P2X7 Receptor-Dependent Layer-Specific Changes in Neuron-Microglia Reactivity in the Prefrontal Cortex of a Phencyclidine Induced Mouse Model of Schizophrenia

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020
Background: It has been consistently reported that the deficiency of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) sensitive purinergic receptor P2X7 (P2X7R) ameliorates symptoms in animal models of brain diseases.Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role ...

Reduction in Phencyclidine Induced Sensorimotor Gating Deficits in the Rat Following Increased System Xc − Activity in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Rationale: Aspects of schizophrenia, including deficits in sensorimotor gating, have been linked to glutamate dysfunction and/or oxidative stress in the prefrontal cortex. System xc −, a cystine–glutamate antiporter, is a poorly understood mechanism that

Hippocampal serotonin depletion unmasks differences in the hyperlocomotor effects of phencyclidine and MK-801: quantitative versus qualitative analyses

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
Antagonism of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors by phencyclidine is thought to underlie its ability to induce a schizophrenia-like syndrome in humans, yet evidence indicates it has a broader pharmacological profile.

Subanesthetic ketamine treatment promotes abnormal interactions between neural subsystems and alters the properties of functional brain networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Acute treatment with subanesthetic ketamine, a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor antagonist, is widely utilized as a translational model for schizophrenia. However, how acute NMDA receptor blockade impacts on brain functioning at a

Phencyclidine-induced changes in rat cortical gene expression identified by microarray analysis: implications for schizophrenia

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2004
Acute phencyclidine induces schizophrenia-like symptoms in healthy humans and psychotic episodes in schizophrenics. Although phencyclidine is known as a N-methyl d-aspartate receptor antagonist (NMDA-R), the molecular events underlying the behavioral ...

The suitability of zebrafish (danio rerio) as an optimal organism to further investigate the associated schizophrenia-like phenotype

open access: yesEuropean Psychiatry, 2023
Introduction Zebrafish (Danio rerio) has evolved over the years as a preferred organism due to its vast repertoire in research fields that mimic a targeted phenotype, particularly behavioral typologies and specific attributes comparable to murine models

Ketamine: NMDA receptors and beyond [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Human studies examining the effects of the dissociative anesthetic ketamine as a model for psychosis and as a rapidly acting antidepressant have spurred great interest in understanding ketamine's actions at molecular, cellular, and network levels ...

Current Concepts on Drug Abuse and Dependence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Drug addiction is a complex disease characterized by compulsive and uncontrollable desire to seek and consume the drug. In time, drug-related terminology has undergone many changes, arising from the deepening of the mechanisms of action, but also about ...
