All Organisms Can Be Anesthetized, but There's No Point?
BioEssays, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Because of their interest in medicine, most studies on anesthesia have historically focused on the nervous systems of animals. This has often led to the neglect of the fact that all life forms have the potential to be anesthetized. Anesthetics target proteins, such as four‐domain voltage‐dependent Na+/Ca2⁺ channels (4D‐NaV/CaV) and glutamate ...

Effects of General Anesthetics on Excitatory and Inhibitory Synaptic Transmission in Area CA1 of the Rat Hippocamptls In Vitro [PDF]
, 1999 It is unclear whether general anesthetics induce enhancement of neural inhibition and/or attenuation of neural excitation.We studied the effects of pentobarbital (5xl0^mol/L), propofol (5x10^ mol/L), ketamine (10^ mol/L), halothane (1.5 vol%) and ...

Glutamate-mediated blood-brain barrier opening. implications for neuroprotection and drug delivery [PDF]
, 2016 The blood-brain barrier is a highly selective anatomical and functional interface allowing a unique environment for neuro-glia networks. Blood-brain barrier dysfunction is common in most brain disorders and is associated with disease course and delayed ...

Mitochondrial Microproteins: Emerging Regulators in Neurodevelopment and Neurodegeneration
BioEssays, EarlyView.Mitochondrial microproteins have emerged as critical regulators of mitochondrial function. Neurons are highly dependent on mitochondria to sustain their function. Mitochondrial microproteins can be deregulated and can contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Mitochondrial microproteins are involved in neuronal development. However,

Local and global spontaneous calcium events regulate neurite outgrowth and onset of GABAergic phenotype during neural precursor differentiation [PDF]
, 2003 Neural stem cells can generate in vitro progenitors of the three main cell lineages found in the CNS. The signaling pathways underlying the acquisition of differentiated phenotypes in these cells are poorly understood.

In vivo evidence for NMDA receptor mediated excitotoxicity in a murine genetic model of Huntington Disease [PDF]
, 2008 N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) mediated excitotoxicity is implicated as a proximate cause of neurodegeneration in Huntington Disease (HD). However, this hypothesis has not been tested rigorously in vivo. NMDAR NR2B-subunits are the predominant NR2
