Chronic cocaine enhances release of neuroprotective amino acid taurine: a microdialysis study [PDF]

, 2008
Cocaine inhibits high-affinity neurotransmitter uptake at the presynaptic nerve terminals to increase synaptic levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin^1^. This increase of synaptic dopamine may cause neurotoxicity^2,3^.

Endocannabinoid system gene expression in mesocorticolimbic brain regions of individuals with alcohol use disorder: A descriptive study

Addiction, Volume 121, Issue 5, Page 1179-1189, May 2026.
Abstract Aims To describe differences in the expression of genes encoding cannabinoid receptors (CNR1, CNR2), the associated receptor GRP55 and the enzymes fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MGLL) between individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and controls in key mesocorticolimbic brain regions.

Vesicular glutamate transporter VGLUT2 expression emerges in substantia nigra dopamine neurons in mouse models of parkinsonism in the absence of neurodegeneration

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 9, Page 2123-2138, May 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose Subsets of midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons express the vesicular glutamate transporter VGLUT2 and can release the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. VGLUT2+ DA neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) were shown to be more resistant to neurodegeneration in animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD ...

Review: “The Disappointment Dilemma: Short‐ and Long‐Term Learning From Negative Outcomes”

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 9, May 2026.
The habenula routes negative‐outcome signals to VTA, RMTg, and IPN to shape aversive learning and motivation. The lateral habenula encodes acute negative prediction errors to rapidly adapt behavior to threat, fear, and avoidance. The medial habenula integrates repeated stress, drug, and aversive experiences into long‐term negative mood and expectations.

Individual differences in effects of stressful life events on childhood ADHD: genetic, neural, and familial contributions

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Volume 67, Issue 5, Page 788-800, May 2026.
Background This study elucidates the intricate relationship between stressful life events and the development of ADHD symptoms in children, acknowledging the considerable variability in individual responses. By examining these differences, we aim to uncover the unique combinations of factors contributing to varying levels of vulnerability and ...

How Does the Body Affect the Mind? Role of Cardiorespiratory Coherence in the Spectrum of Emotions [PDF]

, 2015
The brain is considered to be the primary generator and regulator of emotions; however, afferent signals originating throughout the body are detected by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and brainstem, and, in turn, can modulate emotional processes ...

Prenatal Methyl Nutrient Availability Shapes Mesolimbic Dopaminergic Circuitry and Systemic Inflammation in Wistar Rat Offspring of Both Sexes

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 5, May 2026.
The dopaminergic system, a core component of the brain reward circuitry, is sensitive to early‐life nutritional environments that influence developmental trajectories. Using a prenatal dietary model in Wistar rats, high folic acid and low choline intake produced offspring with greater body weight and food intake, disrupted activity patterns, altered ...

Towards Mechanism‐Informed Treatments for Mental Health

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 5, May 2026.
Neuropsychiatric disorders impose a major global health burden, and current treatments, which historically mostly targeted dopamine and serotonin dysfunctions, often provide only partial, symptomatic relief. This review highlights emerging evidence that additional neuromodulator systems, including acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and endocannabinoids ...

GABRB3 Gene Polymorphisms Influences the Analgesic Response to Acupuncture Treatment in Patients With Chronic Knee Pain: A Randomized Controlled Neuroimaging Transcriptomics Study

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 8, 30 April 2026.
Study on KOA chronic knee pain patients shows GABRB3 rs4906902 polymorphism influences acupuncture analgesic efficacy, related to gray matter volume and gene expression in pain‐modulating brain regions. ABSTRACT The mechanisms underlying individual variability in acupuncture analgesia among patients with chronic pain remain unclear.
