Altered Excitatory and Inhrbitory Ammo

چکیده
We examined binding to excitatory amino acid and inhibitory amino acid receptors in frozen hippocampal sections prepared from surgical specimens resected from 8 individuals with medically refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. The excitatory receptors studied included N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), strychnine-insensitive glycine, phencyclidine, and quisqualate. The inhibitory receptors studied were gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA,) and benzodiazepine. Excitatory and inhibitory amino acid receptor binding were differentially altered in the patients with temporal lobe epilepsy in comparison to 8 age-comparable autopsy control subjects, and changes in receptor binding were regionally selective in four areas. Binding to phencyclidine receptors associated with the NMDA channel was reduced by 35 to 70% in all regions in the hippocampi of the patients. In contrast, binding to the NMDA recognition site and its associated glycine modulatory site was elevated by 20 to 110% in the cornu ammonis (CA) 1 area and dentate gyrus of the hippocampus of the patients. Binding to these sites was unaffected in area CA4. Binding to the quisqualate-type excitatory amino acid receptor was unchanged in all regions except the stratum lacunosum moleculare CA1, where it was increased by 63%. GABA, and benzodiazepine receptor binding was reduced by 20 to 60% in CA1 and CA4, but unchanged in dentate gyrus. The data indicate that excitatory and inhibitory amino acid receptors are altered in the hippocampus of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.

Maximum mouth opening. Associated factors and dental significance.
OBJECTIVE To estimate active maximum mouth opening (AMMO) in a Jordanian subpopulation and to study associated factors and relationship to patient's dental conditions. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted on 496 patients aged 15-80 years at the University of Jordan Hospital, Amman, Jordan between October 2008 and March 2009. The AMMO was measured as maximum distance between incisa...

متن کاملA neural mass model of CA1-CA3 neural network and studying sharp wave ripples
We spend one third of our life in sleep. The interesting point about the sleep is that the neurons are not quiescent during sleeping and they show synchronous oscillations at different regions. Especially sharp wave ripples are observed in the hippocampus. Here, we propose a simple phenomenological neural mass model for the CA1-CA3 network of the hippocampus considering the spike frequency adap...

Approximation/model management optimization (AMMO) is a rigorous methodology for attaining solutions of highdelity optimization problems with minimal expense in highdelity function and derivative evaluation. First-order AMMO frameworks allow for a wide variety of models and underlying optimization algorithms. Recent demonstrations with aerodynamic optimization achieved three-fold savings in ter...
متن کاملDifferential effect of whisker trimming on excitatory and inhibitory transmission in primary somatosensory cortex of the adult rat in vivo.
The effects of sensory deprivation on excitatory and inhibitory activity in the primary somatosensory cortex were studied in the adult rat. Excitatory and inhibitory transmission generated by whisker stimulation, and neuronal responsiveness to iontophoretically applied excitatory amino acids were recorded. Whisker input deprivation, through whisker trimming for a median of 24 days, resulted in ...
