Hsp47 promotes biogenesis of multi-subunit neuroreceptors in the endoplasmic reticulum
Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) deficiency is an important contributing factor to neurological and metabolic diseases. However, how the proteostasis network orchestrates the folding and assembly of multi-subunit membrane proteins is poorly understood.

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.

Modulating anxiety with extrasynaptic inhibition [PDF]
Traumatic experiences and stress can lead to complex behavioral adaptations, including increased levels of anxiety and fear generalization. The neuronal mechanisms underlying such maladaptive behavioral changes are, however, poorly understood.

WONOEP appraisal: Biomarkers and treatment strategies beyond the synapse
Abstract Epilepsy is a heterogeneous neurological disorder affecting more than 70 million people worldwide, posing significant challenges for clinicians due to its complex etiology, diverse manifestations, variable treatment responses, and the inability to predict seizures or disease onset reliably.

The ataxia (axJ) mutation causes abnormal GABAA receptor turnover in mice [PDF]
Ataxia represents a pathological coordination failure that often involves functional disturbances in cerebellar circuits. Purkinje cells (PCs) characterize the only output neurons of the cerebellar cortex and critically participate in regulating motor ...

Functional domains of GABAA receptors
The transmitter-gated ion channels mediate rapid synaptic transmission, for example, at the neuromuscular junction using acetylcholine and in the CNS using primarily the amino acids glutamate and GABA. GABAA-receptor Cl- channels share sequence homology with a superfamily of these channels including nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and inhibitory ...

Hippocampal network activity changes during early epileptogenesis predict subsequent epilepsy
Abstract Objective Despite decades of research, the circuit mechanisms that underlie focal epileptogenesis remain incompletely understood. In this study, we aimed to characterize the changes in hippocampal network activity induced by an epileptogenic insult.

Investigating the interplay between excitatory neurotransmission and GABAa receptor expression and trafficking in the stargazer mutant mouse [PDF]
The stargazer mutant mouse is an animal model of human absence epilepsy and cerebellar ataxia. The stargazer mutation results in the complete ablation of expression of TARPy2, an AMPA receptor (AMPAR) auxiliary subunit.

Toward Understanding Functional Properties and Subunit Arrangement of α4β2δ γ-Aminobutyric Acid, Type A (GABAA) Receptors. [PDF]
GABAA receptors are pentameric ligand-gated channels mediating inhibitory neurotransmission in the CNS. α4βxδ GABAA receptors are extrasynaptic receptors important for tonic inhibition. The functional properties and subunit arrangement of these receptors
