MAP7D2 Localizes to the Proximal Axon and Locally Promotes Kinesin-1-Mediated Cargo Transport into the Axon

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: The motor protein kinesin-1 plays an important role in polarized sorting of transport vesicles to the axon. However, the mechanism by which the axonal entry of kinesin-1-dependent cargo transport is regulated remains unclear.

Neurofascin and Kv7.3 are delivered to somatic and axon terminal surface membranes en route to the axon initial segment

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Ion channel complexes promote action potential initiation at the mammalian axon initial segment (AIS), and modulation of AIS size by recruitment or loss of proteins can influence neuron excitability.

Consciousness and spintronic coherence in microtubules

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology
Microtubules are nanoscale spintronic oscillators with memristive properties. Spintronic and memristive effects, together with some unique conditions found in the axon initial segment (AIS), allow quantum coherence to emerge spontaneously in a population

Cerebellar Golgi cell models predict dendritic processing and mechanisms of synaptic plasticity.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2020
The Golgi cells are the main inhibitory interneurons of the cerebellar granular layer. Although recent works have highlighted the complexity of their dendritic organization and synaptic inputs, the mechanisms through which these neurons integrate complex

Spikelets in Pyramidal Neurons: Action Potentials Initiated in the Axon Initial Segment That Do Not Activate the Soma. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2017
Spikelets are small spike-like depolarizations that can be measured in somatic intracellular recordings. Their origin in pyramidal neurons remains controversial.

Burden of rare variants in synaptic genes in patients with severe tinnitus: An exome based extreme phenotype study

open access: yesEBioMedicine, 2021
Background: tinnitus is a heterogeneous condition associated with audiological and/or mental disorders. Chronic, severe tinnitus is reported in 1% of the population and it shows a relevant heritability, according to twins, adoptees and familial ...

Segmentation of Membrane Protein Motion in the Axon Initial Segment [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2016
The axon initial segment (AIS) is a structure rich in specific cytoskeletal molecules that play important roles in the concentration of ion-channels that are required for action-potential generation. The establishment of a postulated diffusion barrier to the lateral exchange of membrane molecules in the AIS correlates with the enrichment of specific ...

Relationship Between Neurologic Symptoms and Signs and FMR1 Genotype in Premutation Carriers

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Fragile X‐associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) is the most severe late‐onset condition caused by a premutation in the FMR1 gene, characterized by expanded CGG triplet repeats of 55–200. Clinical presentations of FXTAS, including gait ataxia, kinetic tremor, cognitive decline, and rare Parkinsonism, are linked to ...

Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Is Involved in Activity-Dependent Tonotopic Refinement of MNTB Neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022
In the mammalian brain, auditory brainstem nuclei are arranged topographically according to acoustic frequency responsiveness. During postnatal development, the axon initial segment (AIS) of principal neurons undergoes structural refinement depending on ...

Anti‐CD19 CAR T Cells in Autoimmune Encephalitis: Inflammation Controlled, Neurodegeneration Unchecked?

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Just recently, successful chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy was reported in the first patient with refractory, anti‐diacylglycerol lipase alpha (DAGLA) antibody‐mediated autoimmune encephalitis, achieving partial clinical remission.
