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.

Extrasynaptic δ-subunit containing GABAA receptors [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2021 γ-Aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs) are GABA gated heteropentameric chloride channels responsible for the adult brain’s primary inhibition.

Metabotropic Regulation of Extrasynaptic GABAA Receptors [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013 A large body of work now shows the importance of GABAA receptor-mediated tonic inhibition in regulating CNS function. However, outside of pathological conditions, there is relatively little evidence that the magnitude of tonic inhibition is itself under ...

Distribution of Extrasynaptic NMDA Receptors on Neurons [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2012 NMDA receptors are found in both synaptic and extrasynaptic locations on neurons. NMDA receptors also can be found on neurons in early stages prior to synaptogenesis, where they may be involved in migration and differentiation.

Regulating anxiety with extrasynaptic inhibition [PDF]
Nature Neuroscience, 2015 Aversive experiences can lead to complex behavioral adaptations including increased levels of anxiety and fear generalization. The neuronal mechanisms underlying such maladaptive behavioral changes, however, are poorly understood. Here, using a combination of behavioral, physiological and optogenetic approaches in mouse, we identify a specific ...

Realising the therapeutic potential of neuroactive steroid modulators of the GABAA receptor [PDF]
, 2020 In the 1980s particular endogenous metabolites of progesterone and of deoxycorticosterone were revealed to be potent, efficacious, positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of the GABAA receptor (GABAAR).

The role of spinal cord extrasynaptic α5GABAA 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 ...

Glutamate-Mediated Extrasynaptic Inhibition [PDF]
Neuron, 2001 Abstract NMDA receptors (NMDARs) typically contribute to excitatory synaptic transmission in the CNS. While Ca 2+ influx through NMDARs plays a critical role in synaptic plasticity, direct actions of NMDAR-mediated Ca 2+ influx on neuronal excitability have not been well established. Here we show that Ca 2+ influx through NMDARs is directly coupled

Ascaris suum Informs Extrasynaptic Volume Transmission in Nematodes [PDF]
ACS Chemical Neuroscience, 2021 Neural circuit synaptic connectivities (the connectome) provide the anatomical foundation for our understanding of nematode nervous system function. However, other nonsynaptic routes of communication are known in invertebrates including extrasynaptic volume transmission (EVT), which enables short- and/or long-range communication in the absence of ...

Synaptic NMDA receptors mediate hypoxic excitotoxic death [PDF]
, 2012 Excessive NMDA receptor activation and excitotoxicity underlies pathology in many neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders, including hypoxia/ischemia.
