Conformational pathway provides unique sensitivity to a synaptic mGluR

Nature Communications, 2019
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are dimeric G-protein–coupled receptors that operate at neural synapses. Here authors use FRET assays in live cells to monitor mGluR2/7’s activation and reveal how heterodimerization can alter the glutamate ...

Control of cortical neuronal migration by glutamate and GABA

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
Neuronal migration in the cortex is controlled by the paracrine action of the classical neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. Glutamate controls radial migration of pyramidal neurons by acting primarily on NMDA receptors and regulates tangential ...

Ancient Protostome Origin of Chemosensory Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors and the Evolution of Insect Taste and Olfaction

PLoS Genetics, 2010
Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are a highly conserved family of ligand-gated ion channels present in animals, plants, and bacteria, which are best characterized for their roles in synaptic communication in vertebrate nervous systems.

Activation of Glutamatergic Neurons in the Supramammillary Nucleus Promotes the Recovery of Consciousness under Sevoflurane Anesthesia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Selective lesioning of SuM glutamatergic neurons promoted the induction of and delayed emergence from sevoflurane anesthesia and increased sevoflurane sensitivity. Optogenetic stimulation of SuM glutamatergic neurons or the SuM‐MS projection promoted behavioral arousal and cortical activation under steady‐state sevoflurane anesthesia and reduced the ...

Analgesia induced by the epigenetic drug, L-acetylcarnitine, outlasts the end of treatment in mouse models of chronic inflammatory and neuropathic pain [PDF]

, 2017
Background: L-acetylcarnitine, a drug marketed for the treatment of chronic pain, causes analgesia by epigenetically up-regulating type-2 metabotropic glutamate (mGlu2) receptors in the spinal cord.

In-vivo Magnetic Resonance Imaging of GABA and Glutamate [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a molecular imaging methodology capable of mapping brain metabolites with relatively high spatial resolution. Specificity is the main goal of such experiments; yet CEST is confounded by spectral overlap between different molecular species.

LTP requires a reserve pool of glutamate receptors independent of subunit type

Nature, 2012
Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission is thought to be an important cellular mechanism underlying memory formation. A widely accepted model posits that LTP requires the cytoplasmic carboxyl tail (C-tail) of the AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5 ...

Mucous Permeable Nanoparticle for Inducing Cuproptosis‐Like Death In Broad‐Spectrum Bacteria for Nebulized Treatment of Acute Pneumonia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Copper‐based nanoparticles doped with BSO, and modified with PEG, not only can it increase the retention ability and mucosal penetration ability in the lungs, but also induce cuproptosis‐like death in bacteria and inhibit bacterial TCA cycle. It can also inhibit bacterial quorum sensing, clear biofilms, reduce bacterial virulence, and thus exert ...

Neuropharmacological targets for drug action in vestibular sensory pathways [PDF]

, 2017
The use of pharmacological agents is often the preferred approach to the management of vestibular dysfunction. In the vestibular sensory pathways, the sensory neuroepithelia are thought to be influenced by a diverse number of neuroactive substances that ...

Pharmacological or genetic orexin 1 receptor inhibition attenuates MK-801 induced glutamate release in mouse cortex

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
The orexin/hypocretin neuropeptides are produced by a cluster of neurons within the lateral posterior hypothalamus and participate in neuronal regulation by activating their receptors (OX1 and OX2 receptors).
