Synaptic Depotentiation and mGluR5 Activity in the Nucleus Accumbens Drive Cocaine-Primed Reinstatement of Place Preference

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2019
Understanding the neurobiological processes that incite drug craving and drive relapse has the potential to help target efforts to treat addiction. The NAc serves as a critical substrate for reward and motivated behavior, in part due to alterations in ...

Astrocytes Mediate Psychostimulant‐Induced Alterations of Spike‐Timing Dependent Synaptic Plasticity

open access: yesGlia, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1051-1067, May 2025.
Main Points Cocaine and amphetamine stimulates astrocytes and downregulates the GLT‐1. The dysfunction in GLT‐1 modify EPSP kinetics and modulate STDP, switching LTP to LTD in psychostimulant‐treated mice. These effects were restored by upregulation of GLT‐1.

Dysregulation of Astrocytic ATP/Adenosine Release in the Hippocampus Cause Cognitive and Affective Disorders: Molecular Mechanisms, Diagnosis, and Therapy

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2025.
Reactive astrocytes release various molecules, which play a role in maintaining central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis. (1) Gliotransmitters, such as glutamate, γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), ATP, and D‐serine, are secreted by vesicular exocytosis. In addition, astrocytes can also release ATP and glutamate through (2) P2X7Rs, (3) connexin‐43 (Cx43 ...

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 regulates synaptic plasticity in a chronic migraine rat model through the PKC/NR2B signal

open access: yesThe Journal of Headache and Pain, 2020
Background The mechanism of chronic migraine (CM) is complex, central sensitization is considered as one of the pathological mechanism. Synaptic plasticity is the basis of central sensitization.

A Prolyl-Isomerase Mediates Dopamine-Dependent Plasticity and Cocaine Motor Sensitization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
SummarySynaptic plasticity induced by cocaine and other drugs underlies addiction. Here we elucidate molecular events at synapses that cause this plasticity and the resulting behavioral response to cocaine in mice.

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 and Transforming Growth Factor-β Stimulate Cystine/Glutamate Exchange Activity in Dental Pulp Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Introduction The growth factors insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) are protective to dental pulp cells in culture against the toxicity of the composite materials Durafill VS and Flow Line (Henry Schein Inc, New ...

Alterations in sleep, sleep spindle, and EEG power in mGluR5 knockout mice.

open access: yesJournal of Neurophysiology, 2019
The type-5 metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR5) represents a novel therapeutic target for schizophrenia and other disorders. Schizophrenia is associated with progressive abnormalities in cortical oscillatory processes including reduced spindles (8 ...
