Modulatory effects mediated by metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 on lateral geniculate nucleus relay cells [PDF]
[Abstract] Glutamate is thought to be the excitatory neurotransmitter in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the cat, mediating visual transmission from the retina via ionotropic receptors of both d,l-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-α-methyl-4 ...

Abstract INTRODUCTION In Alzheimer's disease (AD), fibrillar tau gradually progresses from initial seed to larger brain area. However, those brain properties underlying the region‐dependent susceptibility to tau accumulation remain unclear. METHODS We constructed multimodal spatial gradients to characterize molecular properties and connectomic ...

Controlled trial of lovastatin combined with an open-label treatment of a parent-implemented language intervention in youth with fragile X syndrome. [PDF]
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to conduct a 20-week controlled trial of lovastatin (10 to 40 mg/day) in youth with fragile X syndrome (FXS) ages 10 to 17 years, combined with an open-label treatment of a parent-implemented language intervention (

mGluR5 protect astrocytes from ischemic damage in postnatal CNS white matter [PDF]
Astrocytes perform essential neuron-supporting functions in the central nervous system (CNS) and their disruption has devastating effects on neuronal integrity in multiple neuropathologies.

The prion protein constitutively controls neuronal store-operated ca2+ entry through Fyn Kinase [PDF]
The prion protein (PrPC) is a cell surface glycoprotein mainly expressed in neurons, whose misfolded isoforms generate the prion responsible for incurable neurodegenerative disorders.

Inhibition of group-I metabotropic glutamate receptors protects against prion toxicity.
Prion infections cause inexorable, progressive neurological dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Expression of the cellular prion protein PrPC is required for toxicity, suggesting the existence of deleterious PrPC-dependent signaling cascades.

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 as a potential target for smoking cessation [PDF]
Rationale Most habitual smokers find it difficult to quit smoking because they are dependent upon the nicotine present in tobacco smoke. Tobacco dependence is commonly treated pharmacologically using nicotine replacement therapy or drugs, such as ...

Effect of age on brain metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 measured with [18F]FPEB PET
Objective: Metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) is integral to the brain glutamatergic system and cognitive function. This study investigated whether aging is associated with decreased brain mGluR5 availability.
