Neural integrator - a sandpile model [PDF]

arXiv, 2006
We investigated a model for the neural integrator based on hysteretic units connected by positive feedback. Hysteresis is assumed to emerge from the intrinsic properties of the cells. We consider the recurrent networks containing either bistable or multistable neurons.

Functional Proteins Involved in Regulation of Intracellular Ca2+ for Drug Development: Desensitization of N-Methyl-D-aspartate Receptor Channels

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are a principal subtype of excitatory ligand-gated ion channels with crucial roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS).

NLX‐112 Randomized Phase 2A Trial: Safety, Tolerability, Anti‐Dyskinetic, and Anti‐Parkinsonian Efficacy

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Levodopa‐induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with ‘false neurotransmitter’ release of dopamine from serotonin (5‐HT) neurons. NLX‐112 is a first‐in‐class, highly selective 5‐HT1A receptor agonist which counteracts LIDs in experimental PD models.

Targeting Histone H3K9 Methyltransferase G9a as a Potential Therapeutic Strategy for Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuropsychiatric disorders present a multifaceted challenge, characterized by cognitive, social, and motor impairments with manifold underlying mechanisms. Recent attention has turned to epigenetic mechanisms, particularly histone lysine methyltransferases (HKMTs), such as G9a, in understanding fundamental pathogenesis.

Xanomeline‐Trospium Chloride (Cobenfy): A New Era in Managing Schizophrenia—Comparative Effectiveness and Economic Challenges

Medicine Advances, EarlyView.
Xanomeline‐trospium chloride (cobenfy) is a muscarinic agonist used to treat hallucinations and psychotic illnesses such as Alzheimer's and Schizophrenia. It has been constructed for patients who are unable to tolerate dopamine‐targeting therapies and a comparison is drawn against other similar drugs with variables like cost, mechanism of action ...

The Role of Magnesium in Liver Cirrhosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Magnesium is a vital mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, crucial for physiological functions. Its deficiency, common in liver cirrhosis patients, correlates with poor outcomes by affecting inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis, and immunity. This review explores magnesium's role in cirrhosis and its interaction with disease mechanisms.

Complex alteration of NMDA receptors in transgenic Huntington's disease mouse brain: analysis of mRNA and protein expression, plasma membrane association, interacting proteins, and phosphorylation

Neurobiology of Disease, 2003
We analyzed NMDA receptor subunit mRNAs, proteins, and anchoring proteins in mice transgenic for exon 1 of the HD gene. R6/2 mice had decreased levels of mRNAs encoding ε1 and ε2 NMDA receptor subunits (mouse orthologs of rat NR2A and NR2B subunits), but
