Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are involved in a familial form of frontal lobe epilepsy, autosomal dominant nocturnal epilepsy (ADNFLE). In several ADNFLE families, mutations were identified the nAChR α4 or β2 subunit, which together compose main cerebral nAChR. Electrophysiological assessment using vitro expression systems indicated gain function mutant receptors. However precise mechanisms by they contribute to pathogenesis focal remain obscure, especially since α4β2 nAChRs...

Abstract Notwithstanding potential neurotoxicity of inhaled titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs), the toxicokinetics and consequences on blood-brain barrier (BBB) function remain poorly characterized. To improve risk assessment, we need to evaluate impact BBB under realistic environmental conditions take into account vulnerability status such as age. 12–13 week 19-month-old male rats were exposed by inhalation 10 mg/m 3 TiO nano-aerosol (6 hrs/day, 5 day/week, for 4 weeks). We showed...
In this preclinical pilot study, we used [11C]UCB-J PET imaging to monitor the synaptic modulation in depression and after fluoxetine. was performed a validated mouse model of depression/anxiety (CORT model), effect 5-week treatment with fluoxetine tested.

<h3>Abstract</h3> Time implicitly shapes cognition, but time is also explicitly represented, for instance in the form of durations. Parsimoniously, brain could use same mechanisms implicit and explicit timing. Yet, evidence has been equivocal, revealing both joint versus separate signatures Here, we directly compared timing using magnetoencephalography, whose temporal resolution allows investigating different stages processes. Implicit predictability was induced an auditory paradigm by a...

Only partial deficiency/inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1) function at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is likely to occur in pathophysiological situations or drug-drug interactions.
