Neurotransmitter modulation of extracellular H+ fluxes from isolated retinal horizontal cells of the skate

, 2004
Self-referencing H+-selective microelectrodes were used to measure extracellular H+ fluxes from horizontal cells isolated from the skate retina. A standing H+ flux was detected from quiescent cells, indicating a higher concentration of free hydrogen ions

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

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
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

ADAR-mediated RNA editing suppresses sleep by acting as a brake on glutamatergic synaptic plasticity. [PDF]

, 2016
It has been postulated that synaptic potentiation during waking is offset by a homoeostatic reduction in net synaptic strength during sleep. However, molecular mechanisms to support such a process are lacking. Here we demonstrate that deficiencies in the

Epigenetic mechanisms and therapeutic innovations in chronic pain‐associated neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic pain, marked by nociceptive sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity, affects 30% of the global population with escalating socioeconomic burdens. Epidemiological data show a 2‐3‐fold increase in neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities among individuals with chronic pain, where epigenetic dysregulation serves as a key mechanism linking ...

Phosphorylation of Spinophilin Modulates Its Interaction with Actin Filaments [PDF]

, 2003
Spinophilin is a protein phosphatase 1 (PP1)- and actin-binding protein that modulates excitatory synaptic transmission and dendritic spine morphology. We report that spinophilin is phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase A (PKA).

Respiratory dysfunction and fatal apnea during pilocarpine‐induced status epilepticus

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Status epilepticus (SE) is second only to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy as a cause of seizure‐related mortality. The progression of respiratory dysfunction during experimental SE remains poorly characterized. We investigated how pilocarpine‐induced SE affects respiration in mice.

Pituitary Adenylate-Cyclase Activating Polypeptide Regulates Hunger- and Palatability-Induced Binge Eating [PDF]

, 2016
While pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) signaling in the hypothalamic ventromedial nuclei (VMN) has been shown to regulate feeding, a challenge in unmasking a role for this peptide in obesity is that excess feeding can involve ...

Neuronal hyperexcitability: A key to unraveling hippocampal synaptic dysfunction in Lafora disease

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objective Lafora disease (LD) is a rare progressive disorder caused by mutations in the EPM2A or EPM2B genes, characterized by the accumulation of Lafora bodies, drug‐resistant epilepsy, and cognitive decline. To investigate the early molecular mechanisms of LD, we studied electrophysiological changes in the dentate gyrus (DG ...

Treatment approaches in posthypoxic myoclonus: A narrative review with expert opinion

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Acute posthypoxic myoclonus (PHM) is a neurological complication that typically emerges within 12–48 h following cardiac arrest, often in comatose patients. It can present as generalized, multifocal, or focal myoclonus and has traditionally been associated with poor prognosis.

3′UTR variants of ALS‐linked RNAs modify subcellular and cellular phenotypes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Our study demonstrates that alternative 3′UTR variants of ALS‐linked transcripts modulate subcellular RNA localization and cytoskeletal architecture. NEFH 3′UTR‐Long promotes nuclear RNA clustering, while SOD1 3′UTR‐Long reduces filopodia formation. These results suggest that 3′UTRs, independent of coding sequences, can influence neuronal phenotypes ...
