Singular Location and Signaling Profile of Adenosine A2A-Cannabinoid CB1 Receptor Heteromers in the Dorsal Striatum
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-04)
The dorsal striatum is a key node for many neurobiological processes such as motor activity, cognitive functions, and affective processes. The proper functioning of striatal neurons relies critically on metabotropic ...
Endocannabinoid long-term depression revealed at medial perforant path excitatory synapses in the dentate gyrus
(Elsevier, 2019-04-22)
The endocannabinoid system modulates synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, but a link between long-term synaptic plasticity and the type 1 cannabinoid (CB1) receptor at medial perforant path (MPP) synapses remains elusive. ...
Localization and Function of the Cannabinoid CB1 Receptor in the Anterolateral Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis
(Public Library of Science, 2010-01-25)
Background: The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is involved in behaviors related to natural reward, drug addiction and stress. In spite of the emerging role of the endogenous cannabinoid (eCB) system in these ...
Differential Neuroprotective Effects of 5 '-Deoxy-5 '-Methylthioadenosine
(Public Library Science, 2014-03-05)
Background: 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA) is an endogenous compound produced through the metabolism of polyamines. The therapeutic potential of MTA has been assayed mainly in liver diseases and, more recently, in ...
Inflammation in stroke: the role of cholinergic, purinergic and glutamatergic signaling
(2018-05-04)
The inflammatory response is a major factor in stroke pathophysiology and contributes to secondary neuronal damage in both acute and chronic stages of the ischemic injury. Recent work in experimental cerebral ischemia has ...
Purinergic P2X4 receptors modulate neuroinflammation and repair in experimental multiple sclerosis
(2019-02-25)
La microglía examina el microambiente del sistema nervioso central para detectar señales de lesión o infección, y es esencial para el inicio y resolución de la inflamación inducida por patógenos o daño en los tejidos. ...

Effects of FTY720 on brain neurogenic niches in vitro and after kainic acid-induced injury
(Biomed Central, 2017-07-24)
Background: FTY720 (fingolimod, Gilenya (TM)) is an oral, blood-brain barrier (BBB)-passing drug approved as immunomodulatory treatment for relapsing-remitting form of the multiple sclerosis (MS). In addition, FTY720 exerts ...
Organotypic Cultures as a Model to Study Adult Neurogenesis in CNS Disorders
(Hindawi, 2016)
Neural regeneration resides in certain specific regions of adult CNS. Adult neurogenesis occurs throughout life, especially from the subgranular zone of hippocampus and the subventricular zone, and can be modulated in ...
Possible therapeutic doses of cannabinoid type 1 receptor antagonist reverses key alterations in fragile X syndrome mouse model
(MDPI, 2016-08)
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common monogenetic cause of intellectual disability. The cognitive deficits in the mouse model for this disorder, the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (Fmr1) knockout (KO) mouse, have ...
