GABA as a rising gliotransmitter
Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter that is known to be synthesized and released from GABAergic neurons in the brain. However, recent studies have shown that not only neurons but also astrocytes contain a considerable amount of GABA that can be released and activate GABA receptors in neighboring neurons. These exciting new findings for glial GABA raise furth...
متن کاملHealth Improvements for a Healthy Shanghai Rising; Comment on “Shanghai Rising: Health Improvements as Measured by Avoidable Mortality since 2000”
The commentator suggests that it is necessary to extend the classical connotation of global city which focuses much on the functions of controlling global capital and production. Global city should also include the dimensions of the leading role and capacity on health improvements and well-being promotion. The commentator agrees with authors’ assessments about Shanghai’s substantial progress o...
متن کاملD-serine as a gliotransmitter and its roles in brain development and disease
The development of new techniques to study glial cells has revealed that they are active participants in the development of functional neuronal circuits. Calcium imaging studies demonstrate that glial cells actively sense and respond to neuronal activity. Glial cells can produce and release neurotransmitter-like molecules, referred to as gliotransmitters, that can in turn influence the activity...
متن کاملNeuronal activity determines distinct gliotransmitter release from a single astrocyte
Accumulating evidence indicates that astrocytes are actively involved in brain function by regulating synaptic activity and plasticity. Different gliotransmitters, such as glutamate, ATP, GABA or D-serine, released form astrocytes have been shown to induce different forms of synaptic regulation. However, whether a single astrocyte may release different gliotransmitters is unknown. Here we show ...
متن کاملSynthesis and docking study on thiadiazolo[3,2-a][1,3]diazepin-8(5H)-one derivatives as selective GABA(A) agonists
HIE-124 is a new member of ultra-short acting hypnotics’ drug family. In this research, the synthesis ofanalogues of HIE-124 drug in the heterocyclic thiazole ring replaced to thiadiazole, will be presented.Thiadiazolodiazepines during a two-step reaction starting from the amino thiadiazole resultedfrom-various derivatives of benzoic acid and thiosemicarbazide were synthesized. In the first ste...
