Memantine suppresses the glutamatergic neurotransmission of mammalian inner hair cells.
The glutamatergic synapses between inner hair cells and afferent neurons seem to be involved in pathophysiological conditions of the cochlea. The excessive release of glutamate from inner hair cells during noise trauma and ischemia affects the afferent neurons. It is possible that in tinnitus outer hair cell or inner hair cell dysfunction or damage leads to an altered spontaneous release of glu...
متن کاملGlutamatergic neurotransmission in Alzheimer's disease.
The studies described here provide convincing evidence of glutamatergic deafferentation in Alzheimer's disease. This deafferentation is presumed to represent the biochemical correlate of pyramidal neuron dysfunction in the disorder. In addition, there is a growing consensus of opinion that there is no widespread depletion of glutamate NMDA receptors in Alzheimer's disease. The significance of g...
متن کامل[Glutamatergic neurotransmission as molecular target in anxiety].
Glutamate (GLU) is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain. GLU receptors are classified as ionotropic (iGLUR) or metabotropic (mGLUR). The GLU interference with neural development, synaptic plasticity, learning and memory, epilepsy, neural ischemia, drug addiction, tolerance, neuropathic pain, anxiety and depression, has limited the use of compounds acting on GLU synapses, ...
متن کاملGlutamatergic neurotransmission in aging: a critical perspective.
The effects of aging on glutamate neurotransmission in the brain is reviewed and evaluated. Glutamate is the neurotransmitter in most of the excitatory synapses and appears to be involved in functions such as motor behaviour, cognition and emotion, which alter with age. However, relatively few studies have been conducted to study the relationship between glutamate and aging of the brain. The st...
متن کاملAutoimmune Inner Ear Disease- A Clinical Viewpoint
Recent developments in medicine have given us a better insight into a group of disorders known as autoimmune diseases. In particular, advances have occurred in our understanding of the Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease (AIED). In this article, the authors review the different postulated theories in the pathogenesis of this disease. The clinical presentation, the available para-clinical diagnostic to...
