Increased accuracy of ligand sensing by receptor diffusion on cell surface [PDF]
The physical limit with which a cell senses external ligand concentration corresponds to the perfect absorber, where all ligand particles are absorbed and overcounting of same ligand particles does not occur. Here we analyze how the lateral diffusion of receptors on the cell membrane affects the accuracy of sensing ligand concentration.

Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy/American Epilepsy Society (ILAE/AES) Joint Translational Task Force initiated the TASK3 working group to create common data elements (CDEs) for various aspects of preclinical epilepsy research studies, which could help improve the standardization of experimental designs.

The GABA-Withdrawal Syndrome: A Model of Local Status Epilepticus
The GABA-withdrawal syndrome (GWS) is a model of local status epilepticus following the interruption of a chronic GABA infusion into the rat somatomotor cortex.

Activity-dependent modulation of neural circuit synaptic connectivity
In many nervous systems, the establishment of neural circuits is known to proceed via a two-stage process; 1) early, activity-independent wiring to produce a rough map characterized by excessive synaptic connections, and 2) subsequent, use-dependent

The role of neurosteroids in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy [PDF]
Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) represents a neuropsychiatric syndrome caused by acute or chronic liver failure. Hyperammonemia plays a pivotal role in the development of HE through modulation of neurotransmission, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation ...

Relationships between Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Neurotransmission Failure in Alzheimer’s Disease
Besides extracellular deposition of amyloid beta and formation of phosphorylated tau in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the pathogenesis of AD is also thought to involve mitochondrial dysfunctions and altered neurotransmission ...

Normal hearing and synaptic transmission at afferent auditory inner hair cell (IHC) synapses require otoferlin. Deafness DFNB9, caused by mutations in the OTOF gene encoding otoferlin, might be treated by transferring wild‐type otoferlin cDNA into IHCs ...

Neurexin directs partner-specific synaptic connectivity in C. elegans
In neural circuits, individual neurons often make projections onto multiple postsynaptic partners. Here, we investigate molecular mechanisms by which these divergent connections are generated, using dyadic synapses in C. elegans as a model.

Overexpressing temperature-sensitive dynamin decelerates phototransduction and bundles microtubules in drosophila photoreceptors [PDF]
shibire(ts1), a temperature-sensitive mutation of the Drosophila gene encoding a Dynamin orthologue, blocks vesicle endocytosis and thus synaptic transmission, at elevated, or restrictive temperatures.
