AMPA Receptors Bring On the Pain [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 2004
The role of Ca(2+)-permeable AMPA receptors in pain processing has not been extensively studied. In this issue of Neuron, Hartmann et al. show that altering the levels of these receptors has consequences for inflammatory pain hypersensitivity but not acute pain processing.

AMPA Receptors: A Key Piece in the Puzzle of Memory Retrieval

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
Retrieval constitutes a highly regulated and dynamic phase in memory processing. Its rapid temporal scales require a coordinated molecular chain of events at the synaptic level that support transient memory trace reactivation.

mGluR5 antagonism inhibits cocaine reinforcement and relapse by elevation of extracellular glutamate in the nucleus accumbens via a CB1 receptor mechanism. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) antagonism inhibits cocaine self-administration and reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this action are poorly understood.

Paradoxical proepileptic response to NMDA receptor blockade linked to cortical interneuron defect in stargazer mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2013
Paradoxical seizure exacerbation by antiepileptic medication is a well-known clinical phenomenon in epilepsy, but the cellular mechanisms remain unclear.

Allosteric competition and inhibition in AMPA receptors

open access: yesNature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2023
Abstract Excitatory neurotransmission is principally mediated by α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)-subtype ionotropic glutamate receptors (AMPARs). Negative allosteric modulators are therapeutic candidates that inhibit AMPAR activation and can compete with positive modulators to control AMPAR function through

Role of the Ion Channel Extracellular Collar in AMPA Receptor Gating

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
AMPA subtype ionotropic glutamate receptors mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission and are implicated in numerous neurological diseases. Ionic currents through AMPA receptor channels can be allosterically regulated via different sites on the receptor ...

AMPA receptor regulation at the mRNA and protein level in rat primary cortical cultures.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Ionotropic glutamate α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptors are the major mediators of fast synaptic neurotransmission.

Food-induced behavioral sensitization, its cross-sensitization to cocaine and morphine, pharmacological blockade, and effect on food intake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Repeated administration of abused drugs sensitizes their stimulant effects and results in a drug-paired environment eliciting conditioned activity. We tested whether food induces similar effects.

SARM1 is essential for NMDA receptor-dependent endocytosis of AMPA receptors in hippocampal neurons

open access: yesNeuroscience Research
Long-term depression (LTD) is a form of synaptic plasticity thought to be the cellular basis of experience-dependent learning and memory. LTD is caused by an activity-dependent decrease in cell surface α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid

The early stage formation of PI3K-AMPAR GluR2 subunit complex facilitates the long term neuroprotection induced by propofol post-conditioning in rats.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Previously, we have shown that the phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) mediated acute (24 h) post-conditioning neuroprotection induced by propofol.
