The relation between changes in brain and plasma concentrations of neurosteroids and the
function and structure of γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA A ) receptors in the brain during …

Vagus nerve stimulation therapy, effective for treatment-resistant epilepsy, has recently been
approved also for treatment-resistant depression; nevertheless, the molecular mechanism(s…

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is used to treat pharmacotherapy-resistant epilepsy and
depression. However, the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic efficacy of VNS remain unclear…

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of long noncoding RNAs that are characterized by the
presence of covalently linked ends and have been found in all life kingdoms. Exciting …

The effects of oral contraceptives (OCs) on neurosteroid concentrations were evaluated in
female rats and women. In rats, ethynylestradiol and levonorgestrel (0.030 and 0.125 mg, …

Previous studies have implicated the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) complex in the
physical dependence and withdrawal effects of chronic ethanol administration. In this study…

The effect of long‐term treatment with ethanol was investigated on the function of γ‐aminobutyric
acid A (GABA A ) and N‐methyl‐d‐as‐partic acid (NMDA) receptors. Rats were …

Changes in the expression of subunits of the GABA type A (GABA A ) receptor are implicated
in the development of ethanol tolerance and dependence as well as in the central …

Evidence has accumulated to suggest that the NMDA glutamate receptor subtype plays an
important role in neuronal degeneration evoked by hypoxia, ischemia, or trauma. Cerebellar …

Our previous work has shown that chronic ethanol treatment upregulated NMDA receptor
function and binding in mammalian cortical neurons. However, the potential molecular …
