Mechanisms underlying CSD initiation implicated by genetic mouse models of migraine by Daniela Pietrobon, K.C. Brennan

“…These models, all generated from families with hereditary migraine, allow the investigation of the functional consequences of disease-causing mutations at the molecular, cellular, synaptic and neural circuit levels. In this review, after describing the available genetic mouse models of migraine, which all share increased susceptibility to experimentally induced CSD, we will discuss the functional alterations in their cerebral cortex and the mechanisms underlying the facilitation of CSD initiation in their cortex, as well as the insights that these mechanisms may give into the mechanisms of initiation of spontaneous CSDs in migraine.…”

Neuroprotection by chronic administration of Fluoroethylnormemantine (FENM) in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease by Allison Carles, Aline Freyssin, Sarra Guehairia, Thomas Reguero, Michel Vignes, Hélène Hirbec, Gilles Rubinstenn, Tangui Maurice

“…Markers of neuroinflammation, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and amyloid burden in APP/PS1 mice, were quantified. Markers of synaptic plasticity such as PSD-95 and GluN2A/B/D subunits expression in hippocampus homogenates or synaptosomes were quantified in Aβ25–35-treated mice and synaptic long-term potentiation (LTP) in hippocampal slices was analysed in APP/PS1 mice. …”

Presynaptic CRF1 Receptors Mediate the Ethanol Enhancement of GABAergic Transmission in the Mouse Central Amygdala by Zhiguo Nie, Eric P. Zorrilla, Samuel G. Madamba, Kenner C. Rice, Marissa Roberto, George Robert Siggins

“…These data indicate that presynaptic CRF1 receptors play a critical role in permitting or mediating ethanol enhancement of GABAergic synaptic transmission in CeA, via increased vesicular GABA release, and thus may be a rational target for the treatment of alcohol abuse and alcoholism.…”

The Role of GABAergic Inhibition in Ocular Dominance Plasticity by J. Alexander Heimel, Daniëlle van Versendaal, Christiaan N. Levelt

“…This brings the hope that novel treatments can be developed for brain injuries requiring renewed plasticity potential and neurodevelopmental brain disorders caused by defective synaptic plasticity. One of the central mechanisms responsible for opening the sensitive period is the maturation of inhibitory innervation. …”

Palmitoylation as a Functional Regulator of Neurotransmitter Receptors by Vladimir S. Naumenko, Evgeni Ponimaskin

“…From the functional point of view, palmitoylation affects a wide span of neurotransmitter receptors activities including their trafficking, sorting, stability, residence lifetime at the cell surface, endocytosis, recycling, and synaptic clustering. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the palmitoylation of neurotransmitter receptors and its role in the regulation of receptors functions as well as in the control of different kinds of physiological and pathological behavior.…”
