Estrogenic regulation of hippocampal inhibitory system across lifespan
Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.Abstract Estrogens produced in peripheral tissues and locally in the brain are potent neuromodulators. The function of the hippocampus, a brain region essential for episodic memory and spatial navigation, relies on the activity of ensembles of excitatory neurons whose activity is temporally and spatially coordinated by a wide diversity of inhibitory ...

Chronic cocaine enhances release of neuroprotective amino acid taurine: a microdialysis study [PDF]
, 2008 Cocaine inhibits high-affinity neurotransmitter uptake at the presynaptic nerve terminals to increase synaptic levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin^1^. This increase of synaptic dopamine may cause neurotoxicity^2,3^.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract The sex hormones progesterone (P) and oestrogen (E) reorganize GABAergic transmission in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during the transition from childhood to adolescence, generating a new excitatory–inhibitory balance necessary for the computational capacity of the mature PFC.

Glutamate Receptor Signaling in Retina Müller Cells: Plausible Role in Neurodegeneration
ReceptorsThe retinal network relies on glutamate, the primary excitatory neurotransmitter involved in the visual cycle. Glutamate transactions are carried out by an array of distinct receptors and transporters distributed across both pre- and post-synaptic ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Stimulation of the Shaffer collateral pathway at 3 Hz activates non‐ionotropic NMDA receptors. This subsequently leads to Src kinase mediated phosphorylation of pannexin‐1 (Panx1), which releases ATP from the postsynaptic cell. ATP acts as a ligand for P2X4 receptors to induce long‐term depression (LTD). Abstract In recent years,

Simplified calcium signaling cascade for synaptic plasticity [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We propose a model for synaptic plasticity based on a calcium signaling cascade. The model simplifies the full signaling pathways from a calcium influx to the phosphorylation (potentiation) and dephosphorylation (depression) of glutamate receptors that are gated by fictive C1 and C2 catalysts, respectively.
