Activation of GABA_B receptors inhibits protein kinase B /Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 signaling

Molecular Brain, 2012
Accumulated evidence has suggested that potentiation of cortical GABAergic inhibitory neurotransmission may be a key mechanism in the treatment of schizophrenia. However, the downstream molecular mechanisms related to GABA potentiation remain unexplored.

The involvement of GABA-rho receptors in regulating ethanol-induced elevation of dopamine, glycine and taurine within the nucleus accumbens of Wistar rats

Frontiers in Pharmacology
IntroductionAlcohol use disorder (AUD) causes significant morbidity and mortality globally. Ethanol’s rewarding and reinforcing effects are attributed to activation of the mesolimbic dopamine system, increasing accumbal dopamine release. While activation

Exploring the efficacy and safety of perampanel in epilepsia partialis continua: A case series

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) is a form of focal motor status epilepticus (SE), which is commonly drug‐resistant requiring treatment with multiple antiseizure medications (ASM). There are no established guidelines for pharmacological management.

Efficacy of fenfluramine in a pediatric epilepsy patient with a pathogenic SV2A variant: A case report

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Pathogenic SV2A gene variants have been reported as causes of epilepsy and are often associated with drug resistance and susceptibility to fever‐related seizures. No highly effective treatments have been established for this condition. We report a female patient with a family history of epilepsy who developed generalized seizures associated ...

γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors modulate neurosteroid binding to the voltage-dependent anion channel

Acta Chimica Slovenica
Neurosteroids modulate the function of γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors in the brain. We showed that GABAA receptors modulate neurosteroid interactions with VDAC. GABA enhanced [3H]6-AziP labeling of VDAC in a concentration-dependent manner.

Effects of fenfluramine and sigma‐1‐dependent pharmacological and genetic modulation in a mouse kindling model

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Sigma‐1 is a chaperone protein that serves as a key homeostatic regulator, implicated in neuronal excitability and seizure control. Positive allosteric modulators offer a use‐dependent means to enhance Sigma‐1 activity, potentially with favorable tolerability compared to direct agonists.

WONOEP XVII appraisal: The role of the extracellular matrix in epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of proteoglycans and glycoproteins that regulate the external environment surrounding neurons, glia, and the vascular system. The ECM is vital for maintaining the structure and function of the brain and also acts as a reservoir for various signaling molecules and neurotransmitters, modulating synaptic

A translational multimodal machine‐learning prototype predicting valproate response in epilepsy treatment

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy affects ~1% of the global population and often requires lifelong antiseizure medication (ASM) therapy. Valproic acid (VPA) is a commonly prescribed first‐line ASM, yet only approximately half of patients achieve sustained seizure freedom. Treatment selection remains largely empirical.

Add‐on treatment with vinpocetine reduces seizure frequency and improves comorbidities in patients with loss‐of‐function γ‐aminobutyric acid type A receptor variants

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The semisynthetic compound vinpocetine has gained attention as a potential precision medicine for developmental and epileptic encephalopathies caused by loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants in γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor genes. As a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors, case reports suggest that vinpocetine can

Modeling temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis in rats using the selective neurotoxin stable substance P‐saporin

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
On day 0 adult male and female rats were injected with Stable Substance P‐Saporin (SSP‐SAP) at 4 unilateral sites along the longitudinal axis of the dentate gyrus. Rats exhibited spontaneous electrographic and behavioral reactive seizures between days 4‐6. There was a progressive loss of CA1 and CA3 neurons and a progressive increase in astrocytes over
