Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors Inhibit Microglial Glutamate Release [PDF]
ASN Neuro, 2012 Pro-inflammatory stimuli evoke an export of glutamate from microglia that is sufficient to contribute to excitotoxicity in neighbouring neurons. Since microglia also express various glutamate receptors themselves, we were interested in the potential ...

Cells, 2019 Glutamate is one of the most prevalent neurotransmitters released by excitatory neurons in the central nervous system (CNS); however, residual glutamate in the extracellular space is, potentially, neurotoxic.

PKA drives an increase in AMPA receptor unitary conductance during LTP in the hippocampus
Nature Communications, 2021 Long-term potentiation at hippocampal CA1 synapses can be due to increasing the number and/or single-channel conductance of AMPA receptors. The authors show that PKA and CaMKII are necessary and together sufficient to increase single channel conductance,

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2022 IntroductionGlutamatergic dysfunction is implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. It is unclear whether glutamatergic dysfunction predicts response to treatment or if antipsychotic treatment influences glutamate levels.

Glutamate and reinstatement [PDF]
Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2009 The importance of glutamate in the reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior has been established. New molecular and neurochemical adaptations in the glutamatergic system which drive cocaine relapse have been identified, such as the ability of CB1 receptor stimulation to reduce basal glutamate levels and the involvement of the GluR1 receptor subunit in

Illuminating Relationships Between the Pre- and Post-synapse
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2020 Excitatory synapses in the mammalian cortex are highly diverse, both in terms of their structure and function. However, relationships between synaptic features indicate they are highly coordinated entities.

Structural basis of subtype-selective competitive antagonism for GluN2C/2D-containing NMDA receptors
Nature Communications, 2020 Selectively inhibiting N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) containing the GluN2C/2D subunits has been challenging. Here, using electrophysiology and X-ray crystallography, authors show that compounds UBP791 and UBP1700 show over 40- and 50-fold ...

British Journal of Pharmacology, 2006 Glutamatergic synaptic transmission in the mammalian central nervous system was slowly established over a period of some 20 years, dating from the 1950s. Realisation that glutamate and like amino acids (collectively known as excitatory amino acids (EAA)) mediated their excitatory actionsviamultiple receptors preceded establishment of these receptors as

Brain and Neuroscience Advances, 2020 The ketamine metabolite (2 R ,6 R )-hydroxynorketamine has been proposed to have rapid and persistent antidepressant actions in rodents, but its mechanism of action is controversial.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The brainstem nucleus tractus solitarii (nTS) processes and modulates the afferent arc of critical peripheral cardiorespiratory reflexes. Sensory afferents release glutamate to initiate the central component of these reflexes, and glutamate concentration
