Accuracy in readout of glutamate concentrations by neuronal cells [PDF]
Glutamate and glycine are important neurotransmitters in the brain. An action potential prop- agating in the terminal of a presynatic neuron causes the release of glutamate and glycine in the synapse by vesicles fusing with the cell membrane, which then activate various receptors on the cell membrane of the post synaptic neuron.

Kainate receptor modulation by NETO2 [PDF]
Glutamate-gated kainate receptors (KARs) are ubiquitous in the central nervous system of vertebrates, mediate synaptic transmission on post-synapse, and modulate transmitter release on pre-synapse. In the brain, the trafficking, gating kinetics, and pharmacology of KARs are tightly regulated by Neuropilin and tolloid-like proteins (Netos).

Molecular Switches of Allosteric Modulation of the Metabotropic Glutamate 2 Receptor [PDF]
Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors are class C G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) crucial for CNS function and important drug discovery targets. Glutamate triggers receptor activation from an extracellular domain binding site while allosteric modulators bind in the seven-transmembrane domain.

MicroRNA binding site variation is enriched in psychiatric disorders
Abstract Psychiatric disorders have a polygenic architecture, often associated with dozens or hundreds of independent genomic loci. Most associated loci impact noncoding regions of the genome, suggesting that the majority of disease heritability originates from the disruption of regulatory sequences.

Synergistic inhibition of survival, proliferation, and migration of U87 cells with a combination of LY341495 and Iressa. [PDF]
Glioblastomas exploit various molecular pathways to promote glutamate- dependent growth by activating the AMPA (2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methyl-isoxazol-4-yl) propanoic acid) receptor, the group II metabotropic glutamate receptor, mGluR, and the epidermal ...

高濃度グルタミン酸に応答したアストロサイトのリポカリン2産生について [PDF]
新潟大学Niigata University博士(医学)Aims Glutamate-induced excitotoxicity is mainly mediated by neuronal NMDA receptors; however, it is unclear how astrocytes are involved in this phenomeno n.

Differential alteration of synaptic versus extrasynaptic NMDARs in P301S mice. Reduced density of synaptic NMDARs in excitatory synapses in the hippocampus of P301S mice at 10 months. NMDARs at excitatory synapses established on pyramidal cell spines and interneurons are significantly reduced in the CA1 region of the hippocampus compared to age‐matched

The fate of interneurons, GABAA receptor sub‐types and perineuronal nets in Alzheimer's disease
Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurological disease, which is associated with gradual memory loss and correlated with synaptic hyperactivity and abnormal oscillatory rhythmic brain activity that precedes phenotypic alterations and is partly responsible for the spread of the disease pathology.
