The Role of Serotonin Neurotransmission in Gastrointestinal Tract and Pharmacotherapy
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) is a neurotransmitter in both the central nervous system and peripheral structures, acting also as a hormone in platelets.

Opioid Receptor-Mediated Regulation of Neurotransmission in the Brain
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
Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is an endogenous tryptophan (Trp) metabolite known to possess neuroprotective property. KYNA plays critical roles in nociception, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation.

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
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
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

The Role of Amino Acids in Neurotransmission and Fluorescent Tools for Their Detection
Neurotransmission between neurons, which can occur over the span of a few milliseconds, relies on the controlled release of small molecule neurotransmitters, many of which are amino acids. Fluorescence imaging provides the necessary speed to follow these

Toll-Like Receptor 4 Modulates Small Intestine Neuromuscular Function through Nitrergic and Purinergic Pathways [PDF]
Objective: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a pivotal role in the homeostatic microflora-host crosstalk. TLR4-mediated modulation of both motility and enteric neuronal survival has been reported mainly for colon with limited information on the role of ...
