Using C. elegans to Decipher the Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Neurodevelopmental disorders such as epilepsy, intellectual disability (ID), and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) occur in over 2 % of the...

Developmental regulation of glycine receptors at efferent synapses of the murine cochlea
Efferent olivocochlear feedback innervation modulates the stream of auditory information from cochlea to brainstem by regulating auditory nerve...

Genome-wide gene expression profiling of the Angelman syndrome mice with Ube3a mutation
Angelman syndrome (AS) is a human neurological disorder caused by lack of maternal UBE3A expression in the brain. UBE3A is known to function as both...

Modulation of gene expression in endothelial cells by hyperlipaemic postprandial serum from healthy volunteers
A single high-fat challenge induces plasmatic pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidative responses in the postprandial state, even in healthy men. This...

Inhibitory Glycine Receptors
The glycine receptor (GlyR) is a major inhibitory ligand-gated ion channel in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) that controls both motor... -
Expression of glycine receptors and gephyrin in the rat cochlea
The cochlear efferent feedback system exerts direct impact on cochlear nerve activity and balances interaural sensitivity. So far, acetylcholine,...

Genome scans and gene expression microarrays converge to identify gene regulatory loci relevant in schizophrenia
Multiple linkage regions have been reported in schizophrenia, and some appear to harbor susceptibility genes that are differentially expressed in...

RNA editing produces glycine receptor α3P185L, resulting in high agonist potency
The function of supramedullary glycine receptors (GlyRs) is still unclear. Using Wistar rat collicular slices, we demonstrate GlyR-mediated...

A case of autism with an interstitial deletion on 4q leading to hemizygosity for genes encoding for glutamine and glycine neurotransmitter receptor sub-units (AMPA 2, GLRA3, GLRB) and neuropeptide receptors NPY1R, NPY5R
BackgroundAutism is a pervasive developmental disorder characterized by a triad of deficits: qualitative impairments in social interactions,...

Consequences of the Evolution of the GABA A Receptor Gene Family
1. This paper reviews the evolution of the family of genes present in mammals and other vertebrates that encode γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A...

Function, Modulation, and Pharmacology of Inhibitory Glycine Receptor Channels
Ion channels of the glycine receptors (GlyR) provide an inhibitory drive in the nervous system of vertebrates. Four agonist-binding α subunits and...

Structures, Diversity and Pharmacology of Glycine Receptors and Transporters
The amino acid glycine is highly concentrated in the ventral and dorsal horns of the spinal cord, in many brain stem nuclei, and in sensory relay... -
Neurotransmitters as early signals for central nervous system development
During brain ontogenesis, the temporal and spatial generation of the different types of neuronal and glial cells from precursors occurs as a...
