Beta-adrenergic - Receptor

While commonly used for heart conditions, beta-blockers have been found to act as proinflammatory agents in the brain, with research in PMC7686098 indicating that they impair microglia-mediated phagocytosis of synaptic material, increasing neuroinflammation.

-ARs exist inside neurons—not just on the surface—where they bind norepinephrine and activate downstream pathways that regulate synaptic strength, such as AMPA receptor phosphorylation. While commonly used for heart conditions, beta-blockers have
