Fetal Pain Perception: Legislative Assertions and Developmental Neuroscience

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pain perception is a conscious experience, but neither pain nor consciousness is defined in the developing human fetus. Emergent consciousness may be regarded as a phenomenon that ultimately arises from an essential minimum of functional neuronal connectivity. Proposed U.S.

Molecular mechanism of prolactin-releasing peptide recognition and signaling via its G protein-coupled receptor

Cell Discovery
Prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) is an RF-amide neuropeptide that binds and activates its cognate G protein-coupled receptor, prolactin-releasing peptide receptor (PrRPR), also known as GPR10.

Neuropeptide Y modulates the electrical activity of subfornical organ neurons

Current Research in Neurobiology
The subfornical organ (SFO) is a sensory circumventricular organ, lacking a blood-brain barrier. It is well-recognized as a key center for detection and integration of osmotic, ionic and hormonal signals for maintenance of hydromineral balance and ...

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) as a therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases

Neurobiology of Disease, 2016
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and NPY receptors are widely expressed in the mammalian central nervous system. Studies in both humans and rodent models revealed that brain NPY levels are altered in some neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease ...

Oxytocin Effects on Food Stimulus Processing and Food Intake in Females With or Without Binge Eating Disorder

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Binge eating disorder (BED) is maintained by increased food‐related incentive salience, which is reflected by an attentional bias for food. Oxytocin acutely attenuates this bias in patients with anorexia nervosa and reduces food intake in males with normal or increased body weight.

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...
