Differential expression of an inwardly rectifying chloride conductance in rat brain neurons: a potential mechanism for cell-specific modulation of postsynaptic inhibition

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 1995
A voltage-sensitive inwardly rectifying chloride (Cl-) conductance (GCl(V) is present in hippocampal pyramidal but not dentate gyrus neurons and has a significant role in modulation of neuronal inhibition by GABA.

Pigment Epithelium‐Derived Factor Deficiency Impairs Hippocampal Glutamate Homeostasis and Cognitive Function by Downregulating Astrocytic GLT‐1

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The chronic glutamate‐induced excitotoxicity hypothesis has profoundly informed the therapeutic strategies employed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This study shows pigment epithelium‐derived factor (PEDF) regulates astrocytic glutamate transporter‐1 (GLT‐1)‐mediated glutamate homeostasis and cognition. Reduced PEDF correlates with lower Mini‐Mental State

Inhibiting Liver‐Derived C3 Protein Rescues Anesthesia/Surgery‐Induced Cognitive Impairment, Synaptic Disorders, and Microglial Phagocytosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study provides evidence that anesthesia/surgery can induce the BBB breakdown and promote the release of hepatogenous C3 protein into the blood. This surgical dual factors ultimately drove C3 to cross the damaged BBB and selectively colocalize with C3aR in the hippocampus, which results in structural and functional injury of synapse, C3aR‐mediated ...

Effects of Ketamine on Neuronal Spontaneous Excitatory Postsynaptic Currents and Miniature Excitatory Postsynaptic Currents in the Somatosensory Cortex of Rats

open access: yesIranian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016
Background: Ketamine is a commonly used intravenous anesthetic which produces dissociation anesthesia, analgesia, and amnesia. The mechanism of ketamine-induced synaptic inhibition in high-level cortical areas is still unknown.

Allosteric Modulation of Pathological Ataxin‐3 Aggregation: A Path to Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type‐3 Therapies

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers a new allosteric site in the Josephin domain of ataxin‐3 targeted by the molecular tweezer CLR01, which modulates protein aggregation, improves synaptic function in neuronal cells, and delays motor dysfunction in animal models.

Synaptic cell-adhesion molecule latrophilin-2 is differentially directed to dendritic domains of hippocampal neurons

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Hippocampal pyramidal cells possess elaborate dendritic arbors with distinct domains that are targeted with input-specific synaptic sites. This synaptic arrangement is facilitated by synaptic cell-adhesion molecules that act as recognition ...

Equilibrium Potential for the Postsynaptic Response in the Squid Giant Synapse

open access: yesThe Journal of General Physiology, 1974
The reversal potential for the EPSP in the squid giant synapse has been studied by means of an intracellular, double oil gap technique. This method allows the electrical isolation of a portion of the axon from the rest of the fiber and generates a quasi ...

Delta Opioid Receptors within the Cortico‐Thalamic Circuitry Underlie Hyperactivity Induced by High‐Dose Morphine

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Morphine activates the excitatory cingulate cortex–intermediate rostrocaudal division of zona incerta (Cg‐ZIm) pathway to drive hyperlocomotion in mice. Inhibiting the Cg‐ZIm pathway attenuates both acute and chronic morphine‐induced hyperlocomotion, while its activation mimics morphine's motor effects.

Single‐Nucleus RNA Sequencing Reveals Mid‐Gestational Neurodevelopment Features in the Superior Temporal Plane from Fetuses with Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip and Palate

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐nucleus RNA sequencing of mid‐gestation brains from fetuses with nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate reveals major disruptions in cell composition, cell‐to‐cell signaling, and gene regulation. The transcription factor MEF2C is identified as a central regulator of these changes and shows that lowering MEF2C impairs synapse formation, linking cleft ...
