Opioid Receptor-Mediated Regulation of Neurotransmission in the Brain
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Opioids mediate their effects via opioid receptors: mu, delta, and kappa. At the neuronal level, opioid receptors are generally inhibitory, presynaptically reducing neurotransmitter release and postsynaptically hyperpolarizing neurons.

Memory Enhancement with Kynurenic Acid and Its Mechanisms in Neurotransmission
Biomedicines, 2022 Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is an endogenous tryptophan (Trp) metabolite known to possess neuroprotective property. KYNA plays critical roles in nociception, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Adenosine exerts an important role in the modulation of central nervous system (CNS) activity. Through the interaction with four G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) subtypes, adenosine subtly regulates neurotransmission, interfering with the dopaminergic ...

Regulation of Melatonin and Neurotransmission in Alzheimer’s Disease
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with age, and is characterized by pathological markers such as amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Symptoms of AD include cognitive impairments, anxiety and depression.

Nano-Organization at the Synapse: Segregation of Distinct Forms of Neurotransmission
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2021 Synapses maintain synchronous, asynchronous, and spontaneous modes of neurotransmission through distinct molecular and biochemical pathways. Traditionally a single synapse was assumed to have a homogeneous organization of molecular components both at the

Presynaptic Autophagy and the Connection With Neurotransmission
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Autophagy is an evolutionary conserved catabolic pathway essential for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Defective proteins and organelles are engulfed by autophagosomal membranes which fuse with lysosomes for cargo degradation.
