Sleep deprivation causes memory deficits by negatively impacting neuronal connectivity in hippocampal area CA1 [PDF]
Brief periods of sleep loss have long-lasting consequences such as impaired memory consolidation. Structural changes in synaptic connectivity have been proposed as a substrate of memory storage.

A Constraint on cAMP Signaling [PDF]
AbstractStudies in invertebrates and vertebrates have demonstrated a critical role for cAMP signaling and adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity in learning and memory. In this issue of Neuron, Pineda et al. show that in the hippocampus, reduction of AC activity via the inhibitory G protein Gi is critical for memory formation, suggesting that a balance of ...

Elevated intracellular cAMP exacerbates vulnerability to oxidative stress in optic nerve head astrocytes. [PDF]
Glaucoma is characterized by a progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons, but the underlying biological basis for the accompanying neurodegeneration is not known.

cAMP Signals in Drosophila Motor Neurons Are Confined to Single Synaptic Boutons
Summary: The second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) plays an important role in synaptic plasticity. Although there is evidence for local control of synaptic transmission and plasticity, it is less clear whether a similar spatial confinement of cAMP signaling

Prostacyclin (PGI2) controls platelet activation and thrombosis through a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling cascade. However, in patients with cardiovascular diseases this protective mechanism fails for reasons that are unclear.

Targeting protein–protein interactions within the cyclic AMP signaling system as a therapeutic strategy for cardiovascular disease [PDF]
The cAMP signaling system can trigger precise physiological cellular responses that depend on the fidelity of many protein–protein interactions, which act to bring together signaling intermediates at defined locations within cells.

A link among schizophrenia, diabetes, and asthma: Role of Ca2+/cAMP signaling
Asthma has been associated with an increased risk for developing schizophrenia. In addition, schizophrenia has been associated with an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus, resulting in an elevated cardiovascular risk and in a limited ...
