Glutamate receptor pores [PDF]
AbstractGlutamate receptors are ligand‐gated ion channels that mediate fast excitatory synaptic transmission throughout the central nervous system. Functional receptors are homo‐ or heteromeric tetramers with each subunit contributing a re‐entrant pore loop that dips into the membrane from the cytoplasmic side. The pore loops form a narrow constriction

mGluR5 antagonism inhibits cocaine reinforcement and relapse by elevation of extracellular glutamate in the nucleus accumbens via a CB1 receptor mechanism. [PDF]
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) antagonism inhibits cocaine self-administration and reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this action are poorly understood.

Metabotropic glutamate receptors in cancer [PDF]
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are widely known for their roles in synaptic signaling. However, accumulating evidence suggests roles of mGluRs in human malignancies in addition to synaptic transmission. Somatic cell homeostasis presents intriguing possibilities of mGluRs and glutamate signaling as novel targets for human cancers.

Morphological plasticity of astroglia: Understanding synaptic microenvironment [PDF]
Memory formation in the brain is thought to rely on the remodeling of synaptic connections which eventually results in neural network rewiring. This remodeling is likely to involve ultrathin astroglial protrusions which often occur in the immediate ...

Astroglial Glutamate Signaling and Uptake in the Hippocampus
Astrocytes have long been regarded as essentially unexcitable cells that do not contribute to active signaling and information processing in the brain. Contrary to this classical view, it is now firmly established that astrocytes can specifically respond

Loss of FKBP5 Affects Neuron Synaptic Plasticity: An Electrophysiology Insight [PDF]
FKBP5 (FKBP51) is a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binding protein, which acts as a co-chaperone of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and negatively regulates GR.

The DLGAP family: neuronal expression, function and role in brain disorders
The neurotransmitter glutamate facilitates neuronal signalling at excitatory synapses. Glutamate is released from the presynaptic membrane into the synaptic cleft.
