Astrocytes: Orchestrators of brain gas exchange and oxygen homeostasis
Abstract figure legend Oxygen and carbon dioxide enter the body via breathing; in the brain astrocytes play a key role balancing oxygen delivery with carbon dioxide removal. Abstract If we consider neurons like muscles during exercise, the demand for oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) elimination is constantly changing.

Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) that mediate slow glutamatergic signal transduction and regulate cell excitability in the central nervous system.

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5: a target for migraine therapy
Introduction Many patients suffering from migraine gain little relief from existing treatments partly because many existing acute and preventive therapies used in migraine have been adopted from other neurologic conditions such as depression or epilepsy.

Phased Treatment Strategies for Cerebral Ischemia Based on Glutamate Receptors
Extracellular glutamate accumulation following cerebral ischemia leads to overactivation of glutamate receptors, thereby resulting in intracellular Ca2+ overload and excitotoxic neuronal injury. Multiple attempts have been made to counteract such effects

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.

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

Fmr1 deletion enhances and ultimately desensitizes CB1 signaling in autaptic hippocampal neurons
Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a heritable form of mental retardation caused by a non-coding trinucleotide expansion of the FMR1 gene leading to loss of expression of this RNA binding protein.

Bifenthrin Under Scrutiny: Revisiting Toxicological Evidence Amid Regulatory Gaps
ABSTRACT Despite growing health concerns, bifenthrin (BF) remains widely used for controlling agricultural and residential pests. However, different perspectives on its toxicological profile and regulatory framework warrant a revisit and update on BF regulation towards a robust risk‐safety assessment.

ABSTRACT Objective Topiramate is a medication used off‐label, or in combination with phentermine, for the management of obesity. However, its mechanism of action remains elusive. As many obesity medications target the brain, we aimed to determine if topiramate influences the activity of hypothalamic melanocortin neurons known to regulate energy balance.

mGlu5 Receptor Functional Interactions and Addiction
The idea of ‘receptor mosaics’ suggests that proteins can form complex and dynamic networks, with respect to time and protein make up, which has the potential to make significant contributions to the diversity and specificity of GPCR signalling ...
