From neurotoxicity to neuroprotection: Rethinking GABAR-targeting anesthetics.

Cell biology and toxicology
The brain growth spurt (BGS) represents a pivotal window in neurodevelopment, defined by rapid neurogenesis, heightened synaptogenesis, and the dynamic establishment of neural networks. During this phase, heightened brain plasticity significantly enh...

Network models incorporating chloride dynamics predict optimal strategies for terminating status epilepticus.

Neurobiology of disease
Status epilepticus (SE), seizures lasting beyond five minutes, is a medical emergency commonly treated with benzodiazepines which enhance GABA receptor (GABAR) conductance. Despite widespread use, benzodiazepines fail in over one-third of patients, p...

Application of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Preliminary Study with Artificial Neural Networks.

Journal of molecular neuroscience : MN
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) includes different neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by deficits in social communication, and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests or activities. Based on the importance of early diagnosis for...

In Silico Prediction of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Type-A Receptors Using Novel Machine-Learning-Based SVM and GBDT Approaches.

BioMed research international
Gamma-aminobutyric acid type-A receptors (GABAARs) belong to multisubunit membrane spanning ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) which act as the principal mediators of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain. Therefore, the category p...

γ-Aminobutyric Acid Type A Receptor Potentiation Inhibits Learning in a Computational Network Model.

Anesthesiology
BACKGROUND: Propofol produces memory impairment at concentrations well below those abolishing consciousness. Episodic memory, mediated by the hippocampus, is most sensitive. Two potentially overlapping scenarios may explain how γ-aminobutyric acid re...
