P2X7 receptor antagonism suppresses epileptiform‐like activity in an inflammation‐primed human iPSC‐derived neuron model of drug‐resistant epilepsy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Neuroinflammation is increasingly recognised to contribute to drug‐resistant epilepsy. Activation of ATP‐gated P2X7 receptors has emerged as an important upstream mechanism, and increased P2X7 receptor expression is present in the seizure focus in rodent models and patients. Pharmacological antagonists of P2X7 receptors attenuate

Psychedelics as pharmacotherapeutics for substance use disorders: A scoping review on clinical trials and perspectives on underlying neurobiology

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Theorized mechanism of dopamine homeostasis restoration in the nucleus accumbens core induced by a psychedelic intervention. Abstract Psychedelics have garnered great attention in recent years as treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD) and treatment‐resistant depression because of their ability to alter consciousness and afflicted cognitive ...

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Subtype 5 in Alcohol-Induced Negative Affect

Brain Sciences, 2019
Allosteric modulators of metabotropic glutamate 5 receptors (mGlu5 receptors) have been identified as a promising treatment to independently alleviate both negative affective states and ethanol-seeking and intake.

Troriluzole attenuates opioid intake, reinforcing efficacy, seeking behaviours, physical dependence and antinociceptive tolerance in rats

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Riluzole, approved for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), has a glutamate‐modulating profile favourable for mitigating opioid addiction. It reduces neuronal glutamate release and enhances glutamate reuptake, offering advantages over agents that only increase glutamate reuptake.

Heterologous investigation of metabotropic and ionotropic odorant receptors in ab3A neurons of Drosophila melanogaster

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
In insects, antennal ionotropic receptors (IRs) and odorant receptors (ORs) are among the main sensors of olfactory cues. To functionally characterize the subunits from these receptors, the use of ab3A neurons from transgenic Drosophila melanogaster ...

The Drosophila DmGluRA is required for social interaction and memory

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) have well established roles in cognition andsocial behavior in mammals. Whether or not these roles have been conserved throughoutevolution from invertebrate species is less clear.

Chronic cocaine enhances release of neuroprotective amino acid taurine: a microdialysis study [PDF]

, 2008
Cocaine inhibits high-affinity neurotransmitter uptake at the presynaptic nerve terminals to increase synaptic levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin^1^. This increase of synaptic dopamine may cause neurotoxicity^2,3^.
