Brain Dystrophin in Duchenne Dystrophy
Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 1995 To define the potential pathogenic role of dystrophin deficiency in the cognitive impairment characteristic of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the protein in brain cortical synapses of an 8-year-old patient examined at autopsy and an age-matched ...

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

Retrograde Synaptic Signaling Mediated by K+ Efflux through Postsynaptic NMDA Receptors
Cell Reports, 2013 Synaptic NMDA receptors (NMDARs) carry inward Ca2+ current responsible for postsynaptic signaling and plasticity in dendritic spines. Whether the concurrent K+ efflux through the same receptors into the synaptic cleft has a physiological role is not ...

Impairment Mechanisms and Intervention Approaches for Aged Human Neuromuscular Junctions
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020 The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a chemical synapse formed between a presynaptic motor neuron and a postsynaptic muscle cell. NMJs in most vertebrate species share many essential features; however, some differences distinguish human NMJs from others ...

Neuromorphic Learning towards Nano Second Precision [PDF]
, 2013 Temporal coding is one approach to representing information in spiking neural networks. An example of its application is the location of sounds by barn owls that requires especially precise temporal coding. Dependent upon the azimuthal angle, the arrival

Differential Effects of D-Cycloserine and ACBC at NMDA Receptors in the Rat Entorhinal Cortex Are Related to Efficacy at the Co-Agonist Binding Site. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Partial agonists at the NMDA receptor co-agonist binding site may have potential therapeutic efficacy in a number of cognitive and neurological conditions. The entorhinal cortex is a key brain area in spatial memory and cognitive processing.

GABAergic synaptic transmission regulates calcium influx during spike-timing dependent plasticity
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2010 Coincident pre- and postsynaptic activity of hippocampal neurons alters the strength of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABAA)-mediated inhibition through a Ca2+-dependent regulation of cation-chloride cotransporters.
