Psychedelics as pharmacotherapeutics for substance use disorders: A scoping review on clinical trials and perspectives on underlying neurobiology

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Theorized mechanism of dopamine homeostasis restoration in the nucleus accumbens core induced by a psychedelic intervention. Abstract Psychedelics have garnered great attention in recent years as treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD) and treatment‐resistant depression because of their ability to alter consciousness and afflicted cognitive ...

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

A role for epithelium‐derived 6‐nitrodopamine on human ureter contractility

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose To investigate the basal release of 6‐nitrodopamine (6‐ND) from human isolated ureter and the role of this novel catecholamine in the ureter contractility. Experimental Approach Ureters from 67 brain‐dead organ donors (40 males and 27 females) were used during kidney transplantation procedures.

Prenatal Diagnosis of MSL2‐Related Ventriculomegaly in Association With an Inherited 15q13 Microduplication

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
We hereby report the first prenatal diagnosis of MSL2‐related pathology, namely ventriculomegaly. Favorable 11‐month follow‐up illustrates the challenges in predicting postnatal outcomes for genetic anomalies linked to recently characterized phenotypes with limited documented cases.

Three‐year outcomes of repeated botulinum neurotoxin A injections to the lower extremities in young children with spastic cerebral palsy in GMFCS levels I to III

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
In this study, we followed a group of children 2 to 6 years old with spastic cerebral palsy functioning in GMFCS levels I–III, over 3 years. Sixty‐five received BoNT‐A and 59 did not. Repeated BoNT‐A injections over 3 years were not associated with improvements in gross motor function or passive ankle dorsiflexion. Daily step counts, favouring the BoNT‐

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.

Equine botulism

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Botulism is a severe and often fatal disease in equine patients worldwide. Clostridium botulinum is a ubiquitous soil organism which produces a potent neurotoxin resulting in neuromuscular blockade and flaccid paralysis in affected animals. Definitive diagnosis is often impractical or impossible, leading to diagnosis and treatment based on ...

D1/D5 receptor activation promotes long‐term potentiation and synaptic tagging/capture in hippocampal area CA2

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Activation of dopamine receptor D1 (D1R) stimulates PKA and ERK pathways via dissociation of stimulatory and olfactory G protein alpha subunits (Gαs/olf). PKA relieves striatal‐enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase (STEP) inhibition of ERK, promoting cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element‐binding protein (CREB)‐driven transcription of ...
