Striatal Neurodegeneration that Mimics Huntington’s Disease Modifies GABA-induced Currents
Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a degenerative disease which produces cognitive and motor disturbances. Treatment with GABAergic agonists improves the behavior and activity of mitochondrial complexes in rodents treated with 3-nitropropionic acid to ...

The Locus Coeruleus‐Periaqueductal Gray GABAergic Projection Regulates Comorbid Pain and Depression
LC‐GABA neurons exhibit elevated activity to noxious and aversive stimuli in chronic pain, and their activation alleviates pain‐ and depression‐like behaviors. While LC‐GABA neurons target LC‐NA neurons and GABA and Glu neurons in the vlPAG, they modulate the pain responses of LC‐NA neurons but regulate pain‐ and depression‐like behaviors through their

Tetramethylenedisulfotetramine alters Ca²⁺ dynamics in cultured hippocampal neurons: mitigation by NMDA receptor blockade and GABA(A) receptor-positive modulation. [PDF]
Tetramethylenedisulfotetramine (TETS) is a potent convulsant that is considered a chemical threat agent. We characterized TETS as an activator of spontaneous Ca²⁺ oscillations and electrical burst discharges in mouse hippocampal neuronal cultures at 13 ...

Multiscale Organization of Neural Networks in a 3D Bioprinted Matrix
A 3D bioprint model of primary neurons has been engineered with a millimeter‐scale functional neural network, and it recapitulates in vivo transcriptomic features under both normal and disease conditions to the greatest extent. The successful integration of mature neurons and 3D bioprinting signifies a major advance in neuroscience modeling ...

Clinically applicable GABA receptor positive allosteric modulators promote ß-cell replication. [PDF]
A key goal of diabetes research is to develop treatments to safely promote human ß-cell replication. It has recently become appreciated that activation of γ-aminobutyric acid receptors (GABA-Rs) on ß-cells can promote their survival and replication.

Post-synaptic GABAA receptors potentiate transmission by recruiting CaV2 channels to their inputs
Summary: We describe a retrograde synaptic signal at the C. elegans GABAergic neuromuscular junction. At this synapse, GABA release is controlled by two voltage-activated calcium channels (UNC-2/CaV2 and EGL-19/CaV1), and muscle responses are mediated by

The research team integrated a potentiometrically controlled pH electrode with carbon nanotube (CNT) field‐effect transistor (FET) biosensors on a single chip using compatible processes. By employing zonal modification and optimized pH‐sensitive probes, they achieved simultaneous quadruple‐target detection and tenfold reusability under physiological ...

RNA editing regulates insect gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor function and insecticide sensitivity [PDF]
A-to-I pre-mRNA editing by adenosine deaminase enzymes has been reported to enhance protein diversity in the nervous system. In Drosophila, the resistance to dieldrin (RDL) gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor subunit displays an editing site (R122 ...

GABA Receptors and the Pharmacology of Sleep
Current GABAergic sleep-promoting medications were developed pragmatically, without making use of the immense diversity of GABAA receptors. Pharmacogenetic experiments are leading to an understanding of the circuit mechanisms in the hypothalamus by which zolpidem and similar compounds induce sleep at α2βγ2-type GABAA receptors.
