Muscarinic cannabinoid suppression of excitation, a novel form of coincidence detection by Michaela Dvorakova, Ken Mackie, Alex Straiker

“…Here we report that coincident activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and elicitation of DSE in autaptic hippocampal neurons results in a substantial (∼40 %) and temporally precise inhibition of excitatory transmission lasting ∼10 minutes. Its induction is blocked by CB1 and muscarinic M3/M5 receptor antagonists and is absent in CB1 receptor knockout neurons. …”

Higher School Teacher’s Competences and “Electronic” Pedagogical Culture in the Post-Pandemic World by T. E. Isaeva

“…This allows us to declare the emergence of a new type of pedagogical culture, namely the “electronic” pedagogical culture of a higher school teacher, which is a natural result of the development of “basic” culture and is characterized by a change in priorities in the structure and in the content of its constituent blocks of competences. The article compares real changes in the structure of a teacher’s personality with forecasts regarding the “competences of the future”, as well as with the “information pedagogical culture”, which is believed to have arisen in the process of information technologies penetration into the educational process. …”

Experimental assessment and analysis of mass transport limiting current density in water vapor-fed polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyzers by Mary Anna Ebbert, Shawn Litster

“…When operating at ultra-high current densities (UHCD), the rate of the OER may reach a critical point at which oxygen gas bubbles fill the pores of the ACL and PTL, completely blocking access of liquid water to the ACL. Because of this, there is a possibility that the cell will rely on water vapor diffusion through the evolving oxygen gas to deliver the water reactant to the OER catalyst. …”

Microiontophoretic Application of Dynorphin in Dental Pain: Excitatory or Inhibitory Effects by Choi SH, Kim YM, Son JY, Ahn DK

“…The inhibitory effects of dynorphin were blocked by nor-binaltorphimine, a kappa receptor antagonist, whereas the facilitatory effects were inhibited by D,L-2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid, an NMDA receptor antagonist.Conclusion: These findings suggest that dynorphin A-induced excitatory responses are mediated by NMDA receptors, whereas its inhibitory responses are mediated through kappa opioid receptors in dental pain. …”

Impact of glycolysis inhibitor (2-DG) and oxidation and phosphorylation uncoupler (2,4-DNP) on brain metabolites by O. B. Shevelev, M. P. Moshkin

“…In the present study, we tested the hypothesis of multidirectional changes in metabolism under the impact of the oxidation and phosphorylation uncoupler 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) and under the impact of 2-deoxy-Dglucose (2-DG), blocking the access of glucose to the brain cells. 1H NMR spectroscopy showed that 2-DG leads to the predominance of excitatory (glutamine + glutamate) neurotransmitters over inhibitory ones (gamma-aminobutyric acid), and 2,4 DNP causes opposite effects. …”
