Positive allosteric modulators of the a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor [PDF]
L-glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) and plays a fundamental role in the control of motor function, cognition and mood.

Emerging roles for integrated stress response signaling in homeostasis
Integrated stress response (ISR), an evolutionarily conserved eukaryotic stress‐adaptive program in eukaryotes, has also been implicated in homeostatic functions. This review covers a broad body of literature and presents several homeostatic functions of ISR in the absence of stress: (a) developmental processes (morphogenesis, differentiation, aging), (

mGluR5 knockout mice exhibit normal conditioned place-preference to cocaine [PDF]
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) null mutant (-/-) mice have been reported to totally lack the reinforcing or locomotor stimulating effects of cocaine.

Abstract Aim Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and its Gαs‐coupled receptors, PTH receptor, mediate odontoblast differentiation; however, the detailed intracellular adenylyl cyclase‐mediated signalling pathway mediated by the PTH–PTH receptor axis remains to be elucidated. Therefore, we measured the intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)

Lower density of calretinin‐immunopositive neurons in the putamen of subjects with schizophrenia
Recent neuroimaging and histological studies highlight the striatum as a key area involved in SCH, but the specific impairment of neuronal subtypes in subcortical structures is not fully understood. This study is the first detailed investigation of neuroanatomical changes in the putamen in SCH, specifically examining the density of calretinin ...

Adaptive Timing, Attention, and Movement Control [PDF]
Examples of how LTP and LTD can control adaptively timed learning that modulates attention and motor control are given. It is also suggested that LTP/LTD can also play a role in storing memories.

Metabotropic glutamate receptor agonists for schizophrenia [PDF]
SummaryA drug acting at metabotropic glutamate receptors has recently been reported to be an effective antipsychotic, breaking the rule that only dopamine receptor-blocking drugs have this property. The finding complements accumulating evidence that glutamatergic abnormalities are important in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.

Abstract Moderate and acute intermittent hypoxia (IH) facilitates respiration in adults, mostly by recruiting peripheral chemo‐/baroreceptors. As central chemoreceptors are widely expressed in immature brains, we hypothesized that IH modulates respiration at birth through a purely neurogenic mechanism involving the hypothalamus.

Determining the neurotransmitter concentration profile at active synapses [PDF]
Establishing the temporal and concentration profiles of neurotransmitters during synaptic release is an essential step towards understanding the basic properties of inter-neuronal communication in the central nervous system.
