The adenosine modulation system mostly operates through inhibitory A1 (A1R) and facilitatory A2A receptors (A2AR) in the brain. The activity‐dependent release of adenosine …
The adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) is a promising therapeutic target for non-opioid analgesic agents to treat neuropathic pain,. However, development of analgesic orthosteric A1R …
A common feature of aging is the advance of the timing of sleep to earlier hours, 1–7 often earlier than desired. 8–10 The sleep of older people is also characterized by an increased …

This review is focused on purinergic neurotransmission, ie, ATP released from nerves as a transmitter or cotransmitter to act as an extracellular signaling molecule on both pre-and …
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by amyloid plaques in patients' brain tissue. The plaques are mainly made of β-amyloid peptides and …
Adenosine is involved in a range of physiological and pathological effects through membrane-bound receptors linked to G proteins. There are four subtypes of adenosine …

Purines have key roles in neurotransmission and neuromodulation, with their effects being mediated by the purine and pyrimidine receptor subfamilies, P1, P2X and P2Y. Recently …
Adenosine acts in parallel as a neuromodulator and as a homeostatic modulator in the central nervous system. Its neuromodulatory role relies on a balanced activation of inhibitory …
