Plasticity of Neuron-Glial Transmission: Equipping Glia for Long-Term Integration of Network Activity by Wayne Croft, Katharine L. Dobson, Tomas C. Bellamy

“…In this review, we summarize current examples of plasticity in neuron-glial transmission, in many brain regions and neurotransmitter pathways. We argue that induction of glial plasticity typically requires repetitive neuronal firing over long time periods (minutes-hours) rather than the short-lived, stereotyped trigger typical of canonical long-term potentiation. …”

Neuron-Glia Interactions in Neural Plasticity: Contributions of Neural Extracellular Matrix and Perineuronal Nets by Egor Dzyubenko, Christine Gottschling, Andreas Faissner

“…Astrocytes develop an intimate association with synapses in the central nervous system (CNS) and contribute to the regulation of ion and neurotransmitter concentrations. Together with neurons, they shape intercellular space to provide a stable milieu for neuronal activity. …”

NaHS modulates astrocytic EAAT2 expression to impact SNI-induced neuropathic pain and depressive-like behaviors by Man-Man Qi, Heng-Yue Peng, Tian-Ge Zhang, Yan Li, Meng-Ya Gao, Wen-Bo Sun, Xu-Peng Wang

“…Utilizing the spared nerve injury (SNI) model in mice, the research investigates the role of astrocytes and the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate in chronic pain. The findings reveal that sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), an H2S donor, effectively enhances the mechanical pain threshold and thermal pain escape latency in SNI mice. …”

Comprehensive Insight of Neurodegenerative Diseases and The Role of Neurotoxin Agents — Glutamate by Hui-Min Yap, Kwan-Liang Lye, Loh Teng-Hern Tan

“…The increased concentration of extracellular glutamate has been reported to play a key role in most of the neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, even though its importance as an amino acid neurotransmitter in mammalian. Glutamate toxicity, which can be caused by excessive intake of monosodium glutamate (MSG), is the major contributor to pathological neuronal cell death. …”

Synaptic signatures and disease vulnerabilities of layer 5 pyramidal neurons by Gabriele Marcassa, Dan Dascenco, Blanca Lorente-Echeverría, Danie Daaboul, Jeroen Vandensteen, Elke Leysen, Lucas Baltussen, Andrew J. M. Howden, Joris de Wit

“…We find distinct synaptic signatures of L5 IT and PT neurons that are defined by proteins regulating synaptic organization and transmission, including cell-surface proteins (CSPs), neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels. In addition, we find a differential vulnerability to disease, with a marked enrichment of autism risk genes in the synaptic signature of L5 IT neurons compared to PT neurons. …”

Subarachnoid Transplant of the Human Neuronal hNT2.19 Serotonergic Cell Line Attenuates Behavioral Hypersensitivity without Affecting Motor Dysfunction after Severe Contusive Spina... by Mary J. Eaton, Eva Widerström-Noga, Stacey Quintero Wolfe

“…To address this need for clinically useful human cells, a unique neuronal cell line that synthesizes and secretes/releases the neurotransmitter serotonin (5HT) was isolated. Hind paw tactile allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia induced by severe contusive SCI were potently reversed after lumbar subarachnoid transplant of differentiated cells, but had no effect on open field motor scores, stride length, foot rotation, base of support, or gridwalk footfall errors associated with the SCI. …”

The effects of haloperidol on motor vigour and movement fusion during sequential reaching. by Sebastian Sporn, Joseph M Galea

“…Reward is a powerful tool to enhance human motor behaviour with previous research showing that during a sequential reaching movement, a monetary incentive leads to increased speed of each movement (motor vigour effect), whilst reward-based performance feedback increases the speed of transition between movements (movement fusion effect). The neurotransmitter dopamine plays a central role in the processing of reward signals and has been implicated to modulate motor vigour and regulate movement fusion. …”
