The prion protein constitutively controls neuronal store-operated ca2+ entry through Fyn Kinase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The prion protein (PrPC) is a cell surface glycoprotein mainly expressed in neurons, whose misfolded isoforms generate the prion responsible for incurable neurodegenerative disorders.

Anti‐NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis associated with ovarian teratoma: A case series and literature review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 23-30, April 2025.
Abstract Autoimmune encephalitis is a group of disorders characterized by symptoms of dysfunction of the limbic and extra‐limbic systems that occur in association with antibodies against intracellular antigens, synapses, or proteins located on the surface of nerve cells. Anti‐NMDA (N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate) receptor encephalitis was first described in 2007

Autophagy is increased following either pharmacological or genetic silencing of mGluR5 signaling in Alzheimer’s disease mouse models

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2018
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by neurotoxicity mediated by the accumulation of beta amyloid (Aβ) oligomers, causing neuronal loss and progressive cognitive decline.

Elevated glycogen synthase kinase 3 activity in Fragile X mice: key metabolic regulator with evidence for treatment potential [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Significant advances have been made in understanding the underlying defects of and developing potential treatments for Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), the most common heritable mental retardation.

Central amygdala metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 in the modulation of visceral pain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Painful bladder syndrome is a debilitating condition that affects 3–6% of women in the United States. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that changes in central nervous system processing are key to the development of chronic bladder pain conditions, but ...

White Matter Dysfunction and Neurotransmitter Basis Underlying the Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesiNew Medicine, EarlyView.
In the freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease, white matter shows decreased local activity but increased functional connectivity. These distinct dysfunctions are uniquely associated with specific neurotransmitter systems (GABA, dopamine, etc.), mapping a new neurochemical basis for this debilitating symptom. ABSTRACT Freezing of gait (FOG) is a severe

Spinal Teratoma with Recurrent Epileptic Episodes in Adults: A Case Report

open access: yesCase Reports in Neurology
Introduction: Spinal teratomas are rare, accounting for nearly 0.2–0.5% of all spinal tumors and 2% of all teratomas. Teratomas at the conus medullaris location do not inherently lead to epilepsy.

Improved retinal function in RCS rats after suppressing the over-activation of mGluR5

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Müller cells maintain retinal synaptic homeostasis by taking up glutamate from the synaptic cleft and transporting glutamine back to the neurons. To study the interaction between Müller cells and photoreceptors, we injected either DL-α-aminoadipate or L ...

Blockade of mGluR5 in astrocytes derived from human iPSCs modulates astrocytic function and increases phagocytosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
TNF-α is essential for induction and maintenance of inflammatory responses and its dysregulation is associated with susceptibility to various pathogens that infect the central nervous system.

Activity-driven myelin sheath growth is mediated by mGluR5. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Neurosci
Abstract Myelination by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system is influenced by neuronal activity, but the molecular mechanisms by which this occurs have remained unclear. Here we employed pharmacological, genetic, functional imaging and optogenetic-stimulation approaches in zebrafish to assess activity-regulated myelination in vivo ...
