A novel method using ambient glutamate for the electrophysiological quantification of extrasynaptic NMDA receptor function in acute brain slices

open access: yesJournal of Physiology, 2019
We present a novel protocol to quantify extrasynaptic NMDA receptor function utilizing the semi‐selective activation of extrasynaptic receptors by ambient extracellular glutamate in acute brain slices from adult rats.

Neurotransmitters and Immunity: Molecular Mechanisms, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Potential Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
Role of neurotransmitters in multiple pathological processes. Various neurotransmitters, including ACh, EPI, NE, 5‐HT, histamine, DA, glutamate, GABA, and neuropeptides participate in regulating key pathological events, including tumor proliferation, tumor migration, remodeling of the immune microenvironment, and the development of NDDs and ...

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 ...

Intranasal Insulin Mitigates Memory Impairment and Neuroinflammation in a Mouse Model of Hippocampal Aging

open access: yesPharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 13, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aging is a complex process that frequently includes cognitive decline with memory loss. In the hippocampus, the number of somatostatin‐positive (Sst+) GABAergic interneurons in the hilar region of the dentate gyrus decreases with age. We previously showed that selective ablation of Sst+ dentate hilar interneurons is sufficient to induce ...

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 ...

Extrasynaptic δ‐GABAA receptors are high‐affinity muscimol receptors

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, 2019
Muscimol, the major psychoactive ingredient in the mushroom Amanita muscaria, has been regarded as a universal non‐selective GABA‐site agonist. Deletion of the GABAA receptor (GABAAR) δ subunit in mice (δKO) leads to a drastic reduction in high‐affinity ...

Suppression of Harmaline Tremor by Activation of an Extrasynaptic GABAA Receptor: Implications for Essential Tremor

open access: yesTremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2018
Background Metabolic imaging has revealed excessive cerebellar activity in essential tremor patients. Golgi cells control cerebellar activity by releasing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) onto synaptic and extrasynaptic receptors on cerebellar granule ...

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
