumor and regulate the malignant phenotype of tumor, such ...

Glutamate Receptor Signaling in Retina Müller Cells: Plausible Role in Neurodegeneration

open access: yesReceptors
The retinal network relies on glutamate, the primary excitatory neurotransmitter involved in the visual cycle. Glutamate transactions are carried out by an array of distinct receptors and transporters distributed across both pre- and post-synaptic ...

Plasticity of GABA(B) receptor-mediated heterosynaptic interactions at mossy fibers after status epilepticus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Several neurotransmitters, including GABA acting at presynaptic GABAB receptors, modulate glutamate release at synapses between hippocampal mossy fibers and CA3 pyramidal neurons.

The Calcium‐Binding Protein S100A10 (p11) Is Required for Normal Motor Performance by Regulating Vesicle Dynamics at Excitatory Synapses

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Identifying interactors in sensorimotor processing and neurotransmission remains a current challenge for understanding neural information processing and brain function. Methods To evaluate the role of p11 in sensorimotor processing and excitatory synaptic neurotransmission, neuron‐specific lentivirus‐directed p11 silencing, small ...
