Calcineurin Mediates Synaptic Scaling Via Synaptic Trafficking of Ca2+-Permeable AMPA Receptors
PLoS Biology, 2014 Kim and Ziff examine the molecular mechanism of synaptic scaling, showing that inhibition of neuronal excitability reduces calcium influx into neurons, resulting in decreased calcineurin activity.

Assembly and Stoichiometry of the AMPA Receptor and Transmembrane AMPA Receptor Regulatory Protein Complex [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2010 Glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain. AMPA-type glutamate receptors mediate fast excitatory transmission. AMPA receptors assemble with transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory protein (TARP) auxiliary subunits and function as native ion channels.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mental disorders are a significant global public health concern, affecting nearly one in eight individuals worldwide. This review investigates the multifaceted etiology of mental disorders—specifically major depressive disorder (MDD), schizophrenia (SCZ), and bipolar disorder (BD)—through genetic, neurobiological, and environmental ...

Autism Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although there are as many as 40 preclinical models of the neurodevelopmental disorder Phelan McDermid syndrome (PMS, or 22q13.3 deletion syndrome), detailed phenotypic analyses to compare the effects of different pathogenic variants and inform treatment design are lacking.

Stargazin Dephosphorylation Mediates Homeostatic Synaptic Downscaling of Excitatory Synapses
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018 Synaptic scaling is a form of homeostatic plasticity that is critical for maintaining neuronal activity within a dynamic range, and which alters synaptic strength through changes in postsynaptic AMPA-type glutamate receptors.

Acute inactivation of PSD-95 destabilizes AMPA receptors at hippocampal synapses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Postsynatptic density protein (PSD-95) is a 95 kDa scaffolding protein that assembles signaling complexes at synapses. Over-expression of PSD-95 in primary hippocampal neurons selectively increases synaptic localization of AMPA receptors; however, mice ...

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The subfamily Gomphrenoideae is composed of about 480 accepted species, many of which have been historically used as medicinal plants, reason why they have been studied in terms of chemical profile, biological activity, and safety. This review consolidates the advances in research on this subfamily over the past 47 years, emphasizing its ...

PhotonSABER: new tool shedding light on endocytosis and learning mechanisms in vivo
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2019 In the central nervous system, activity-dependent endocytosis of postsynaptic AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPA receptors) is thought to mediate long-term depression (LTD), which is a synaptic plasticity model in various neuronal circuits.

AMPA and Kainate Receptors Each Mediate Excitotoxicity in Oligodendroglial Cultures
Neurobiology of Disease, 1999 Recent studies indicate that oligodendrocytes are vulnerable to excitotoxic insults mediated by glutamate receptors. The present study was carried out to characterize the type of glutamate receptors triggering cell death in optic nerve oligodendrocyte ...
