How does adenosine control neuronal dysfunction and neurodegeneration?

RA Cunha - Journal of neurochemistry, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The adenosine modulation system mostly operates through inhibitory A1 (A1R) and
facilitatory A2A receptors (A2AR) in the brain. The activity‐dependent release of adenosine …

Adenosine as a neuromodulator and as a homeostatic regulator in the nervous system: different roles, different sources and different receptors

RA Cunha - Neurochemistry international, 2001 - Elsevier
Adenosine exerts two parallel modulatory roles in the CNS, acting as a homeostatic
modulator and also as a neuromodulator at the synaptic level. We will present evidence to …

Neuroprotection by adenosine in the brain: From A1 receptor activation to A2A receptor blockade

RA Cunha - Purinergic signalling, 2005 - Springer
Adenosine is a neuromodulator that operates via the most abundant inhibitory adenosine A
