Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 binding in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder [PDF]
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disabling, mostly chronic, psychiatric condition with significant social and economic impairments and is a major public health issue. However, numerous patients are resistant to currently available pharmacological and psychological interventions.

Oxygen/Glucose deprivation induces a reduction in synaptic AMPA receptors on hippocampal CA3 neurons mediated by mGluR1 and adenosine A3 receptors [PDF]
Hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons are highly sensitive to ischemic damage, whereas neighboring CA3 pyramidal neurons are less susceptible. It is proposed that switching of AMPA receptor (AMPAR) subunits on CA1 neurons during an in vitro model of ischemia,

Astrocytes Control Neuronal Excitability in the Nucleus Accumbens
Though accumulating evidence shows that the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) mediates some of the actions of extracellular glutamate after cocaine use, the cellular events underlying this action are poorly understood.

Abstract Background Fatigue in Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent and debilitating non‐motor symptom. Despite its significant impact on quality of life, the underlying neurochemical and network‐based mechanisms remain poorly understood. Objectives This observational study applied a multimodal imaging approach to explore potential links between the

Targeting glutamate metabolism in melanoma [PDF]
The glutamate metabotropic receptor 1 (GRM1) drives oncogenesis when aberrantly activated in melanoma and several other cancers. Metabolomics reveals that patient-derived xenografts with GRM1-positive melanoma tumors exhibit elevated plasma glutamate levels associated with metastatic melanoma in vivo. Stable isotope tracing and GCMS analysis determined

Calcium Signaling Pathways Involved in Long-Term Potentiation at Excitatory Synapses on Parvalbumin Positive Fast-Spiking GABAergic Neurons in the Mouse Visual Cortex [PDF]
Objective: Recently, we reported the presence of metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5(mGluR-5) dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) at excitatory synapses on fast-spikingGABAergic (FS-GABA) cells in the visual cortex.

Light‐Activated Pharmacological Tools for Exploring the Cholinergic System
ABSTRACT Cholinergic transmission plays a critical role in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, affecting processes such as learning, memory, and inflammation. Conventional cholinergic drugs generally suffer from poor selectivity and temporal precision, leading to undesired effects and limited therapeutic efficacy. Photopharmacology aims to

The prion protein regulates glutamate-mediated Ca2+ entry and mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation in neurons [PDF]
The cellular prion protein (PrPC) whose conformational misfolding leads to the production of deadly prions, has a still-unclarified cellular function despite decades of intensive research.
