N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) play a critical role in synaptic signaling, and alterations in the synaptic/extrasynaptic NMDAR balance affect neuronal survival.

C-Terminal truncation of NR2A subunits impairs synaptic but not extrasynaptic localization of NMDA receptors [PDF]
NMDA receptors interact via the extended intracellular C-terminal domain of the NR2 subunits with constituents of the postsynaptic density for purposes of retention, clustering, and functional regulation at central excitatory synapses.

Hippocampal hyperactivity is correlated with psychosis in schizophrenia patients and likely attributable to deficits in GABAergic signaling. Here we attempt to reverse this deficit by overexpression of the α5-GABAA receptor within the ventral hippocampus

Abstract Pathogenic variants in SLC6A1 cause a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by developmental delay with behavioral disturbances, seizures, often pharmacoresistant, and a spectrum of movement disorders such as ataxia. A similar triad is observed in other monogenic conditions, such as SLC2A1, CHD2, and CACNA1A‐related disorders, where ...

Insulin Regulates GABAA Receptor-Mediated Tonic Currents in the Prefrontal Cortex
Recent studies, have shown that insulin increases extrasynaptic GABAA receptor-mediated currents in the hippocampus, causing alterations of neuronal excitability.

DMV extrasynaptic NMDA receptors regulate caloric intake in rats
Acute high-fat diet (aHFD) exposure induces a brief period of hyperphagia before caloric balance is restored. Previous studies have demonstrated that this period of regulation is associated with activation of synaptic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA ...

The mechanisms in glucose metabolism of aging hippocampus
Cognitive decline in elders stems from the irreversible loss and functional decline of neurons, with the hippocampus being particularly susceptible to age‐related neuronal deterioration. Glucose acts as the primary fuel for the brain, and a constant provision of glucose to the hippocampus is essential for memory and cognitive functions.

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 ...

Synaptic targeting and localization of Discs-large is a stepwise process controlled by different domains of the protein [PDF]
Background: Membrane-associated guanylate kinases (MAGUKs) assemble ion channels, cell-adhesion molecules and components of second messenger cascades into synapses, and are therefore potentially important for co-ordinating synaptic strength and structure.
