Extrasynaptic Communication [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021 Streams of action potentials or long depolarizations evoke a massive exocytosis of transmitters and peptides from the surface of dendrites, axons and cell bodies of different neuron types.

The role of spinal cord extrasynaptic α 5 GABA A receptors in chronic pain
Physiological Reports, 2021 Chronic pain is an incapacitating condition that affects a large population worldwide. Until now, there is no drug treatment to relieve it. The impairment of GABAergic inhibition mediated by GABAA receptors (GABAAR) is considered a relevant factor in ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012 We review the evidence of exocytosis from extrasynaptic sites in the soma, dendrites and axonal varicosities of central and peripheral neurons of vertebrates and invertebrates, and how it may contribute to signaling in the nervous system.

Re-Evaluation of the Ultrastructural Localization of Tonic GABA-A Receptors [PDF]
PharmaceuticalsCell membrane receptors play key roles in physiological and pathological processes, yet the mechanisms governing their expression and distribution across the plasma membrane remain not completely understood. Broadly, membrane receptors can be categorized

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012 Extrasynaptic neurotransmission is an important short distance form of volume transmission (VT) and describes the extracellular diffusion of transmitters and modulators after synaptic spillover or extrasynaptic release in the local circuit regions ...

GABA Potency at GABAA Receptors Found in Synaptic and Extrasynaptic Zones
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2012 The potency of GABA is vitally important for its primary role in activating GABAA receptors and acting as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Although numerous laboratories have presented information, directly or indirectly, on GABA potency, it is often ...

GLP-1 selectively enhances tonic GABAA receptor-mediated currents in mouse dentate gyrus granule cells of the ventral hippocampus [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular NeuroscienceGlucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a metabolic hormone secreted by L-cells in the gut and it stimulates insulin secretion in the pancreatic islets by activating GLP-1 receptors (GLP-1Rs).

Neurobiology of Disease, 2012 We recently reported evidence for disturbed synaptic versus extrasynaptic NMDAR transmission in the early pathogenesis of Huntington's disease (HD), a late-onset neurodegenerative disorder caused by CAG repeat expansion in the gene encoding huntingtin ...

Neurobiology of Disease, 2013 Excitotoxicity plays a central role in the neuronal damage during ischemic stroke. Although growing evidence suggests that activation of extrasynaptic NMDA receptors initiates neuronal death, no direct evidence demonstrated their activation during ...
