Microglial VRK2 Regulates Astrocytic GABA Synthesis and Tonic Inhibition in the Thalamus
In Vrk2‐deficient mice, tonic GABA inhibition is reduced in the mediodorsal thalamus due to impaired astrocytic GABA synthesis. Microglial VRK2 regulates this process via TNF‐α signaling, revealing a glial–glial mechanism of thalamic inhibition.

Extrasynaptic GABA(A) receptors and tonic inhibition in rat auditory thalamus. [PDF]
Neural inhibition plays an important role in auditory processing and attentional gating. Extrasynaptic GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)R), containing α(4)and δ GABA(A)R subunits, are thought to be activated by GABA spillover outside of the synapse following ...

Reduction in Phencyclidine Induced Sensorimotor Gating Deficits in the Rat Following Increased System Xc − Activity in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex [PDF]
Rationale: Aspects of schizophrenia, including deficits in sensorimotor gating, have been linked to glutamate dysfunction and/or oxidative stress in the prefrontal cortex. System xc −, a cystine–glutamate antiporter, is a poorly understood mechanism that

A computational laminar model links fast interneuron dysfunction to early hyperexcitability and late hypoactivity in Alzheimer's disease, reproducing key M/EEG biomarkers and capturing the disease's biphasic electrophysiological progression. ABSTRACT Early‐stage AD involves cortical hyperexcitability, progressing to oscillatory slowing and hypoactivity.

The activity of isolated neurons and the modulatory state of an isolated nervous system represent a recent behavioural state [PDF]
Behavioural/motivational state is known to influence nearly all aspects of physiology and behaviour. The cellular basis of behavioural state control is only partially understood.

Glutamate Receptors and Synaptic Plasticity in Health and Disease: A Personal Journey
ABSTRACT I describe my progress in understanding synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. Over the decades my lab has focused on the roles of glutamate receptors (AMPARs, NMDARs, mGluRs and KARs) and associated signaling molecules in LTP and LTD. Most of our studies have been conducted in area CA1 (Schaffer collateral—commissural pathway) with some ...

Extrasynaptic NMDA receptor dependent long-term potentiation of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons
In the adult mouse hippocampus, NMDA receptors (NMDARs) of CA1 neurons play an important role in the synaptic plasticity. The location of NMDARs can determine their roles in the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP). However, the extrasynaptic NMDARs

Rats treated with the domain‐selective BET inhibitor RVX‐208 during a 2‐week forced abstinence period exhibited a reduction in cocaine‐seeking behaviour but not sucrose seeking or open field behaviour. This treatment effect was associated with proteomic changes in pathways relevant to dopaminergic and glutamatergic signalling in the nucleus accumbens ...

Extrasynaptic GABAAReceptors: Form, Pharmacology, and Function [PDF]
GABA is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS and acts via GABAAand GABABreceptors. Recently, a novel form of GABAAreceptor-mediated inhibition, termed “tonic” inhibition, has been described. Whereas synaptic GABAAreceptors underlie classical “phasic” GABAAreceptor-mediated inhibition (inhibitory postsynaptic currents), tonic ...

GABAA receptors (γ-aminobutyric acid-gated receptors type A; GABAARs), the major structural and functional postsynaptic components of inhibitory synapses in the mammalian brain, belong to a family of GABA-gated Cl−/HCO3− ion channels.
