Glutamate Receptor Signaling in Retina Müller Cells: Plausible Role in Neurodegeneration

Receptors
The retinal network relies on glutamate, the primary excitatory neurotransmitter involved in the visual cycle. Glutamate transactions are carried out by an array of distinct receptors and transporters distributed across both pre- and post-synaptic ...

The Hippocampus Is the Place to Be: Opioid Receptors and LTP

Cell Reports, 2019
Nam et al. (2019) genetically modulate the expression of astrocytic μ-opioid receptors to reveal they are necessary for drug-induced conditioned place preference.

FGF-2 Induces Neuronal Death through Upregulation of System xc- [PDF]

, 2014
The cystine/glutamate antiporter (system xc-) transports cystine into cell in exchange for glutamate. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) upregulates system xc- selectively on astrocytes, which leads to increased cystine uptake, the substrate for ...

The effect of combined glutamate receptor blockade in the NTS on the hypoxic ventilatory response in awake rats differs from the effect of individual glutamate receptor blockade. [PDF]

, 2014
Ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia (VAH) increases the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) and causes persistent hyperventilation when normoxia is restored, which is consistent with the occurrence of synaptic plasticity in acclimatized animals ...

Glutamate receptor expression and chronic glutamate toxicity in rat motor cortex

Neurobiology of Disease, 2007
In addition to the loss of spinal motor neurons, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is also associated with degeneration of corticospinal layer V pyramidal neurons and decreased glutamate transport in the cortex. We characterized the glutamate receptors

Alterations of Astrocytes in the Context of Schizophrenic Dementia

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
The levels of the astrocyte markers (GFAP, S100B) were increased unevenly in patients with schizophrenia. Reactive astrogliosis was found in approximately 70% of patients with schizophrenia.

Chronic cocaine enhances release of neuroprotective amino acid taurine: a microdialysis study [PDF]

, 2008
Cocaine inhibits high-affinity neurotransmitter uptake at the presynaptic nerve terminals to increase synaptic levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin^1^. This increase of synaptic dopamine may cause neurotoxicity^2,3^.

Different Sites of Alcohol Action in the NMDA Receptor GluN2A and GluN2B Subunits [PDF]

, 2015
The NMDA receptor is a major target of alcohol action in the CNS, and recent behavioral and cellular studies have pointed to the importance of the GluN2B subunit in alcohol action.
