Perampanel inhibition of AMPA receptor currents in cultured hippocampal neurons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Perampanel is an aryl substituted 2-pyridone AMPA receptor antagonist that was recently approved as a treatment for epilepsy. The drug potently inhibits AMPA receptor responses but the mode of block has not been characterized.

Auxiliary TARP Subunits Define AMPA Receptor Pharmacology and Function [PDF]
Journal of XenobioticsBackground: Fast excitatory transmission in the central nervous system is carried out by AMPA-type glutamate receptors. Neuronal hyperexcitability and epilepsy have been associated with the dysregulation of AMPA receptor function.

Single-Particle Tracking of AMPA Receptor-Containing Vesicles [PDF]
Bio-ProtocolAMPA-type receptors are transported large distances to support synaptic plasticity at distal dendritic locations. Studying the motion of AMPA receptor+ vesicles can improve our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie learning and memory ...

Stargazin Modulation of AMPA Receptors [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2016 Fast excitatory synaptic signaling in the mammalian brain is mediated by AMPA-type ionotropic glutamate receptors. In neurons, AMPA receptors co-assemble with auxiliary proteins, such as stargazin, which can markedly alter receptor trafficking and gating.

SynDIG1 promotes excitatory synaptogenesis independent of AMPA receptor trafficking and biophysical regulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 AMPA receptors-mediators of fast, excitatory transmission and synaptic plasticity in the brain-achieve great functional diversity through interaction with different auxiliary subunits, which alter both the trafficking and biophysical properties of these ...

AMPA receptors and their minions: auxiliary proteins in AMPA receptor trafficking [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2019 To correctly transfer information, neuronal networks need to continuously adjust their synaptic strength to extrinsic stimuli. This ability, termed synaptic plasticity, is at the heart of their function and is, thus, tightly regulated. In glutamatergic neurons, synaptic strength is controlled by the number and function of AMPA receptors at the ...

Auxiliary Subunits Regulate the Dendritic Turnover of AMPA Receptors in Mouse Hippocampal Neurons
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021 Different families of auxiliary subunits regulate the function and trafficking of native α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors in the central nervous system. While a facilitatory role of auxiliary subunits in ER export and

Modulating Excitatory Synaptic Neurotransmission: Potential Treatment for Neurological Disease?
Neurobiology of Disease, 1998 Excitatory neurotransmission at many CNS synapses depends upon AMPA-type glutamate receptors. Derangements in AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission may be a contributing factor in neurological and neurodegenerative diseases and could be a target ...

Copine-6 is a Ca2+ sensor for activity-induced AMPA receptor exocytosis
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: The recruitment of synaptic α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptors underlies the strengthening of neuronal connectivity during learning and memory. This process is triggered by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-
