It is well established that glutamate exerts its effects through three main ionotropic receptors—N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA), and kainate receptors—to maintain synaptic balance and drive neurotransmission [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;]. NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are particularly notable for their high permeability to Ca&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;/sup&gt; ions, a property that, when combined with intracellular calcium overload, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, can trigger excitotoxicity mechanisms [&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dysfunctions in the glutamatergic system have long been investigated in relation to neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in the context of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Analyses of spinal cord and cortical tissues from ALS patients have revealed significant reductions in the function of glutamate transporter proteins [&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;]. Similarly, postmortem studies have reported impairments in glutamate metabolism. Moreover, mutations associated with ALS, such as SOD1, C9ORF72, TARDBP, and FUS, have been shown to have a direct connection to dysregulation within the glutamatergic system [&lt;span&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Xenon (Xe), which has been used as a safe anesthetic agent since the mid-20th century, has also garnered attention for its neuroprotective properties over the past two decades. The first study demonstrating Xenon's neuroprotective effects was published in 2003, using rat models of ischemic brain injury [&lt;span&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;]. Subsequent research has shown that Xenon preserves neurocognitive functions and reduces neuronal loss in conditions such as focal ischemia and perinatal hypoxic–ischemic injury [&lt;span&gt;6, 7&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the key mechanisms underlying Xenon's anesthetic and neuroprotective effects is its antagonistic action on NMDA receptors [&lt;span&gt;8&lt;/span&gt;]. NMDA receptor inhibition may serve as a protective mechanism against glutamate excitotoxicity in diseases such as ALS. Xenon's ability to easily cross the blood–brain barrier and rapidly enter and exit brain cells makes it pharmacologically advantageous [&lt;span&gt;9&lt;/span&gt;]. In addition to NMDA antagonism, it has also been reported to inhibit AMPA and kainate receptors; however, the significance of these effects in the context of ALS remains unclear [&lt;span&gt;9&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Xenon's potential neuroprotective effects in ALS are not limited to NMDA receptor antagonism. There is evidence suggesting that it may also influence key pathophysiological mechanisms of ALS, including apoptotic cell death, oxidative stress, and microglial dysfunction [&lt;span&gt;10&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Given all these findings, it is evident that Xenon should be investigated as a potential therapeutic agent for ALS.

To facilitate comprehensive and systematic studies in this filed, we have developed the &lt;i&gt;Neurological Disease Animal Model Database&lt;/i&gt; (ND-AMD), accessible at https://www.uc-med.net/NDAMD. This database is signed around the central theme of “Big Data - Neurological Diseases - Animal Models - Mechanism Research,” integrating large-scale, multi-dimensional, and multi-scale data to facilitate in-depth analyses. ND-AMD serves as a resource for panoramic studies, enabling comparative and mechanistic research across diverse experimental conditions, species, and disease models.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Method&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;Data were systematically retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, and other relevant databases using Boolean search strategies with standardized MeSH terms and keywords. The collected data were curated and integrated into a structured SQL-based framework, ensuring consistency through automated validation checks and manual verification. Heterogeneity and sensitivity analyses were conducted using Cochran's Q test and the &lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; statistic to assess variability across studies. Statistical workflows were implemented in Python (SciPy, Pandas, NumPy) to support multi-scale data integration, trend analysis, and model validation. Additionally, a text co-occurrence network analysis was performed using Natural Language Processing (TF-IDF and word embeddings) to identify key conceptual linkages and semantic structures across studies.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Results&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;ND-AMD integrates data from 483 animal models of neurological diseases, covering eight disease categories, 21 specific diseases, 13 species, and 152 strains. The database provides a comprehensive repository of experimental and phenotypic data, covering behavioral, physiological, biochemical, molecular pathology, immunological, and imaging characteristics. Additionally, it incorporates application-oriented data, such as drug evaluation outcomes. To enhance data accessibility and facilitate in-depth analysis, ND-AMD features three custom-developed online tools: &lt;i&gt;Model Frequency Analysis, Comparative Phenotypic Analysis, and Bibliometric Analysis,&lt;/i&gt; enabling systematic comparison and trend identification across models and experimental conditions.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;The centrali","PeriodicalId":154,"journal":{"name":"CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics","volume":"31 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cns.70411","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143926162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pathologically, the loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons triggered by the deposition of α-synuclein (SNCA) leads to the decrease in dopamine levels affecting motor and cognitive functions of the brain. Current pharmacotherapy for PD only addresses its symptoms but is not able to halt its progression. Traditional medicines are being increasingly used for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Aim</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The present study investigated the effects of Neurogrit Gold (NG), a herbo-mineral prescription medicine, on a Parkinson's model of <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Chemical characterization of NG was performed on HPLC and GC–MS/MS platforms.

The worms treated with NG were able to resist the deleterious effects of 6-OHDA on survival, progeny development, body bends, and chemotaxis in N2 and DA neuron degeneration in BZ555 worms. In NL5901 worms, NG treatment reduced SNCA aggregation, restored lipid content, as well as improved body bends, chemotaxis, and food uptake. Gene expression studies on 6-OHDA exposed and NG-treated N2 worms suggest that the neuroprotective effects of NG stem from its ability to regulate genes involved in mitochondrial autophagy (<i>pink-1</i>, <i>pdr-1</i>); dopamine synthesis (<i>cat-2</i>); redox (<i>sod-3</i>) and protein folding homeostasis (<i>hsf-1</i>, <i>hsp-12.3</i>).</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Neurogrit Gold has robust neuroprotective effects, making it a suitable treatment option against etiologies of Parkinson's disease.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":154,"journal":{"name":"CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics","volume":"31 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cns.70401","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
