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 ...

Glia, Volume 73, Issue 7, Page 1483-1501, July 2025.Main Points Multi‐omics reveal Annexin‐A2 (A2) and S100a10 (A10) as SCN astrocyte enriched proteins. Disrupting A2‐A10 complex elevates astrocyte Ca2+ and compromises SCN timekeeping. Astrocytic A2‐A10 is a critical control point for SCN network rhythms.

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^.
