Glial cells in the heart: Implications for their roles in health and disease

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 4, Page 1531-1546, 15 February 2026.
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of cardiac autonomic ganglia within epicardial fat pads (posterior heart surface shown), containing vagal postganglionic neuron cell bodies, associated fibres, and glia. These ganglia receive cholinergic input from vagal preganglionic neurons and adrenergic input from sympathetic postganglionic neurons ...

Interneuron Development Is Disrupted in Preterm Brains With Diffuse White Matter Injury: Observations in Mouse and Human

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2019
Preterm brain injury, occurring in approximately 30% of infants born <32 weeks gestational age, is associated with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ...

Alpha-pinene and dizocilpine (MK-801) attenuate kindling development and astrocytosis in an experimental mouse model of epilepsy

open access: yesIBRO Reports, 2020
Understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved during the onset of epilepsy is crucial for elucidating the overall mechanism of epileptogenesis and therapeutic strategies.

Anti‐Neuroinflammation Activity of Essential Oils and Fatty Acids

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Neuroinflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Current pharmacological interventions, such as NSAIDs and corticosteroids, are limited by systemic toxicity and insufficient efficacy in targeting chronic neuroinflammatory processes.

The role of brevican regulation in the antidepressant effects of electroacupuncture in a chronic stress rat model

open access: yesJournal of Traditional Chinese Medical Sciences
Objective: To investigate the mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) for treating depression and to explore the role of brevican in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in modulating stress susceptibility and the antidepressant effects of EA in rats ...

Saccadic Palsy following Cardiac Surgery: Possible Role of Perineuronal Nets.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
ObjectivePerineuronal nets (PN) form a specialized extracellular matrix around certain highly active neurons within the central nervous system and may help to stabilize synaptic contacts, promote local ion homeostasis, or play a protective role.

Increased Excitability and Reduced Excitatory Synaptic Input Into Fast-Spiking CA2 Interneurons After Enzymatic Attenuation of Extracellular Matrix

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
The neural extracellular matrix (ECM) is enriched with hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) and the glycoprotein tenascin-R, which play important roles in synaptic plasticity, as shown by studies of the CA1 region of the hippocampus.

Restoring vision in adult amblyopia by enhancing plasticity through deletion of the transcriptional repressor REST

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Visual cortical plasticity is high during early life, but gradually decreases with development. This is due to the Otx2-driven maturation of intracortical inhibition that parallels the condensation of extracellular matrix components into ...

Perineuronal Net Microscopy: From Brain Pathology to Artificial Intelligence

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences
Perineuronal nets (PNN) are a special highly structured type of extracellular matrix encapsulating synapses on large populations of CNS neurons. PNN undergo structural changes in schizophrenia, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, post-traumatic conditions, and some other brain disorders.
