Sustained Activity of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor: Homer, Arrestin, and Beyond
Neural Plasticity, 2017 When activated, metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlus) exert long-lasting changes within the glutamatergic synapses. One mechanism is a tonic effect of downstream signal transduction pathways via sustained activation of mGlu itself.

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.

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,

Dual role for pannexin 1 at synapses: regulating functional and morphological plasticity
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Pannexin 1 (PANX1) regulation of dendritic spines. The postnatal decrease in PANX1 expression could release key spine cytoskeleton‐regulating proteins enabling spine stabilization. Does the physiological decrease in neuronal PANX1 levels across brain development underlie dendritic spine maturation?

The mysterious middlemen making your vision pop: understanding the function of amacrine cells
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend This review aims to illustrate the diversity and function of amacrine cells in the retina. The diversity of amacrine cell subtypes is depicted based on morphology, stratification and neurotransmitter expression, along with their synaptic connectivity with bipolar and ganglion cells, emphasizing inhibitory and modulatory roles ...
