Correction to: Comparing the Neuroprotective Effects of Caffeic Acid in Rat Cortical Slices and Caenorhabditis elegans: Involvement of Nrf2 and SKN-1 Signaling Pathways.

One of the authors has incorrect family name spelling in the original article Michael Ashner should read as Michael Aschner.

Comparing the Neuroprotective Effects of Caffeic Acid in Rat Cortical Slices and Caenorhabditis elegans: Involvement of Nrf2 and SKN-1 Signaling Pathways.

Caffeic acid (CA) is a hydroxycinnamic acid derivative and polyphenol with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The neuroprotective properties of CA still need detailed characterization in different biological models. Here, the antioxidant and neuroprotective effects of CA were compared in in vitro and in vivo neurotoxic models.

Anandamide Reduces the Toxic Synergism Exerted by Quinolinic Acid and Glutaric Acid in Rat Brain Neuronal Cells.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) regulates several physiological processes in the Central Nervous System, including the modulation of neuronal excitability via activation of cannabinoid receptors (CBr). Both glutaric acid (GA) and quinolinic acid (QUIN) are endogenous metabolites that, under pathological conditions, recruit common toxic mechanisms. A synergistic effect between them has already been demonstrated, supporting potential implications for glutaric acidemia type I (GA I).

The Pharmacological Inhibition of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase Prevents Excitotoxic Damage in the Rat Striatum: Possible Involvement of CB1 Receptors Regulation.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) actively participates in several physiological processes within the central nervous system. Among such, its involvement in the downregulation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAr) through a modulatory input at the cannabinoid receptors (CBr) has been established. After its production via the kynurenine pathway (KP), quinolinic acid (QUIN) can act as an excitotoxin through the selective overactivation of NMDAr, thus participating in the onset and development of neurological disorders.
