Background: Interferons (IFNs) are ototoxic drugs leading to vestibular and auditory disorders. This study investigated the effect of pro-inflammatory cytokine IFN-α2b on the afferent glutamatergic synaptic transmission of the ...

Background So far, only indirect evidence exists for the pharmacoresistant R-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channel (VGCC) to be involved in transretinal signaling by triggering GABA-release onto ON-bipolar neurons.

Epileptogenesis in the developing brain: what can we learn from animal models? [PDF]
Knowledge of the processes by which epilepsy is generated (epileptogenesis) is incomplete and has been a topic of major research efforts. Animal models can inform us about these processes. We focus on the distinguishing features of epileptogenesis in the

Loss of cyclin‐dependent kinase‐like 5 results in susceptibility to audiogenic seizures in mice
Abstract CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD) is a severe neurodevelopmental encephalopathy characterized by early‐onset, treatment‐resistant epilepsy. Mice lacking CDKL5 display several clinically relevant phenotypes, but spontaneous seizures are not consistently reported, and it is unknown if CDD model mice are susceptible to sensory stimulus‐triggered ...

Corticotropin‐releasing hormone–induced seizures in infant rats originate in the amygdala [PDF]
The neuroanatomical substrate of seizures induced by picomolar amounts of corticotropin‐releasing hormone in infant rats was investigated. Electrographic and behavioral phenomena were monitored in 42 rat pups aged 5 to 22 days.

EHD4 and ASAP2 are critical negative regulators of the claudin‐5‐based endothelial barrier
Cell‐surface CLDN‐5 protein levels can be evaluated using a probe that can bind to the extracellular domains of CLDN‐5. A probe derived from Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin allows us to isolate cells with high CLDN‐5 protein levels from a knockout cell library.

Febrile seizures in the developing brain result in persistent modification of neuronal excitability in limbic circuits. [PDF]
Febrile (fever-induced) seizures affect 3-5% of infants and young children. Despite the high incidence of febrile seizures, their contribution to the development of epilepsy later in life has remained controversial.

Serotonin receptor antagonists increase fast ripple activity in rats treated with kainic acid
Fast ripples (FR, 250-600 Hz) are field potentials that occur only in those areas capable of generating seizures, such as the hippocampus, and modulation of FR by serotonin has been reported. Therefore, we hypothesized that the receptor antagonists 5HT1A and 5HT2A, B, C will increase FR in rats treated with kainic acid (KA, 0.8 μg/0.5 μl).

Anxiety-like behavior of prenatally stressed rats is associated with a selective reduction of glutamate release in the ventral hippocampus [PDF]
Abnormalities of synaptic transmission and plasticity in the hippocampus represent an integral part of the altered programming triggered by early life stress.
