Hyperactive somatostatin interneurons contribute to excitotoxicity in neurodegenerative disorders.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are overlapping neurodegenerative disorders whose pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Using TDP-43(A315T) mice, an ALS and FTD model with marked cortical pathology, we found that …

Reduced potassium-chloride co-transporter expression in spinal cord dorsal horn neurons contributes to inflammatory pain hypersensitivity in rats.

Cation chloride co-transporters are important determinants for the efficacy of inhibitory neurotransmission in the spinal cord and alterations in their expression levels contribute to allodynia and hyperalgesia associated with neuropathy. However, it …
