GABAergic dysfunction in pediatric neuro-developmental disorders
نویسنده
چکیده
The GABAergic system is central to the development and functional maturation of the nervous system. Emerging evidence support the role of GABAergic dysfunction in neuro-developmental disorders. This review presents the molecules and mechanisms that underlie GABA system dysfunction in several neuro-developmental disorders presenting in childhood. The impact on synaptic plasticity, neuronal circuit function and behavior, followed by targeted treatment strategies are discussed.

The Effect of Adding Homeopathic Treatment to Rehabilitation on Abnormal Reflexes of Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Objectives: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a static encephalopathy with abnormal reflexes that cause motor developmental delay. In addition to conventional methods, complementary medicine like homeopathy has been used in treatment of neuro-developmental disorders. This study has been done to determine the effect of adding homeopathic treatment to rehabilitation on abnormal reflexes of children with spa...
متن کاملFragile X syndrome: the GABAergic system and circuit dysfunction.
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability, sensory hypersensitivity, and high incidences of autism spectrum disorders and epilepsy. These phenotypes are suggestive of defects in neural circuit development and imbalances in excitatory glutamatergic and inhibitory GABAergic neurotransmission. While alterations in excitatory synapse function...

Introduction: Pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines such as MCP-1 and IL6 can activate microglial cells that has found in some neuro-inflammatory disorders. Hypoxia activates cerebral endothelial cells to release these pro-inflammatory mediators. We aimed to investigate the anti-hypoxic effects of different doses of some GABAergic agents. Materials and Methods: We randomly divid...

متن کاملNeurons on the move: migration and lamination of cortical interneurons.
The modulation of cortical activity by GABAergic interneurons is required for normal brain function and is achieved through the immense level of heterogeneity within this neuronal population. Cortical interneurons share a common origin in the ventral telencephalon, yet during the maturation process diverse subtypes are generated that form the characteristic laminar arrangement observed in the a...
