Regulation of AMPA receptors in spinal nociception [PDF]
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]
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. In glutamatergic neurons, synaptic strength is controlled by the number and function of AMPA receptors at the ...

Stargazin Modulation of AMPA Receptors [PDF]
Fast excitatory synaptic signaling in the mammalian brain is mediated by AMPA-type ionotropic glutamate receptors. In neurons, AMPA receptors co-assemble with auxiliary proteins, such as stargazin, which can markedly alter receptor trafficking and gating.

Regulation of AMPA Receptors by Phosphorylation [PDF]
The AMPA receptors for glutamate are oligomeric structures that mediate fast excitatory responses in the central nervous system. Phosphorylation of AMPA receptors is an important mechanism for short-term modulation of their function, and is thought to play an important role in synaptic plasticity in different brain regions.

At CA1→subiculum synapses, alternatively spliced neurexin-1 (Nrxn1SS4+) and neurexin-3 (Nrxn3SS4+) enhance NMDA-receptors and suppress AMPA-receptors, respectively, without affecting synapse formation.

SAD-B modulates epileptic seizure by regulating AMPA receptors in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and in the PTZ-induced epileptic model [PDF]
α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors are the predominant mediators of glutamate-induced excitatory neurotransmission.

AMPA Receptors Bring On the Pain [PDF]
The role of Ca(2+)-permeable AMPA receptors in pain processing has not been extensively studied. In this issue of Neuron, Hartmann et al. show that altering the levels of these receptors has consequences for inflammatory pain hypersensitivity but not acute pain processing.

Nomadic AMPA Receptors and LTP [PDF]
What are the broader implications of these two reports? One feature of LTP is its reversibility: once established, application of low-frequency stimulus train can decrease the synaptic strength. When applied to naive synapyses (i.e., in fresh brain slices), such low frequency stimulation induces a long-lasting depression of synaptic responses known as ...

Reconsolidation has been considered a process in which a consolidated memory is turned into a labile stage. Within the reconsolidation window, the labile memory can be either erased or strengthened.

AMPA receptor trafficking and learning [PDF]
AbstractIn the last few years it has become clear that AMPA‐type glutamate neurotransmitter receptors are rapidly transported into and out of synapses to strengthen or weaken their function. The remarkable dynamics of AMPA receptor (AMPAR) synaptic localization provides a compelling mechanism for understanding the cellular basis of learning and memory,
