Highly reactive oxygen species: detection, formation, and possible functions
Wolfhardt Freinbichler,Maria Alessandra Colivicchi,Chiara Stefanini,Loria Bianchi,Chiara Ballini,Bashkim Misini,Peter Weinberger,Wolfgang Linert,Damir Varešlija,Keith F. Tipton,Laura Della Corte +10 more
TL;DR: This review outlines the processes by which hROS may be formed, their damaging potential, and the evidence that they might have signaling functions and particular attention is given to procedures for hR OS detection and quantitation and their applicability to in vivo studies.

Investigation on acetylcholine, aspartate, glutamate and GABA extracellular levels from ventral hippocampus during repeated exploratory activity in the rat.
Loria Bianchi,Chiara Ballini,Maria Alessandra Colivicchi,L. Della Corte,Maria Grazia Giovannini,Giancarlo Pepeu +5 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, exploratory activity is associated with or depends on the activation of neuronal systems in the ventral hippocampus releasing aspartate, glutamate, GABA, and ACh, and the activation is dampened by habituation.

Validation of a robust and sensitive method for detecting hydroxyl radical formation together with evoked neurotransmitter release in brain microdialysis
Wolfhardt Freinbichler,Maria Alessandra Colivicchi,Manuela Fattori,Chiara Ballini,Keith F. Tipton,Wolfgang Linert,Laura Della Corte +6 more
TL;DR: In vitro results in the Fenton system (Fe2+ +‰H2O2) indicate a mechanism whereby TA2− forms a primary complex with Fe2+ followed by an intramolecular hydroxylation accompanied by intramolescular electron transfer.

Extracellular levels of brain aspartate, glutamate and GABA during an inhibitory avoidance response in the rat
Chiara Ballini,Laura Della Corte,Marta Pazzagli,Maria Alessandra Colivicchi,Giancarlo Pepeu,Keith F. Tipton,Maria Grazia Giovannini +6 more
TL;DR: A differential release of aspartate and glutamate from excitatory neurons during the performance of behavioral responses is indicated, and therefore, distinct roles for the twoexcitatory amino acids should be envisaged.

Stimulation by neurotensin of dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) release from rat prefrontal cortex: possible role of NTR1 receptors in neuropsychiatric disorders.
Polina Petkova-Kirova,Angelina Rakovska,Galina Zaekova,Chiara Ballini,Laura Della Corte,R. Radomirov,Anikó Vágvölgyi +6 more
TL;DR: In vivo neurochemical results indicate, for the first time, that neurotensin is able to regulate cortical dopaminergic and serotonergic neuronal activity in freely moving rats.
