Exosome‐mediated gut–brain axis signaling in neurodegenerative diseases: Mechanisms, experimental evidence, and therapeutic perspectives—A narrative review

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The gut–brain axis is a bidirectional communication network between the intestines and brain, mediated by gut microbiota and exosomes, that regulates neuroinflammation, protein aggregation, and neuronal health processes central to neurodegenerative diseases.

An electrophysiological study of the interaction between fenamate NSAIDs and the GABA(_A) receptor [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The effects of certain NSAIDs were determined on agonist-evoked responses recorded from rat neurones maintained in vitro using electrophysiological techniques. Initially, the rat isolated vagus and optic nerves were employed. Alphaxalone, pentobarbitone,

Exocytosis of ATP from astrocytes modulates phasic and tonic inhibition in the neocortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Communication between neuronal and glial cells is important for many brain functions. Astrocytes can modulate synaptic strength via Ca2+-stimulated release of various gliotransmitters, including glutamate and ATP. A physiological role of ATP release from

Gut–Brain Axis Modulation by Short‐Chain Fatty Acids Exerts Disease‐Modifying Effects in a Murine Model of Drug‐Resistant Epilepsy

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) remains a clinical challenge, as therapies modifying disease trajectory are lacking. Increasing evidence implicates gut microbiota dysbiosis in epilepsy pathophysiology, with short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) emerging as key microbial metabolites with neuroprotective and anti‐inflammatory properties.

Discovery of new scaffolds for GABA(A) receptor modulators from natural origin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors are the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the central nervous system (CNS). These heteropentameric transmembrane proteins act as chloride ion channel upon activation by the endogenous ligand γ-

The major central endocannabinoid directly acts at GABA(A) receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
GABA(A) receptors are the major ionotropic inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors. The endocannabinoid system is a lipid signaling network that modulates different brain functions. Here we show a direct molecular interaction between the two systems.

Isovaline does not activate GABA(B) receptor-coupled potassium currents in GABA(B) expressing AtT-20 cells and cultured rat hippocampal neurons.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Isovaline is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that has analgesic properties. R-isovaline is a proposed agonist of the γ-aminobutyric acid type B (GABA(B)) receptor in the thalamus and peripheral tissue.

Allosteric Modulation of αβδ GABAA Receptors

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2010
GABAA receptors mediate the majority of the fast inhibition in the mature brain and play an important role in the pathogenesis of many neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Pathophysiological role of extrasynaptic GABAA receptors in typical absence epilepsy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
GABA is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian CNS. It acts via two classes of receptors, the GABAA, a ligand gated ion channel (ionotropic receptor) and the metabotropic G-protein coupled GABAB receptor.
