Tryptophan research in panic disorder. [PDF]
A considerable body of evidence suggests the involvement of serotonin neurotransmission in the pathogenesis of panic disorder. Research on pathways and functions of tryptophan, an essential amino acid converted into serotonin, may advance our ...

Neuropathic pain management via repeated electroacupuncture. Abstract Background Existing remedial approaches for relieving neuropathic pain (NPP) are challenging and open the way for alternative therapeutic measures such as electroacupuncture (EA). The mechanism underlying the antinociceptive effects of repeated EA sessions, particularly concerning ...

Statistical crossover and nonextensive behavior of the neuronal short-term depression [PDF]
The theoretical basis of neuronal coding, associated with short term degradation in synaptic transmission, is a matter of debate in the literature. In fact, electrophysiological signals are commonly characterized as inversely proportional to stimulus intensity.

Stochastic Adaptive Activation Function [PDF]
The simulation of human neurons and neurotransmission mechanisms has been realized in deep neural networks based on the theoretical implementations of activation functions. However, recent studies have reported that the threshold potential of neurons exhibits different values according to the locations and types of individual neurons, and that the ...

Pivotal Role of Adenosine Neurotransmission in Restless Legs Syndrome
The symptomatology of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) includes periodic leg movements during sleep (PLMS), dysesthesias, and hyperarousal. Alterations in the dopaminergic system, a presynaptic hyperdopaminergic state, seem to be involved in PLMS, while ...

Autosomal Recessive Cerebellar Ataxias: Translating Genes to Therapies
Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias are disabling neurodegenerative genetic conditions affecting balance and coordination. Advancements in genomic testing have improved diagnosis, leading to a new focus on the development of targeted precision therapeutics addressing cellular, biochemical, and genetic disease mechanisms with a resulting emphasis on ...

A Fluorescent Ratiometric Potassium Sensor Based on IPG4-Silica Microparticles for Selective Detection and Fluorescence Imaging of Potassium Cations [PDF]
Potassium cations play many important roles in living organisms, especially in electro-physiology, since they are involved in neurotransmission and muscle contractions. We report the synthesis of a ratiometric fluorescent microsensor for potassium (K+) detection, based on the fluorescent probe ION potassium green 4.

Deficits in cholinergic neurotransmission and their clinical correlates in Parkinson’s disease
In view of its ability to explain the most frequent motor symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease (PD), degeneration of dopaminergic neurons has been considered one of the disease’s main pathophysiological features.
