Regulation of Arabidopsis 14-3-3 gene expression by GABA. [PDF]
The function in plants of the non-protein amino acid, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is poorly understood. In this study, we show that GABA down-regulates the expression of a large sub-set of 14-3-3 gene family members in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings ...

Alterations of Astrocytes in the Context of Schizophrenic Dementia
The levels of the astrocyte markers (GFAP, S100B) were increased unevenly in patients with schizophrenia. Reactive astrogliosis was found in approximately 70% of patients with schizophrenia.

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Activation in Cerebelar Purkinje Cells as Substrate for Adaptive Timing of the Classicaly Conditioned Eye Blink Response [PDF]
To understand how the cerebellum adaptively times the classically conditioned nictitating membrane response (NMR), a model of the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) second messenger system in cerebellar Purkinje cells is constructed.

Transducer Materials Mediated Deep Brain Stimulation in Neurological Disorders
This review discusses advanced transducer materials for improving deep brain stimulation (DBS) in neurological disorders. These materials respond to light, ultrasound, or magnetic fields, enabling precise, less invasive neuromodulation. Their stimulus‐responsive properties enhance neural control and adaptive therapy, paving the way for next‐generation ...

Glutamate Receptor Signaling in Retina Müller Cells: Plausible Role in Neurodegeneration
The retinal network relies on glutamate, the primary excitatory neurotransmitter involved in the visual cycle. Glutamate transactions are carried out by an array of distinct receptors and transporters distributed across both pre- and post-synaptic ...

CRF1/CRF2 and MC3/MC4 Receptors Affect Glutamate- Induced Food Intake in Neonatal Meat-Type Chicken
Central glutamate, melanocortin and corticotropin systems have mediatory role on several physiologic functions in the brain, but their interactions on appetite regulation are not fully elicited.

THE POSSIBILITY OF ADMINISTRATION OF GLUTAMATE RECEPTORS ANTAGONISTS IN THE TREATMENT OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE [PDF]
Parkinson's disease is the slow-progressing chronic neurodegenerative disease. It caused by the progressive destruction and death of neurons that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine, primarily in the substantia nigra and also in other parts of the ...

FGF-2 Induces Neuronal Death through Upregulation of System xc- [PDF]
The cystine/glutamate antiporter (system xc-) transports cystine into cell in exchange for glutamate. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) upregulates system xc- selectively on astrocytes, which leads to increased cystine uptake, the substrate for ...
