Selective modulation of excitatory and inhibitory microcircuits by dopamine.
Dopamine plays an important role in the working memory functions of the prefrontal cortex, functions that are impacted in age-related memory decline, drug abuse, and a wide variety of disorders, including schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. We have previously reported that dopamine depresses excitatory transmission between pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal cortex. Here, using paired record...
متن کاملNeuropeptide receptor positive allosteric modulation in epilepsy: galanin modulation revealed.
T he therapeutic potential of neuropeptides has long been recognized; some successes have been registered, for example, in the tachykinin, endothelin, somatostatin, angiotensin, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), orexin, or glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) fields (1), primarily in peripheral applications. However, given the nature of receptor–ligand interactions at the orthosteric site of G ...
متن کاملModulation of lymphatic muscle contractility by the neuropeptide substance P.
Substance P (SP) is a neuropeptide associated with sensory innervation of lymphoid tissue and a suspected modulator of lymphatic function in inflammation. Only a few studies have examined the effects of SP on lymphatic contraction, and it is not clear to what extent SP acts directly on the lymphatic muscle and/or endothelium or indirectly through changes in intraluminal filling pressure seconda...
متن کاملModulation of host defense by the neuropeptide alpha-MSH.
alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), a peptide that occurs within the brain, the circulation, and other body sites, is a potent antipyretic agent when given centrally or peripherally. The peptide likewise inhibits inflammation and aspects of the acute-phase response. The combined evidence suggests that alpha-MSH molecules act as natural modulators of host reactions by antagonizing ...
متن کاملMicrocircuits Special Feature Biophysically detailed modelling of microcircuits and beyond
* In this TINS special feature, the term ‘microcircuit’ is used to denote a minimal Realistic bottom-up modelling has been seminal to understanding which properties of microcircuits control their dynamic behaviour, such as the locomotor rhythms generated by central pattern generators. In this article of the TINSMicrocircuits Special Feature, we review recent modelling work on the leech-heartbea...
