Exocytosis of serotonin from the neuronal soma is sustained by a serotonin and calcium-dependent feedback loop

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
The soma of many neurons releases large amounts of transmitter molecules through an exocytosis process that continues for hundreds of seconds after the end of the triggering stimulus.

GABABReceptors Regulate Extrasynaptic GABAAReceptors [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2013
Tonic inhibitory GABAAreceptor-mediated currents are observed in numerous cell types in the CNS, including thalamocortical neurons of the ventrobasal thalamus, dentate gyrus granule cells, and cerebellar granule cells. Here we show that in rat brain slices, activation of postsynaptic GABABreceptors enhances the magnitude of the tonic GABAAcurrent ...

Extrasynaptic neurotransmission in the modulation of brain function. Focus on the striatal neuronal-glial networks

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2012
Extrasynaptic neurotransmission is an important short distance form of volume transmission (VT) and describes the extracellular diffusion of transmitters and modulators after synaptic spillover or extrasynaptic release in the local circuit regions ...

Determining the neurotransmitter concentration profile at active synapses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Establishing the temporal and concentration profiles of neurotransmitters during synaptic release is an essential step towards understanding the basic properties of inter-neuronal communication in the central nervous system.

Conopeptide-Functionalized Nanoparticles Selectively Antagonize Extrasynaptic N-Methyl-d-aspartate Receptors and Protect Hippocampal Neurons from Excitotoxicity In Vitro.

open access: yesACS Nano, 2020
N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are ionotropic glutamate receptors controlling fundamental physiological processes in the central nervous system, such as learning and memory.

Functional characterization of dopamine transporter in vivo using Drosophila melanogaster behavioral analysis.

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
Dopamine mediates diverse functions such as motivation, reward, attention, learning/memory and sleep/arousal. Recent studies using model organisms including the fruit fly, have elucidated various physiological functions of dopamine, and identified ...

A synaptic nidogen: developmental regulation and role of nidogen-2 at the neuromuscular junction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background: The skeletal neuromuscular junction is a useful model for elucidating mechanisms that regulate synaptogenesis. Developmentally important intercellular interactions at the neuromuscular junction are mediated by the synaptic portion of a basal ...

Sevoflurane‐induced overexpression of extrasynaptic α5‐GABAAR via the RhoA/ROCK2 pathway impairs cognitive function in aged mice

open access: yesAging Cell
Perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) is a serious neurologic complication in aged patients and might be associated with sevoflurane exposure. However, the specific pathogenesis is still unclear. The distribution of α5‐GABAAR, a γ‐aminobutyric acid

Modulation of the GABAergic pathway for the treatment of fragile X syndrome. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability and the most common single-gene cause of autism. It is caused by mutations on the fragile X mental retardation gene (FMR1) and lack of fragile X mental retardation ...
