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.

Regulation of AMPA receptors in spinal nociception [PDF]
Molecular Pain, 2010 The functional properties of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methy-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA) receptors in different brain regions, such as hippocampus and cerebellum, have been well studied in vitro and in vivo. The AMPA receptors present a unique characteristic

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.

AMPA receptor subunit expression in the endoplasmic reticulum in frontal cortex of elderly patients with schizophrenia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Several lines of evidence indicate altered trafficking of α-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate (AMPA) receptors in schizophrenia. Previous reports have shown potential changes in the trafficking of AMPA receptors based on subunit expression

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.

Glycine Potentiates AMPA Receptor Function through Metabotropic Activation of GluN2A-containing NMDA Receptors [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2016 NMDA receptors are Ca2+-permeable ion channels. The activation of NMDA receptors requires agonist glutamate and co-agonist glycine. Recent evidence indicates that NMDA receptor also has metabotropic function.

Ligand-dependent opening of the multiple AMPA receptor conductance states: a concerted model [PDF]
, 2014 Modulation of the properties of AMPA receptors at the post-synaptic membrane is one of the main suggested mechanisms behind synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system of vertebrates. Electrophysiological recordings of single channels stimulated with agonists showed that both recombinant and native AMPA receptors visit multiple conductance states

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 ...

Membrane lipid rafts are required for AMPA receptor tyrosine phosphorylation [PDF]
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2022 Membrane lipid rafts are sphingolipids and cholesterol-enriched membrane microdomains, which form a center for the interaction or assembly of palmitoylated signaling molecules, including Src family non-receptor type protein tyrosine kinases.

Residence times of receptors in dendritic spines analyzed by simulations in empirical domains [PDF]
, 2014 Analysis of high-density superresolution imaging of receptors reveal the organization of dendrites at the nano-scale resolution. We present here simulations in empirical live cell images, which allows converting local information extracted from short range trajectories into simulations of long range trajectories.
