The NMDA Receptor Antagonist Memantine Modulates Aging and Stress Resilience
Memantine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, extends lifespan and enhances stress resilience in C. elegans through caloric restriction–like metabolic adaptations, including reduced oxidative stress and increased fatty acid β‐oxidation, revealing a conserved mechanism linking glutamatergic signaling to healthy aging.

Further Insights Into Anticholinergic Action Informed by Japanese Anticholinergic Risk Scale
ABSTRACT The increased anticholinergic burden caused by medications in older adults is one of the adverse drug reactions of particular concern, as it can exacerbate the onset of geriatric syndromes or induce cognitive dysfunction, and is also related to the issue of polypharmacy.

Neurons in a Dish: A Review of In Vitro Cell Models for Studying Neurogenesis
Different in vitro cell models are valuable to study the different steps of neurogenesis, from the proliferation of neural stem and progenitor cells to the maturation of neurons. Pluripotent stem cells (including embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells), immortalized human neuroblastoma cell lines (SH‐SY5Y, IMR‐32), and primary brain ...

General anesthetics suppress cortical activity, but their cellular mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated how the volatile anesthetic sevoflurane affects layer 5 pyramidal neurons in the auditory cortex. Using patch‐clamp recordings and computational modeling, we found that low‐dose sevoflurane reduces neuronal firing through Kv1.2 channel ...
