NMDA Receptor-Dependent Metaplasticity by High-Frequency Magnetic Stimulation

Neural Plasticity, 2014
High-frequency magnetic stimulation (HFMS) can elicit N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) at Schaffer collateral-CA1 pyramidal cell synapses.

Operant sensation seeking requires metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Pharmacological and genetic studies have suggested that the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is critically involved in mediating the reinforcing effects of drugs of abuse, but not food. The purpose of this study was to use mGluR5 knockout (KO),

mGlu1 Receptors Monopolize the Synaptic Control of Cerebellar Purkinje Cells by Epigenetically Down-Regulating mGlu5 Receptors [PDF]

, 2018
In cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) type-1 metabotropic glutamate (mGlu1) receptors play a key role in motor learning and drive the refinement of synaptic innervation during postnatal development.

Energy metabolism, adenosine, and glutamate signaling reprogramming by decanoic acid in Glut1 disorder syndrome

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Glut1 deficiency syndrome (Glut1DS) leads to neurological and cognitive symptoms and is primarily treated using carbohydrate‐restricted ketogenic diets. However, a recent clinical trial of a less restrictive, non‐ketogenic, medium chain triglyceride (MCT) diet with a high decanoic acid content suggests efficacy in Glut1DS treatment.

Knocking down metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 improves survival and disease progression in the SOD1G93A mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Neurobiology of Disease, 2014
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a late-onset fatal neurodegenerative disease reflecting degeneration of upper and lower motoneurons (MNs).

Blunted Cystine–Glutamate Antiporter Function in the Nucleus Accumbens Promotes Cocaine-induced Drug Seeking [PDF]

, 2008
Repeated cocaine alters glutamate neurotransmission, in part, by reducing cystine–glutamate exchange via system xc−, which maintains glutamate levels and receptor stimulation in the extrasynaptic compartment.

A population of immature cerebellar parallel fibre synapses are insensitive to adenosine but are inhibited by hypoxia [PDF]

, 2011
The purine adenosine plays an important role in a number of physiological and pathological processes and is neuroprotective during hypoxia and ischemia.

Dietary and biomarker‐guided strategies as supportive measures in the fragile X syndrome

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects males, often resulting in an IQ below 55, while about two‐thirds of females also experience intellectual disability. Physical features may include an elongated face, prominent ears, finger joint laxity, and enlarged testes in males.

Complex formation and functional interaction between adenosine A1 receptor and type-1 metabotropic glutamate receptor

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2015
The adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) for adenosine, a ubiquitous neuromodulator, and thus regulates neuronal excitability, as well as arousal and sensitivity to pain.

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.
