The Memory-Enhancing Effects of Hippocampal Estrogen Receptor Activation Involve Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Signaling

Journal of Neuroscience, 2013
Our laboratory has demonstrated that 17β-estradiol (E2) enhances hippocampal memory consolidation via rapid activation of multiple intracellular signaling cascades, including the ERK/MAPK cascade (Fernandez et al., 2008; Fan et al., 2010).

Neuro‐Cancer Interactions Shape Glioma Intratumoral Heterogeneity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review proposes a conceptual framework for understanding glioma intratumoral heterogeneity shaped by neuro‐cancer interactions: functional patterns and transcriptional states. Functional patterns manifest as three major neural‐like adaptations with spatial and potentially hierarchical relationships, including neurogliomal synapses, glioma networks,

Analyses of GWAS and Sub‐Threshold Loci Lead to the Discovery of Dendrite Development and Morphology Dysfunction Underlying Schizophrenia Genetic Risk

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cost‐effective strategy is developed analyzing sub‐threshold GWAS loci (5 × 10−8 < P ≤ 10−6), identifying 180 risk loci and 304 high‐confidence genes through combined GWAS/subGWAS analysis. This approach reveals dendrite development and morphogenesis (DDM) as a novel SCZ pathway.

Structural Basis of GABAB Receptor Activation during Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores the structural and functional mechanisms of the drosophila GABAB receptor, a key role in neurotransmission. Using cryo‐EM, the research reveals how the receptor's activation differs from its human counterpart, highlighting unique evolutionary features.

On the hierarchical classification of G Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]

, 2007
Motivation: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play an important role in many physiological systems by transducing an extracellular signal into an intracellular response. Over 50% of all marketed drugs are targeted towards a GPCR.

Genome‐Wide Insights and Polygenic Risk Scores in Common Epilepsies: A Narrative Review

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The research of single gene‐related disorders or pathogenic copy‐number variations (CNVs) has given a significant impetus to the shift from a diagnostic work‐up focused on epileptic syndromes to genomic approaches in individuals with severe pediatric‐onset epilepsies and in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies.

A Frank Assessment of SHANK: Impacts of Pathogenic Variations in SHANK3 on Preclinical Models of Phelan McDermid Syndrome

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although there are as many as 40 preclinical models of the neurodevelopmental disorder Phelan McDermid syndrome (PMS, or 22q13.3 deletion syndrome), detailed phenotypic analyses to compare the effects of different pathogenic variants and inform treatment design are lacking.

Calcium-independent inhibitory G-protein signaling induces persistent presynaptic muting of hippocampal synapses [PDF]

, 2011
Adaptive forms of synaptic plasticity that reduce excitatory synaptic transmission in response to prolonged increases in neuronal activity may prevent runaway positive feedback in neuronal circuits.

Metabotropic receptor-activated calcium increases and store-operated calcium influx in mouse Müller cells.

Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2008
PURPOSE Metabotropic receptor agonists that signal through G(q)-coupled pathways increase Ca(2+) in mammalian Müller cells by release from intracellular stores and Ca(2+) influx pathways that have not been well described.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...
