Altered metabolism can help control seizures by changing brain signaling and energy use, suggesting new treatments for epilepsy.
research Endocrinology, Brain, and Pituitary Gland
Hormones control reproduction and are crucial for body balance.
research Hormones and Absence Epilepsy☆
Stress and hormones like progesterone can affect absence seizures, but their effects change with different life stages.
research Progesterone Promotes Anti-Anxiety/Depressant-like Behavior and Trophic Actions of BDNF in the Hippocampus of Female Nuclear Progesterone Receptor, but Not 5α-Reductase, Knockout Mice
Progesterone reduces anxiety and depression in female mice by increasing BDNF in the brain, needing 5α-reduction and estradiol.
research Androgen Affects the Inhibitory Avoidance Memory by Primarily Acting on Androgen Receptor in the Brain in Adolescent Male Rats
Androgens improve memory in adolescent male rats by acting on brain receptors.
research Ethanol-induced GABAA receptor alpha4 subunit plasticity involves phosphorylation and neuroactive steroids
Chronic ethanol increases certain brain receptor levels, influenced by steroids and protein changes.
research Activation of extrasynaptic δ-GABAA receptors globally or within the posterior-VTA has estrous-dependent effects on consumption of alcohol and estrous-independent effects on locomotion
δ-GABAA receptors affect alcohol consumption based on the estrous cycle and influence movement regardless of the cycle.
research eLife assessment: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve connection to touch receptors in certain skin areas of mice.
research Author Response: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
The transcription factor Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve development in touch receptors.
research Pubertal hormones increase hippocampal expression of α4βδ GABAA receptors
Hormones during puberty increase certain receptors in the brain, and this change is influenced by estrogen levels.
research The neurosteroidogenic enzyme 5α-reductase modulates the role of D1 dopamine receptors in rat sensorimotor gating
5α-reductase affects dopamine receptors linked to sensorimotor gating, which may help understand disorders like schizophrenia.
research The atypical ‘hippocampal’ glutamate receptor coupled to phospholipase D that controls stretch‐sensitivity in primary mechanosensory nerve endings is homomeric purely metabotropic GluK2
A special receptor in sensory nerve endings helps control how they respond to stretching.
research Cinnamic acid promotes elongation of hair peg-like sprouting in hair follicle organoids via oxytocin receptor activation
Cinnamic acid may help hair grow by activating oxytocin receptors.
research Attention to Innate Circadian Rhythm and the Impact of Its Disruption on Diabetes
Disrupting natural body clocks increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
