Single-Cell Transcriptomic Reveals Dual and Multi-Transmitter Use in Neurons Across Metazoans

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021
Neurotransmitter expression is widely used as a criterion for classifying neurons. It was initially thought that neurons express a single type of neurotransmitter, a phenomenon commonly recognized as Dale's principle: “one neuron, one transmitter ...

Inactivation of presenilins causes pre-synaptic impairment prior to post-synaptic dysfunction [PDF]

, 2010
Synaptic dysfunction is widely thought to be a pathogenic precursor to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and the extent of synaptic loss provides the best correlate for the severity of dementia in AD patients.

Protein Deficiency-Induced Behavioral Abnormalities and Neurotransmitter Loss in Aged Mice Are Ameliorated by Essential Amino Acids

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2020
Nutritional epidemiology shows that insufficient protein intake is related to senile dementia. The levels of protein intake in aged people are positively associated with memory function, and elderly people with high protein intake have a low risk of mild

Food Intake Regulation in Birds: the Role of Neurotransmitters and Hormones [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2020
BACKGROUND: Neurotransmitters (NTS) are endogenous chemicals secreted from neural terminals into the synaptic cleft of the chemical neurons in order to affect their receptors.

Neurodevelopment and Cognitive Impairment in Parents and Progeny of Perinatal Dietary Protein Deficiency Models

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
There is an absolute dependence of the concept of development on supply of adequately balanced nutrients especially during the perinatal age which is critical to development.

Neurotransmitter release [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1990
Axon terminals release more than one physiologically active substance. Synaptic messengers may be stored in two different types of vesicles. Small electron‐lucent vesicles mainly store classical low molecular weight transmitter substances and the larger electron‐dense granules store and release proteins and peptides.

Taurine ameliorates volatile organic compounds-induced cognitive impairment in young rats via suppressing oxidative stress, regulating neurotransmitter and activating NMDA receptor

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Long-term exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in children leads to intellectual and cognitive impairment. Taurine is an essential nutritional amino acid for children, which can improve neurological development in children.

Inhibition of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier protects from excitotoxic neuronal death. [PDF]

, 2017
Glutamate is the dominant excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, but under conditions of metabolic stress it can accumulate to excitotoxic levels.

Emerging roles of keratinocytes in nociceptive transduction and regulation

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Keratinocytes are the predominant block-building cells in the epidermis. Emerging evidence has elucidated the roles of keratinocytes in a wide range of pathophysiological processes including cutaneous nociception, pruritus, and inflammation ...
