Integrated workflow of domoic acid (DA) detection in seafood using a high‐sensitivity electrochemical biosensor and subsequent evaluation of DA‐induced cellular responses. (A) DA monitoring in seafood: Marine samples (European anchovy and mussels from the Marmara and Black Sea) were collected, extracted using a 1:1 methanol/water mixture, and analyzed ...

p75, but Not proNGF, Is Upregulated Following Status Epilepticus in Mice
ProNGF and p75 NTR are upregulated and induce cell death following status epilepticus (SE) in rats. However, less is known about the proneurotrophin response to SE in mice, a more genetically tractable species where mechanisms can be more readily ...

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

3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine enhances kainic acid convulsive susceptibility [PDF]
Kainic acid (KA) causes seizures and neuronal loss in the hippocampus. The present study investigated whether a recreational schedule of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) favours the development of a seizure state in a model of KA-induced epilepsy

Background and Purpose Adenosine is a potent regulator of neurotransmission and neuronal excitability, through activation of Gi coupled adenosine A1 receptors (A1Rs). Adenosine has gained interest as an anticonvulsant because of its endogenous involvement in ending seizure activity, but peripheral side effects require local application.

Molecular Mechanism Involved in the Pathogenesis of Early-Onset Epileptic Encephalopathy [PDF]
Recent studies have shown that neurologic inflammation may both precipitate and sustain seizures, suggesting that inflammation may be involved not only in epileptogenesis but also in determining the drug-resistant profile.

Increased sensitivity to kainic acid in a genetic model of reduced NMDA receptor function [PDF]
The pathophysiology of schizophrenia may involve reduced NMDA receptor function and experimental models of NMDA receptor hypofunction have proven useful for characterizing neurobiological abnormalities potentially relevant to schizophrenia. The present study assessed behavioral responses and induction of Fos after administration of kainic acid to wild ...

SORBS2: A Molecular Nexus in Multisystem Diseases Through Scaffold‐Mediated Regulation
ABSTRACT Sorbin and SH3 Domain Containing 2 (SORBS2), a multifunctional scaffold protein harbouring Sorbin homology (SoHo) and Src homology 3 (SH3) domains, serves as a molecular hub in human diseases by integrating cytoskeletal remodelling, signal transduction and RNA metabolic regulation. This study systematically analyses SORBS2's molecular features,

A kainic acid receptor from frog brain purified using domoic acid affinity chromatography.
A kainic acid receptor was purified from Triton X-100/digitonin-solubilized frog brain membranes. The purification was carried out in two steps: ion exchange chromatography using DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B and affinity chromatography with domoic acid immobilized on Sepharose 4B.

Microglial GPR35 Ameliorates Epileptogenesis and Neuroinflammation via PDGFA Domain 2 Signaling
Activation of microglial G protein–coupled receptor 35 (GPR35) by L‐kynurenic acid (L‐Kyna) initiates a platelet‐derived growth factor A (PDGFA)–dependent phosphoinositide 3‐kinase–protein kinase B (PI3K–AKT) signaling cascade that dampens hippocampal neuroinflammation, thereby restraining epileptogenesis, lowering seizure susceptibility, and ...
