Effect of Intranasal Delivery of Carbon Dioxide on Trigeminal Ganglion Neurons: Inhibition of Neuron-Glia Gap Junction Communication and Neuropeptide Secretion
… of trigeminal nerves, release of CGRP, and neuron-glia interactions through gap junctions in trigeminal ganglion are implicated in the pathology of migraine and allergic rhinosinusitis. The goal of this study was to determine whether administration of 100% CO2 to the nasal mucosa of rats …

Brain Lipid Homeostasis as a Primary Function of Sleep: Insights from Drosophila melanogaster
… sleep is observed in animals with neurons; developmentally, in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, sleep behavior is first detected during the same larval stage as neuron-glia interactions that support neurogenesis. Glial are central to brain integration of neuronal activity, …

Mechanisms underlying neural circuit remodeling in Toxoplasma gondii infection
… role of the complement system in mediating microglial remodeling of neural circuits following parasitic infection. While there has been keen interest in investigating neural circuit changes in the amygdala – a region of the brain involved in fear response and which Toxoplasma infection alters in …

Touching Autism Spectrum Disorder: Somatosensory Abnormalities in Shank3b and Cntnap2 Mouse Models
… protein of the neurexin superfamily involved in neuron-glia interactions and clustering of potassium channels in myelinated axons. Missense mutation in CNTNAP2 is causative of cortical dysplasia-focal epilepsy syndrome (CDFE), a rare disorder characterized by epileptic seizures, language …

Studying Microglia-Mediated Neurodegeneration Using Cocultures
Microglia are resident innate immune cells of the central nervous system with potent phagocytic and inflammatory capabilities. These cells are crucial in both health and disease, including neurodegenerative diseases. Genetics studies have linked Alzheimer’s disease and other diseases to genes that …

Identification of Connexins in Facilitating Neuron-Satellite Glial Cell Signaling in Trigeminal Ganglia
… stimulus causes increased communication between neurons and surrounding satellite glial cells via gap junctions in the trigeminal ganglion (TG). The goal of this study was to identify the gap junction proteins, or connexins (Cxs), in the ganglion in response to three different models of …
