ABSTRACT Hippocampal Area CA2, with some exceptions, had long been neglected in in vivo studies, due largely to its small size, and in in vitro studies because of its general similarity to CA3 and CA1. Increasing evidence showing that CA2 was molecularly distinct led to the increased appreciation of CA2 as a separate region, and as such, that it likely

Spirocyclic Diamine Scaffolds for Medicinal Chemistry
Here we enumerated 391 spirocyclic diamine drug scaffolds with ring sizes four to eight and found that most of them are unknown. We prepared four novel such spirocycles and discovered a micromolar inhibitor of the M4 muscarinic receptor. ABSTRACT Medicinal chemistry requires the exploration of structurally diverse compound families to expand the ...

ABSTRACT Stimulation of nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide (NOP) opioid receptors by the endogenous ligand nociceptin (Noc) leads to voltage‐gated Ca2+ channel inhibition or G protein inwardly rectifying K+ channel activation. One mechanism of G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) desensitization occurs when G protein‐coupled receptor kinases (GRK ...

Lifestyle and Behavioural Intervention Therapy for Enhanced Hippocampal Neuroplasticity
ABSTRACT Background The neurogenic and neuroplastic capability of the brain plays a crucial role in mitigating responses to internal and external environmental stimuli. However, this process is inhibited in obesity, neurodegenerative and psychological disorders, the prevalence of which has increased on a global scale.
