Perampanel inhibition of AMPA receptor currents in cultured hippocampal neurons. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Single-Particle Tracking of AMPA Receptor-Containing Vesicles [PDF]

open access: yesBio-Protocol
AMPA-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]

open access: yesCell 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]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

α-Lipoic Acid Derivatives as Allosteric Modulators for Targeting AMPA-Type Glutamate Receptors’ Gating Modules

open access: yesCells, 2022
The ionotropic glutamate receptor subtype α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) is responsible for most excitatory transmission in the brain.

Auxiliary Subunits Regulate the Dendritic Turnover of AMPA Receptors in Mouse Hippocampal Neurons

open access: yesFrontiers 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?

open access: yesNeurobiology 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

open access: yesCell 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-

The Impact of Glutamatergic Synapse Dysfunction in the Corticothalamocortical Network on Absence Seizure Generation

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is the most common pediatric epilepsy affecting 10–18% of all children with epilepsy. It is genetic in origin and the result of dysfunction within the corticothalamocortical (CTC) circuitry.

Interaction of GABA and Excitatory Amino Acids in the Basolateral Amygdala: Role in Cardiovascular Regulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Activation of the amygdala in rats produces cardiovascular changes that include increases in heart rate and arterial pressure as well as behavioral changes characteristic of emotional arousal.
