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.

Unbalance between Excitation and Inhibition in Phenylketonuria, a Genetic Metabolic Disease Associated with Autism [PDF]

, 2017
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is the most common genetic metabolic disease with a well-documented association with autism spectrum disorders. It is characterized by the deficiency of the phenylalanine hydroxylase activity, causing plasmatic hyperphenylalaninemia

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 ...

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

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

Membrane-derived phospholipids control synaptic neurotransmission and plasticity. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2015
Synaptic communication is a dynamic process that is key to the regulation of neuronal excitability and information processing in the brain. To date, however, the molecular signals controlling synaptic dynamics have been poorly understood.

Alcohol dependence and withdrawal increase sensitivity of central amygdalar GABAergic synapses to the glucocorticoid receptor antagonist mifepristone in male rats

Neurobiology of Disease, 2022
Aberrant glucocorticoid signaling via glucocorticoid receptors (GR) plays a critical role in alcohol use disorder (AUD). Acute alcohol withdrawal and protracted abstinence in dependent rats are associated with increased GR signaling and changes in GR ...

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.

Nucleus Reuniens Afferents in Hippocampus Modulate CA1 Network Function via Monosynaptic Excitation and Polysynaptic Inhibition

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
The thalamic midline nucleus reuniens modulates hippocampal CA1 and subiculum function via dense projections to the stratum lacunosum-moleculare (SLM). Previously, anatomical data has shown that reuniens inputs in the SLM form synapses with dendrites of ...

Single dendrite-targeting interneurons generate branch-specific inhibition.

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014
Microcircuits composed of dendrite-targeting inhibitory interneurons and pyramidal cells are fundamental elements of cortical networks, however, the impact of individual interneurons on pyramidal dendrites is unclear.
