Role of cytokines in experimental neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory disorders [PDF]
Altered expression of cytokines in response to body injury has diverse actions that can exacerbate, mediate, reduce or inhibit neuronal and myelin damage as well as influence the disease development in a variety of nervous system disorders, such as ...

Anti-epileptic properties of terpineol extracted from Myristica fragrans Houtt. essential oil in the epileptic rat model. [PDF]
Epilepsy is the manifestation of the disease due to overstimulation of the brain. The common signs of this disease are chronic, episodic and recurrent seizures.

Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) downregulates the function of its receptor (CRF1) and induces CRF1 expression in hippocampal and cortical regions of the immature rat brain. [PDF]
In addition to regulating the neuroendocrine stress response, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) has been implicated in both normal and pathological behavioral and cognitive responses to stress. CRH-expressing cells and their target neurons possessing

An immature mossy fiber innervation of hilar neurons may explain their resistance to kainate-induced cell death in 15-day-old rats. [PDF]
Recent studies in adult rodents have shown that mossy fibers, the axons of hippocampal granule cells, sprout into the inner molecular layer of adult rats when hilar cell death occurs following kainate-induced seizure activity.

Regional distribution of the prostaglandin E2 receptor EP1 in the rat brain: accumulation in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum [PDF]
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), is a major prostanoid produced by the activity of cyclooxygenases (COX) in response to various physiological and pathological stimuli. PGE2 exerts its effects by activating four specific E-type prostanoid receptors (EP1, EP2, EP3

Suppression of hippocampal neurogenesis is associated with developmental stage, number of perinatal seizure episodes, and glucocorticosteroid level. [PDF]
Seizures increase dentate granule cell proliferation in adult rats but decrease proliferation in young pups. The particular period and number of perinatal seizures required to cause newborn granule cell suppression in development are unknown.

Synthesis of kainic acid derivatives and their application as kainate receptors probes
Kainate receptors play important roles in the central nervous system. However, investigating their role in physiology is hampered by the current lack of tools to study them in dynamic cellular contexts. This thesis describes the synthesis of C4-kainoids and their derivatives, which are designed to serve as chemical probes to study kainate receptors in ...
