Neuromodulation of Chemical Synaptic Transmission Driven by THz Photons

Research, 2022
Postsynaptic currents of chemical synapse are modulated by multitudinous neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine, dopamine, glutamate, and γ-aminobutyric acid, many of which have been used in the treatment of neurological diseases.

Efavirenz restored NMDA receptor dysfunction and inhibited epileptic seizures in GluN2A/Grin2a mutant mice

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionN-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is one of the main receptor of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate in the brain, which is the key determinant of the excitatory/inhibitory balance of neural network.

Spike-timing dependent plasticity in inhibitory circuits

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2010
Inhibitory circuits in the brain rely on GABA-releasing interneurons. For long, inhibitory circuits were considered weakly plastic in the face of patterns of neuronal activity that trigger long-term changes in the synapses between excitatory principal ...

Phenomenological incorporation of nonlinear dendritic integration using integrate-and-fire neuronal frameworks. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
It has been discovered recently in experiments that the dendritic integration of excitatory glutamatergic inputs and inhibitory GABAergic inputs in hippocampus CA1 pyramidal neurons obeys a simple arithmetic rule as V(S)(Exp) ≈ V(E)(Exp) + V(I)(Exp) + kV(

Nitric oxide signalling modulates synaptic inhibition in the superior paraolivary nucleus (SPN) via cGMP-dependent suppression of KCC2

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014
Glycinergic inhibition plays a central role in the auditory brainstem circuitries involved in sound localization and in the encoding of temporal action potential firing patterns.

Facilitatory actions of guanidine on synaptic transmission in mammalian brain slices [PDF]

, 1979
Guanidine administration may be beneficial in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and related diseases; however, the actions of guanidine on the mammalian central nervous system have not been investigated.

Imbalance of Excitation and Inhibition at Threshold Level In the Auditory Cortex

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2015
The interplay of cortical excitation and inhibition is a fundamental feature of cortical information processing. Excitation and inhibition in single cortical neurons are balanced in their response to optimal sensory stimulation due to thalamocortical ...

Functional maps of neocortical local circuitry

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2007
This review aims to summarize data obtained with different techniques to provide a functional map of the local circuit connections made by neocortical neurones, a reference for those interested in cortical circuitry and the numerical information required

Convulsant actions of 4-aminopyridine on the guinea-pig olfactory cortex slice [PDF]

, 1982
The effects of bath-applied 4-aminopyridine on neurones and extracellular potassium and calcium concentrations were recorded in slices of guinea-pig olfactory cortex. Neurones were orthodromically activated by stimulating the lateral olfactory tract.

Disruption of KCC2 in Parvalbumin-Positive Interneurons Is Associated With a Decreased Seizure Threshold and a Progressive Loss of Parvalbumin-Positive Interneurons

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
GABAA receptors are ligand-gated ion channels, which are predominantly permeable for chloride. The neuronal K-Cl cotransporter KCC2 lowers the intraneuronal chloride concentration and thus plays an important role for GABA signaling. KCC2 loss-of-function
