Molecular pharmacology of AMPA receptor trafficking proteins - TARPs - evidence for an association with 5HT(_2c) receptors [PDF]
There has been an increasing awareness of the involvement of neurotransmitters other than serotonin in depression, with new antidepressants possessing effects on other receptor types, such as Agomelatine®, an antagonist of 5HT(_2c) receptors that ...

Ligand-binding domain determines endoplasmic reticulum exit of AMPA receptors.
AMPA receptors (AMPARs) are tetrameric ion channels that mediate rapid glutamate signaling in neurons and many non-neuronal cell types. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control mechanisms permit only correctly folded functional receptors to be ...

Paternal Circadian Disruption Impairs Offspring Cognition via Sperm microRNAs
Paternal circadian disruption remodels the sperm small RNA payload, elevating miR‐92a‐3p/miR‐25‐3p levels and perturbing early embryonic gene regulatory programs. Microinjection experiments and single‐embryo transcriptomics reveal sex‐specific developmental vulnerabilities, ultimately impairing offspring hippocampal synaptic plasticity and cognition ...

Modulating Excitatory Synaptic Neurotransmission: Potential Treatment for Neurological Disease?
Excitatory neurotransmission at many CNS synapses depends upon AMPA-type glutamate receptors. Derangements in AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission may be a contributing factor in neurological and neurodegenerative diseases and could be a target ...

PKA drives an increase in AMPA receptor unitary conductance during LTP in the hippocampus
Long-term potentiation at hippocampal CA1 synapses can be due to increasing the number and/or single-channel conductance of AMPA receptors. The authors show that PKA and CaMKII are necessary and together sufficient to increase single channel conductance,

Neuronal PKM2‐driven glycolysis generates excess lactate that triggers histone H3K18 lactylation (H3K18la), establishing a pathogenic metabolic‐epigenetic axis in epilepsy. Elevated H3K18la enriches the Cop1 promoter, transcriptionally upregulating the E3 ubiquitin ligase COP1, which subsequently drives proteasomal degradation of GABAARβ2 and impairs ...

Autoimmune Encephalitis in Acute Care—Pathology, Diagnosis, and Management
ABSTRACT Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is characterized by immune‐mediated inflammation of the brain parenchyma, presenting with various neurological syndromes, including but not limited to seizures, altered consciousness, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and movement disorders.

Assembly and Stoichiometry of the AMPA Receptor and Transmembrane AMPA Receptor Regulatory Protein Complex [PDF]
Glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain. AMPA-type glutamate receptors mediate fast excitatory transmission. AMPA receptors assemble with transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory protein (TARP) auxiliary subunits and function as native ion channels.

Structural Dynamics and Allosteric Signaling in Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors [PDF]
Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate excitatory neurotransmission events in the central nervous system. All distinct classes of iGluRs (AMPA, NMDA, Kainate) are composed of an N-terminal domain (NTD) and a ...

Slow excitatory synaptic currents generated by AMPA receptors [PDF]
Decades of literature indicate that the AMPA‐type glutamate receptor is among the fastest acting of all neurotransmitter receptors. These receptors are located at excitatory synapses, and conventional wisdom says that they activate in hundreds of ...
