The dark sides of the GPCR tree ‐ research progress on understudied GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3109-3134, July 2025.
Abstract A large portion of the human GPCRome is still in the dark and understudied, consisting even of entire subfamilies of GPCRs such as odorant receptors, class A and C orphans, adhesion GPCRs, Frizzleds and taste receptors. However, it is undeniable that these GPCRs bring an untapped therapeutic potential that should be explored further.

Does Corticothalamic Feedback Control Cortical Velocity Tuning? [PDF]

, 2001
The thalamus is the major gate to the cortex and its contribution to cortical receptive field properties is well established. Cortical feedback to the thalamus is, in turn, the anatomically dominant input to relay cells, yet its influence on thalamic ...

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and Epileptiform Bursting

Epilepsy Currents, 2002
Differential Roles for mGluR1 and mGluR5 in the Persistent Prolongation of Epileptiform Bursts Merlin LR J Neurophysiol 2002;87:621–625 Purpose Transient activation of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) with the selective agonist (S)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) produces persistent prolongation of epileptiform bursts in guinea ...

G protein‐coupled receptor‐mediated autophagy in health and disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3151-3162, July 2025.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest and most diverse superfamily of mammalian transmembrane proteins. These receptors are involved in a wide range of physiological functions and are targets for more than a third of available drugs in the market. Autophagy is a cellular process involved in degrading damaged proteins and organelles

ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3178-3210, July 2025.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that play a critical role in nervous system function by transmitting signals between cells and their environment. They are involved in many, if not all, nervous system processes, and their dysfunction has been linked to various neurological disorders representing important

Genetic inactivation of mGlu5 receptor improves motor coordination in the Grm1crv4 mouse model of SCAR13 ataxia

Neurobiology of Disease, 2018
Deleterious mutations in the glutamate receptor metabotropic 1 gene (GRM1) cause a recessive form of cerebellar ataxia, SCAR13. GRM1 and GRM5 code for the metabotropic glutamate type 1 (mGlu1) and type 5 (mGlu5) receptors, respectively.

Allosterism in the adenosine A2A and cannabinoid CB2 heteromer

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3371-3384, July 2025.
Abstract Background and Purpose Allosterism is a regulatory mechanism for GPCRs that can be attained by ligand‐binding or protein–protein interactions with another GPCR. We have studied the influence of the dimer interface on the allosteric properties of the A2A receptor and CB2 receptor heteromer.

The path to the G protein‐coupled receptor structural landscape: Major milestones and future directions

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 14, Page 3225-3248, July 2025.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a crucial role in cell function by transducing signals from the extracellular environment to the inside of the cell. They mediate the effects of various stimuli, including hormones, neurotransmitters, ions, photons, food tastants and odorants, and are renowned drug targets.

Estrogenic regulation of hippocampal inhibitory system across lifespan

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 37, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Estrogens produced in peripheral tissues and locally in the brain are potent neuromodulators. The function of the hippocampus, a brain region essential for episodic memory and spatial navigation, relies on the activity of ensembles of excitatory neurons whose activity is temporally and spatially coordinated by a wide diversity of inhibitory ...
