Associations Between Fatty Acid Levels in Human Blood and Trigeminovascular Tissues
ABSTRACT Omega‐3 and omega‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are precursors to oxylipins that modulate pain and inflammation. We previously demonstrated that (1) a dietary intervention increasing omega‐3 and reducing omega‐6 PUFAs alters the concentration of these oxylipin precursors in blood, and (2) these changes are associated with reduced ...

Neuropeptide Co-Release with Gaba May Explain Functional Non-Monotonic Uncertainty Responses in Dopamine Neurons [PDF]
Co-release of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA and the neuropeptide substance-P (SP) from single axons is a conspicuous feature of the basal ganglia, yet its computational role, if any, has not been resolved.

ABSTRACT One of the great triumphs of mass spectrometry‐based peptide and protein characterization is the characterization of their modifications as most modifications have a characteristic mass shift. What happens when the modification does not change the mass of the peptide?

Diet transition to a high-fat diet for 3 weeks reduces brain omega-3-fatty acid levels, alters BDNF signaling and induces anxiety & depression-like behavior in adult rats [PDF]
Background: The consumption of diets high in calories and low in nutrient value is becoming increasingly common in modern society, which can lead to metabolic disorders like diabetes and obesity, and potentially to psychiatric disorders.

Abstract Background Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by early, selective, progressive vulnerability of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs). Proenkephalin (PENK), a precursor of opioid peptides abundantly expressed in MSNs, is a promising biomarker of striatal integrity, but region‐specific associations and its potential for early‐stage ...

The “second‐hit” hypothesis proposes that both a genetic predisposition and an environmental insult—such as peripheral nerve trauma or spinal cord injury—are required for dystonia development. This review explores how neuroinflammation and maladaptive plasticity, triggered by nerve and spinal cord injury, contribute to dystonia pathogenesis.

In silico analysis of crustacean hyperglycemic hormone family G protein-coupled receptor candidates
Ecdysteroid molting hormone synthesis is directed by a pair of molting glands or Y-organs (YOs), and this synthesis is inhibited by molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH).
