Epilepsy: Molecular Pathogenesis and Emerging Therapies

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Progress has been made in the molecular pathogenesis of epilepsy, revealing multiple therapeutic targets. Recent advances in pharmacology, materials science, and surgical technique, coupled with progress in targeted therapy and disruptive epilepsy network technology, have led to the emergence of innovative strategies for epilepsy treatment.

Development of a novel risk score reflecting the relative harm potential of synthetic cannabinoids based on prevalence estimates, well‐documented intoxication cases and basic pharmacological data

Addiction, Volume 121, Issue 4, Page 870-882, April 2026.
Abstract Background and aims While the health hazards of synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRAs) are often approximated using in vitro pharmacological parameters as surrogate, this approach fails to consider pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic complexity.

CB2 Cannabinoid Receptor Knockout in Mice Impairs Contextual Long-Term Memory and Enhances Spatial Working Memory

Neural Plasticity, 2016
Neurocognitive effects of cannabinoids have been extensively studied with a focus on CB1 cannabinoid receptors because CB1 receptors have been considered the major cannabinoid receptor in the nervous system. However, recent discoveries of CB2 cannabinoid

Cannabinoid Receptor Type 1 Expression in the Developing Avian Retina: Morphological and Functional Correlation With the Dopaminergic System

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
The avian retina has been used as a model to study signaling by different neuro- and gliotransmitters. It is unclear how dopaminergic and cannabinoid systems are related in the retina. Here we studied the expression of type 1 and 2 cannabinoid receptors (

Signal Amplification in the HPT Axis—Evidence for Its Existence, Location, Significance, and Molecular Mechanisms

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Thyroid hormones (THs) are under negative feedback regulation via the hypothalamic–pituitary‐thyroid (HPT) axis. How this axis operates to keep the circulating THs within a narrow physiological range is not well understood quantitatively. Led by the design principle of robust homeostatic feedback control, here we review and synthesize the ...

Sex‐specific impact of repeated adolescent vapour exposure to JWH‐018 on dopamine response, behaviour and pharmacokinetics across adolescence and adulthood

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 7, Page 1517-1538, April 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose Alarming trends show that vaping e‐cigarettes containing synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists, such as JWH‐018, is increasing among youth. However, the effects of these trends are unclear in both sexes. We therefore characterized the neuropharmacological effects of adolescent JWH‐018 inhalation in male and female rats.

Evaluation of preclinical antipsychotic models used to support first‐in‐human clinical trials

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 7, Page 1364-1389, April 2026.
Abstract Schizophrenia is regarded as a complex and heterogeneous psychiatric disorder, characterised by diverse symptoms and comorbidities, which complicate both clinical management and drug development. Current pharmacological treatment, primarily based on dopamine D2 receptor antagonism or partial agonism, which has not markedly progressed since the
