## Abstract The adenosine system has important neuromodulatory and neuroprotective functions in the brain. Several lines of evidence suggest that ageing is associated with major alterations in the adenosine system, which may be partially responsible for changes in sleep, mood, and cognition. In the

Ageing is a multifactorial, inevitable event of life span, which affects neurotransmission in the CNS. Since adenosine is a major neuromodulator of the synaptic activity, it was of interest to investigate the possible modification of the adenosinergic system in the brain during ageing. Using "in vit
Radioligand binding studies in animals have demonstrated age-related loss of dopamine receptors in the caudate and putamen. In humans, while age-related declines in dopamine D2 receptors have been consistently reported, the effects of ageing on D1 receptors have been controversial. We used positron
Behavioral and biochemical studies suggest that a negative interaction exists between adenosine A 1 and dopamine D 1 receptors in the brain and that this may contribute to the psychomotor effects of adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists. We examined the functional significance of A 1 and D 1 r
Acute 17β€-estradiol treatment had been shown to downregulate the 5-HT 1A receptor mRNA expression in limbic areas of the female rat brain. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of chronic 17β€-estradiol treatment on 5-HT 1A receptor mRNA expression and 5-HT 1A receptor binding in
## Abstract Increasing evidence suggests that the chemokine interleukin (IL)β8/CXCL8 plays important roles in CNS development, neuronal survival, modulation of excitability, and neuroimmune response. Recently, we have shown that CXCL8 can acutely modulate ion channel activity in septal neurons expr
