Development of inflammation-induced hyperalgesia and allodynia is associated with the upregulation of extrasynaptic AMPA receptors in tonically firing lamina II dorsal horn neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2012
Persistent peripheral inflammation changes AMPA receptor (AMPAR) trafficking in dorsal horn neurons by promoting internalization of GluR2-containing, Ca2+-impermeable AMPARs from the synapses and by increasing insertion of GluR1-containing, Ca2 ...

Dendritic signaling in inhibitory interneurons: local tuning via group I metabotropic glutamate receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2012
Communication between neurons is achieved by rapid signal transduction via highly specialized structural elements known as synaptic contacts. In addition, numerous extrasynaptic mechanisms provide a flexible platform for the local regulation of synaptic ...

Pharmacological characterisation of murine α4β1δ GABAA receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: GABAA receptor subunit composition has a profound effect on the receptor's physiological and pharmacological properties. The receptor β subunit is widely recognised for its importance in receptor assembly, trafficking and post-translational ...

The activity of isolated neurons and the modulatory state of an isolated nervous system represent a recent behavioural state [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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.

High- and low-conductance NMDA receptors are present in layer 4 spiny stellate and layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons of mouse barrel cortex

open access: yes, 2016
NMDA receptors are ion channels activated by the neurotransmitter glutamate in the mammalian brain and are important in synaptic function and plasticity, but are also found in extrasynaptic locations and influence neuronal excitability.

Extrasynaptic glutamate receptor activation as cellular bases for dynamic range compression in pyramidal neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2012
Repetitive synaptic stimulation overcomes the ability of astrocytic processes to clear glutamate from the extracellular space, allowing some dendritic segments to become submerged in a pool of glutamate.

Crosstalk Between Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor And N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Signaling In Neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in brain exerting prosurvival effect on neurons via N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) signaling under physiological conditions.

Extrasynaptic distribution of monoamine transporters and receptors

open access: yes, 2000
Publisher Summary Extra-synaptic, as well as synaptic sites for monoaminergic transmission have been elucidated by using electron microscopic immunocytochemistry for the localization of sequence specific antipeptide antisera against recently cloned vesicular and plasmalemmal monoamine transporters and receptors.

NMDAR-Activated PP1 Dephosphorylates GluN2B to Modulate NMDAR Synaptic Content

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: In mature neurons, postsynaptic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are segregated into two populations, synaptic and extrasynaptic, which differ in localization, function, and associated intracellular cascades. These two pools are connected

Extrasynaptic Release of GABA by Retinal Dopaminergic Neurons

open access: yesJournal of Neurophysiology, 2009
GABA release by dopaminergic amacrine (DA) cells of the mouse retina was detected by measuring Cl−currents generated by isolated perikarya in response to their own neurotransmitter. The possibility that the Cl−currents were caused by GABA release from synaptic endings that had survived the dissociation of the retina was ruled out by examining confocal ...
