Abstract Background Anxiety disorders emerge during childhood and adolescence and are frequently preceded by subsyndromal anxiety symptoms. Environmental toxicants, including gestational polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) exposure, are associated with neuropsychiatric sequelae; however, the role of PBDEs as risk factors for anxiety in adolescence is ...

Hydrocarbon molar water solubility predicts NMDA vs. GABAA receptor modulation. [PDF]
BackgroundMany anesthetics modulate 3-transmembrane (such as NMDA) and 4-transmembrane (such as GABAA) receptors. Clinical and experimental anesthetics exhibiting receptor family specificity often have low water solubility. We hypothesized that the molar

Structure and evolution of neuronal wiring receptors and ligands
Abstract One of the fundamental properties of a neuronal circuit is the map of its connections. The cellular and developmental processes that allow for the growth of axons and dendrites, selection of synaptic targets, and formation of functional synapses use neuronal surface receptors and their interactions with other surface receptors, secreted ...

Visual Attention Decits in Schizophrenia Can Arise From Inhibitory Dysfunction in Thalamus or Cortex
Schizophrenia is associated with diverse cognitive deficits, including disorders of attention-related oculomotor behavior. At the structural level, schizophrenia is associated with abnormal inhibitory control in the circuit linking cortex and thalamus ...

Evidence for a magnesium-insensitive membrane resistance increase during NMDA-induced depolarizations in rat neocortical neurons in vitro [PDF]
The responses of rat neocortical neurons in vitro to iontophoretically applied N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) were investigated by means of intracellular recording in the presence and absence of extracellular magnesium ions (Mg2+). At Mg2+-concentrations of

Memory and the NMDA Receptors [PDF]
Ablating mice of Neto1, a component that stabilizes a postsynaptic glutamate receptor, results in a deficit in memory and learning — a deficit ameliorated by administration of a glutamate-receptor stimulant.

Saturated fatty acids induce insulin resistance in neurons. Neuronal metabolism of palmitic acid alters mitochondrial function. Abstract Introduction Saturated fatty acids (FAs) are the main component of high‐fat diets (HFDs), and high consumption has been associated with the development of insulin resistance, endoplasmic reticulum stress and ...

Theory for Characterization of Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation Induced by Time-Structured Stimuli [PDF]
We theoretically investigate long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus using a simple model of a neuron stimulated by three different time-structured input signals (regular, Markov, and chaotic). The synaptic efficacy change is described taking into account both N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA receptors.

C-Terminal truncation of NR2A subunits impairs synaptic but not extrasynaptic localization of NMDA receptors [PDF]
NMDA receptors interact via the extended intracellular C-terminal domain of the NR2 subunits with constituents of the postsynaptic density for purposes of retention, clustering, and functional regulation at central excitatory synapses.
