PhotonSABER: new tool shedding light on endocytosis and learning mechanisms in vivo

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2019
In the central nervous system, activity-dependent endocytosis of postsynaptic AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPA receptors) is thought to mediate long-term depression (LTD), which is a synaptic plasticity model in various neuronal circuits.

Differential modulation of NMDA and AMPA receptors by cellular prion protein and copper ions

Molecular Brain, 2018
N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPARs) are two major types of ionotropic glutamate receptors involved in synaptic transmission.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

The multiple hit model of infantile and epileptic spasms: The 2025 update

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Infantile and epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy manifesting with epileptic spasms and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There is an urgent need for the development of more effective and tolerated therapies.

Single Channel Recordings From Synaptosomal AMPA Receptors

, 2005
Synaptic glutamate receptors play a prominent role in the excitatory neurotransmission in the vertebrate central nervous system. Although elucidation of the functional properties of glutamate receptors using electrophysiologic analyses has yielded ...

Neonatal seizures and GABAergic drugs: Scylla and Charybdis?

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Neonates have a high incidence of seizures that are frequently difficult to control with conventional first‐line anti‐seizure medications, which are gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists. The reasons for this clinical problem are multifold but are likely related to the unique physiology of the immature nervous system. Specifically, the early

Müller Glial Cells Participate in Retinal Waves via Glutamate Transporters and AMPA Receptors

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Retinal waves, the spontaneous patterned neural activities propagating among developing retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), instruct the activity-dependent refinement of visuotopic maps. Although it is known that the wave is initiated successively by

Modulation of AMPA Receptors by Nitric Oxide in Nerve Cells

, 2020
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous molecule with a large number of functions in living tissue. In the brain, NO participates in numerous intracellular mechanisms, including synaptic plasticity and cell homeostasis.

Impact of cenobamate on cortical responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation in people with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Cenobamate (CNB) is an effective antiseizure medication, though its mechanisms of efficacy remain incompletely understood. We assessed changes in cortical responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) following CNB treatment.
