Modulation of the GABAergic pathway for the treatment of fragile X syndrome. [PDF]
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability and the most common single-gene cause of autism. It is caused by mutations on the fragile X mental retardation gene (FMR1) and lack of fragile X mental retardation ...

Nanoscopic spine localization of Norbin, an mGluR5 accessory protein [PDF]
Norbin is a neuron-specific, cytosolic protein that interacts with the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) and has a profound impact on mGluR5 signaling. Yet, little is known about its synaptic distribution.Here we have analyzed the spatial relationship between Norbin, postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95), actin and mGluR5 in spines using ...

Targeting mGlu5 metabotropic glutamate receptors in the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in a mouse model of phenylketonuria [PDF]
We studied group-I metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors in Pah(enu2) (ENU2) mice, which mimic the genetics and neurobiology of human phenylketonuria (PKU), a metabolic disorder characterized, if untreated, by autism, and intellectual disability (ID ...

β-N-methylamino-L-alanine Enhances Neurotoxicity Through Multiple Mechanisms [PDF]
The idea that the environmental toxin β-N-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) is involved in neurodegenerative diseases on Guam has risen and fallen over the years.

Background: Metabotropic glutamate receptors type 5 (mGluR5) play a central role in persistent forms of synaptic plasticity and memory formation. Antibodies to mGluR5 have been reported to be clinically associated with memory impairment.

Activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 in the amygdala modulates pain-like behavior [PDF]
The central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) has been identified as a site of nociceptive processing important for sensitization induced by peripheral injury. However, the cellular signaling components underlying this function remain unknown.
