Quantitative analysis of the interaction between NMDA and AMPA receptors in glutamatergic synapses based on mathematical model

open access: yesNeuroscience Research
NMDA and AMPA receptors are co-localized at most glutamatergic synapses, where their numbers and distribution undergo dynamic changes. Glutamate binds to both the NMDA and AMPA receptors.

Activation of AMPA Receptors in the Lateral Habenula Produces Anxiolytic Effects in a Rat Model of Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is commonly accompanied with anxiety disorder, however, the mechanisms underlying PD-mediated anxiety remain elusive.

AMPA Receptor Phosphorylation and Synaptic Colocalization on Motor Neurons Drive Maladaptive Plasticity below Complete Spinal Cord Injury. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Clinical spinal cord injury (SCI) is accompanied by comorbid peripheral injury in 47% of patients. Human and animal modeling data have shown that painful peripheral injuries undermine long-term recovery of locomotion through unknown mechanisms ...

Cell biological mechanisms of activity-dependent synapse to nucleus translocation of CRTC1 in neurons. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Previous studies have revealed a critical role for CREB-regulated transcriptional coactivator (CRTC1) in regulating neuronal gene expression during learning and memory. CRTC1 localizes to synapses but undergoes activity-dependent nuclear translocation to

Gating Modes in AMPA Receptors [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2010
AMPA receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that show multiple conductance levels, indicating that gating of individual AMPA subunits is to some extent independent of the other subunits. To study AMPAR subunit interactions during activation gating, we recorded from single channels in the absence of channel block and desensitization and at negative and

PKA drives an increase in AMPA receptor unitary conductance during LTP in the hippocampus

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Long-term potentiation at hippocampal CA1 synapses can be due to increasing the number and/or single-channel conductance of AMPA receptors. The authors show that PKA and CaMKII are necessary and together sufficient to increase single channel conductance,

AMPA receptor trafficking and learning [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, 2010
AbstractIn the last few years it has become clear that AMPA‐type glutamate neurotransmitter receptors are rapidly transported into and out of synapses to strengthen or weaken their function. The remarkable dynamics of AMPA receptor (AMPAR) synaptic localization provides a compelling mechanism for understanding the cellular basis of learning and memory,

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 ...

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.

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.
