Journal ArticleDOI

Reinforcing and locomotor stimulant effects of cocaine are absent in mGluR5 null mutant mice.

TL;DR: It is shown that mice lacking the mGluR5 gene do not self-administer cocaine, and show no increased locomotor activity following cocaine treatment, despite showing cocaine-induced increases in nucleus accumbens (NAcc) dopamine (DA) levels similar to wild-type mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurokinin 1 receptor and relative abundance of the short and long isoforms in the human brain.

TL;DR: The anatomical evidence that the NK1 receptors have a strong association with neuronal systems relevant to mood regulation and stress in the human brain is provided, but do not suggest a region‐specific role of the two isoforms in the CNS.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Use of Knock-Out Mice Unravels Distinct Roles for mGlu2 and mGlu3 Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors in Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration/Neuroprotection

TL;DR: It is concluded that neuroprotection bymGlu2/3 receptor agonists requires the activation of astrocytic mGlu3 receptors, whereas, unexpectedly, activation of mGLU2 receptors might be harmful to neurons exposed to toxic insults.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Ca(V)3.3 calcium channel is the major sleep spindle pacemaker in thalamus.

TL;DR: A central role is identified for CaV3.3 channels in the rhythmogenic properties of the sleep-spindle generator and a molecular target is provided to elucidate the roles of sleep spindles for brain function and development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 by metabotropic glutamate receptors.

TL;DR: Findings raise the possibility of a MAPK cascade involvement in glutamate‐dependent neuronal plasticity mediated through stimulation of mGluRs in the control of cellular responses to changes in the external environment.
