The GABA-Withdrawal Syndrome: A Model of Local Status Epilepticus

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2000
The GABA-withdrawal syndrome (GWS) is a model of local status epilepticus following the interruption of a chronic GABA infusion into the rat somatomotor cortex.

Identification of a Core Amino Acid Motif within the α Subunit of GABAARs that Promotes Inhibitory Synaptogenesis and Resilience to Seizures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The fidelity of inhibitory neurotransmission is dependent on the accumulation of γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs) at the appropriate synaptic sites.

The Dual Role of Glutamatergic Neurotransmission in Alzheimer’s Disease: From Pathophysiology to Pharmacotherapy

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related dementia and neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by Aβ and tau protein deposition impairing learning, memory and suppressing synaptic plasticity of neurons.

Differential Myosin 5a splice variants in innervation of pelvic organs

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
Introduction: Myosin proteins interact with filamentous actin and translate the chemical energy generated by ATP hydrolysis into a wide variety of mechanical functions in all cell types. The classic function of conventional myosins is mediation of muscle

A dual‐AAV approach restores fast exocytosis and partially rescues auditory function in deaf otoferlin knock‐out mice

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2018
Normal hearing and synaptic transmission at afferent auditory inner hair cell (IHC) synapses require otoferlin. Deafness DFNB9, caused by mutations in the OTOF gene encoding otoferlin, might be treated by transferring wild‐type otoferlin cDNA into IHCs ...

A Role for the V0 Sector of the V-ATPase in Neuroexocytosis: Exogenous V0d Blocks Complexin and SNARE Interactions with V0c

open access: yesCells, 2023
V-ATPase is an important factor in synaptic vesicle acidification and is implicated in synaptic transmission. Rotation in the extra-membranous V1 sector drives proton transfer through the membrane-embedded multi-subunit V0 sector of the V-ATPase.

Organic Cation Transporter 3 (OCT3) Is Localized to Intracellular and Surface Membranes in Select Glial and Neuronal Cells Within the Basolateral Amygdaloid Complex of Both Rats and Mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3) is a high-capacity, low-affinity transporter that mediates corticosterone-sensitive uptake of monoamines including norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, histamine and serotonin. OCT3 is expressed widely throughout the

Relationships between Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Neurotransmission Failure in Alzheimer’s Disease

open access: yesAging and Disease, 2020
Besides extracellular deposition of amyloid beta and formation of phosphorylated tau in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the pathogenesis of AD is also thought to involve mitochondrial dysfunctions and altered neurotransmission ...

The role of neurosteroids in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy [PDF]

open access: yesMedicinski Podmladak, 2016
Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) represents a neuropsychiatric syndrome caused by acute or chronic liver failure. Hyperammonemia plays a pivotal role in the development of HE through modulation of neurotransmission, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation ...
