ABSTRACT The medial habenula–interpeduncular nucleus pathway is a highly conserved and densely innervated brain circuit known for its unique cholinergic transmission and exceptional expression of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. This pathway plays a critical role in regulating motivational and emotional processes, particularly those related to ...

Structural rearrangements underlying ligand-gating in Kir channels [PDF]
Inward rectifier potassium (Kir) channels are physiologically regulated by a wide range of ligands that all act on a common gate, although structural details of gating are unclear.

Repeated neonatal sevoflurane exposure impairs adolescent fear memory through Igfbp2 downregulation in paraventricular thalamus‐central amygdala glutamatergic projections. Restoring Igfbp2 or activating this circuit rescues memory deficits, neuronal excitability, and spine density, identifying a precise molecular target for preventing anesthesia ...

Q/R site interactions with the M3 helix in GluK2 kainate receptor channels revealed by thermodynamic mutant cycles [PDF]
RNA editing at the Q/R site near the apex of the pore loop of AMPA and kainate receptors controls a diverse array of channel properties, including ion selectivity and unitary conductance and susceptibility to inhibition by polyamines and cis-unsaturated ...

A new family of outwardly rectifying potassium channel proteins with two pore domains in tandem. [PDF]
Potassium channels catalyse the permeation of K+ ions across cellular membranes and are identified by a common structural motif, a highly conserved signature sequence of eight amino acids in the P domain of each channel's pore-forming alpha-subunit. Here

Ventricular Action Potential Adaptation to Regular Exercise: Role of β-adrenergic and K\u3csub\u3eATP\u3c/sub\u3e Channel Function [PDF]
Regular exercise training is known to affect the action potential duration (APD) and improve heart function, but involvement of β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) subtypes and/or the ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel is unknown.

A PI3K-mediated negative feedback regulates Drosophila motor neuron excitability [PDF]
Negative feedback can act as a homeostatic mechanism to maintain neuronal activity at a particular specified value. At the Drosophila neuromuscular junction, a mutation in the type II metabotropic glutamate receptor gene (mGluRA) increased motor neuron ...

Single-Cell RNA-seq Reveals Profound Alterations in Mechanosensitive Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons with Vitamin E Deficiency. [PDF]
Ninety percent of Americans consume less than the estimated average requirements of dietary vitamin E (vitE). Severe vitE deficiency due to genetic mutations in the tocopherol transfer protein (TTPA) in humans results in ataxia with vitE deficiency (AVED)
