CX516 (BDP-12) and CX546, two first-generation benzamide-type AMPA receptor modulators,
were compared with regard to their influence on AMPA receptor-mediated currents, …

Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) encoded by the MECP2 gene is a transcriptional
regulator whose mutations cause Rett syndrome (RTT). Mecp2-deficient mice show fear …

Metastin is an antimetastatic peptide encoded by the KiSS-1 gene in cancer cells. Recent
studies found that metastin is a ligand for the orphan G-protein–coupled receptor GPR54, …

In this study we examined the neuronal responses of single units to different sound durations
in the inferior colliculus (IC) of the mouse. One hundred and one recorded units were …

Earlier studies showed that positive modulators of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic
acid (AMPA) receptors enhance synaptic responses and facilitate synaptic plasticity…

In the present study, we investigated the effects of psychostimulant exposure on κ-opioid
peptide (KOP) receptor signaling in the rat mesolimbic system. A single subcutaneous (sc) …

Substance P (SP) and its receptors are involved in anxiety‐related behaviours and regulate
the intake of drugs of abuse and alcohol. Within the midbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA), a …

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) occurs with high frequency in Asian populations,
especially among people of Cantonese ancestry. In areas with high incidence, NPC clusters in …

Alkyl-substituted benzothiadiazides (BTDs) were tested for their effects on (R,S)-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic
acid (AMPA)-type glutamate receptors. In excised …

Intense motor neuron activity induces a long‐term facilitation (LTF) of synaptic transmission
at crayfish neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) that is accompanied by an increase in the …
