GABA tonic currents and glial cells are altered during epileptogenesis in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome.

Dravet Syndrome (DS) is a rare autosomic encephalopathy with epilepsy linked to Na1.1 channel mutations and defective GABAergic signaling. Effective therapies for this syndrome are lacking, urging a better comprehension of the mechanisms involved.

Altered Cl homeostasis hinders forebrain GABAergic interneuron migration in a mouse model of intellectual disability.

Impairments of inhibitory circuits are at the basis of most, if not all, cognitive deficits. The impact of OPHN1, a gene associate with intellectual disability (ID), on inhibitory neurons remains elusive. We addressed this issue by analyzing the postnatal migration of inhibitory interneurons derived from the subventricular zone in a validated mouse model of ID (OPHN1 mice).

L-alpha-aminoadipic acid restricts dopaminergic neurodegeneration and motor deficits in an inflammatory model of Parkinson's disease in male rats.

Neuroinflammation is a contributory factor underlying the progressive nature of dopaminergic neuronal loss within the substantia nigra (SN) of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, albeit the role of astrocytes in this process has been relatively unexplored to date. Here, we aimed to investigate the impact of midbrain astrocytic dysfunction in the pathophysiology of intra-nigral lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced experimental Parkinsonism in male Wistar rats via simultaneous co-injection of the astrocytic toxin L-alpha-aminoadipic acid (L-AAA). Simultaneous intra-nigral injection of L-AAA attenuated the LPS-induced loss of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive (TH ) dopamine neurons in the SNpc and suppressed the affiliated degeneration of TH dopaminergic nerve terminals in the striatum.
