Nitrergic, glutamatergic and gabaergic systems in lithium toxicity

Spinal muscarinic, glutamatergic and GABAergic receptor systems in cardiovascular regulation.

The central administration of cholinergic agonists can produce a significant increase in arterial blood pressure by enhancing sympathetic vasomotor tone. The stimulation of spinal muscarinic receptors through intrathecal (i.t.) injection of carbachol in rats evoked a significant pressor response that returned to preinjection levels within 30 to 40 min. We investigated the roles of glutamatergic...

Neuroimaging markers of glutamatergic and GABAergic systems in drug addiction: Relationships to resting-state functional connectivity.

Drug addiction is characterized by widespread abnormalities in brain function and neurochemistry, including drug-associated effects on concentrations of the excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), respectively. In healthy individuals, these neurotransmitters drive the resting state, a default condition of brain function also disrupted in addicti...

GABAergic and glutamatergic identities of developing midbrain Pitx2 neurons.

Pitx2, a paired-like homeodomain transcription factor, is expressed in post-mitotic neurons within highly restricted domains of the embryonic mouse brain. Previous reports identified critical roles for PITX2 in histogenesis of the hypothalamus and midbrain, but the cellular identities of PITX2-positive neurons in these regions were not fully explored. This study characterizes Pitx2 expression w...
