Background: The cerebellum principally the motor organ is involved in the regulation of muscular tone and skilled motor movements. The cerebellar histology consists of three layers and the middle is the Purkinje cell layer which consists of pyramidal shaped purkinje cells. Clinical research shows scanty literature on the beneficial effects of Methylcobalamin on Purkinje cells layer. Aim: Our aim was to bring to light the need for prescribing Methylcobalamin in the masses and patient suffering from motor incoordination. Method: 15 animals were given Methylcobalamin and the changes in the thickness of Purkinje cell layer ware recorded at twelve weeks Result: The morphometric analysis showed restored thickness of Purkinje cell layer Conclusion: The recorded data of the regenerated purinje cell layer thickness proved that the use of Methylcobalamin is mandatory as protective drug in damaged neuronal tissue. Key words: Proliferative, Cytostatic, Purkine cell layer

Astrocytes may express ionotropic glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, which allow them to sense and to respond to neuronal activity. However, so far the properties of astrocytes have been studied only in a few brain regions. Here, we provide the first detailed receptor analysis of astrocytes in the murine ventrobasal thalamus and compare the properties with those in other regions. To improve voltage-clamp control and avoid indirect effects during drug applications, freshly isolated astrocytes were employed. Two sub-populations of astrocytes were found, expressing or lacking α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors. AMPA receptor-bearing astrocytes displayed a lower Kir current density than cells lacking the receptors. In contrast, all cells expressed GABA A receptors. Single-cell RT-PCR was employed to identify the receptor subunits in thalamic astrocytes. Our findings add to the emerging evidence of functional heterogeneity of astrocytes, the impact of which still remains to be defined.

: Depression, a well know mental disorder has global prevalence, nearly affecting 17% of population. Due to various limitations of the currently available drugs, people have been adopting traditional herbal medicines to alleviate the symptoms of depression. It is notable to mention that natural products, their derivatives, and their analogs are the main source for new drug candidates in depression. The mechanisms include interplay with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, serotonergic, dopaminergic noradrenergic systems, and elevation of BDNF levels. The focus of this review is to revisit the role of signalling molecules in depression and highlight the use of plant-derived natural compounds to counter depression in the CNS.
