GluA2-lacking AMPA receptors in hippocampal CA1 cell synapses: evidence from gene-targeted mice [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2012 The GluA2 subunit in heteromeric AMPA receptor channels restricts Ca2+ permeability and block by polyamines, rendering linear the current-voltage relationship of these glutamate-gated cation channels.

Regulation of AMPA receptors in spinal nociception [PDF]
Molecular Pain, 2010 The functional properties of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methy-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA) receptors in different brain regions, such as hippocampus and cerebellum, have been well studied in vitro and in vivo. The AMPA receptors present a unique characteristic

AMPA receptors and their minions: auxiliary proteins in AMPA receptor trafficking [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2019 To correctly transfer information, neuronal networks need to continuously adjust their synaptic strength to extrinsic stimuli. This ability, termed synaptic plasticity, is at the heart of their function and is, thus, tightly regulated.

Fear Memory Retrieval Is Associated With a Reduction in AMPA Receptor Density at Thalamic to Amygdala Intercalated Cell Synapses [PDF]
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2021 The amygdala plays a crucial role in attaching emotional significance to environmental cues. Its intercalated cell masses (ITC) are tight clusters of GABAergic neurons, which are distributed around the basolateral amygdala complex.

Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors in Epilepsy: A Review Focusing on AMPA and NMDA Receptors
Biomolecules, 2020 It is widely accepted that glutamate-mediated neuronal hyperexcitation plays a causative role in eliciting seizures. Among glutamate receptors, the roles of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA ...

Glycine Potentiates AMPA Receptor Function through Metabotropic Activation of GluN2A-containing NMDA Receptors [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2016 NMDA receptors are Ca2+-permeable ion channels. The activation of NMDA receptors requires agonist glutamate and co-agonist glycine. Recent evidence indicates that NMDA receptor also has metabotropic function.

The essential role of AMPA receptor GluR2 subunit RNA editing in the normal and diseased brain [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2012 AMPA receptors are comprised of different combinations of GluR1-GluR4 (also known as GluA1-GluA4 and GluR-A to GluR-D) subunits. The GluR2 subunit is subject to Q/R site RNA editing by the ADAR2 enzyme, which converts a codon for glutamine (Q), present ...

Residence times of receptors in dendritic spines analyzed by simulations in empirical domains [PDF]
, 2014 Analysis of high-density superresolution imaging of receptors reveal the organization of dendrites at the nano-scale resolution. We present here simulations in empirical live cell images, which allows converting local information extracted from short range trajectories into simulations of long range trajectories.
