Acid-Sensing Ion Channels Activated by Evoked Released Protons Modulate Synaptic Transmission at the Mouse Calyx of Held Synapse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) regulate synaptic activities and play important roles in neurodegenerative diseases. We found that these channels can be activated in neurons of the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) of the auditory system in ...

Functional maps of neocortical local circuitry

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2007
This review aims to summarize data obtained with different techniques to provide a functional map of the local circuit connections made by neocortical neurones, a reference for those interested in cortical circuitry and the numerical information required

Mechanisms of synaptic depression at the hair cell ribbon synapse that support auditory nerve function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Inner hair cells (IHCs) in the cochlea are the mammalian phono-receptors, transducing sound energy into graded changes in membrane potentials, the so called “receptor potentials.” Ribbon synapses between IHCs and auditory nerve neurons are responsible ...

Modeling Calcium Dynamics and Inhibition Based Synaptic Plasticity in Dendritic Spines

open access: yesMathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2014
Inhibitory synapses through GABAergic channels not only change spine's calcium dynamics but also modulate postsynaptic current mediated through glutamate receptors.

Effects of guanidine on synaptic transmission in the spinal cord of the frog [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
The effects of guanidine on motoneurons of the isolated frog spinal cord were studied by adding the drug to the solution bathing the cord during intracellular recording. Guanidine (5·10–4 M) did not alter the membrane potential of motoneurons.

Neurotoxin A2NTX Blocks Fast Inhibitory and Excitatory Transmitter Release From Presynaptic Terminals

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
Our recent study showed a possibility that newly developed A2 type botulinum toxin (A2NTX) inhibits both spontaneous and evoked transmitter release from inhibitory (glycinergic or GABAergic) and excitatory (glutamatergic) nerve terminals using rat spinal

Facilitatory actions of guanidine on synaptic transmission in mammalian brain slices [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
Guanidine administration may be beneficial in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and related diseases; however, the actions of guanidine on the mammalian central nervous system have not been investigated.

The Diazoxide Derivative 7-Chloro-3-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-S,S-dioxide Augments AMPA- and GABA-Mediated Synaptic Responses in Cultured Hippocampal Neurons

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 1998
The diazoxide derivative 7-chloro-3-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-S,S-dioxide (IDRA21) enhances memory and learning in rodents, most likely by potentiating AMPAergic synaptic activity.

Maximum likelihood estimation of biophysical parameters of synaptic receptors from macroscopic currents

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
Dendritic integration and neuronal firing patterns strongly depend on biophysical properties of synaptic ligand-gated channels. However, precise estimation of biophysical parameters of these channels in their intrinsic environment is complicated and ...

Enhanced functional detection of synaptic calcium-permeable AMPA receptors using intracellular NASPM

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Calcium-permeable AMPA-type glutamate receptors (CP-AMPARs) contribute to many forms of synaptic plasticity and pathology. They can be distinguished from GluA2-containing calcium-impermeable AMPARs by the inward rectification of their currents, which ...
