The cellular mechanisms regulating dopamine (DA) release in the striatum have attracted much interest in recent years. By in vitro amperometric recordings in mouse striatal slices, we show that a brief (5 min) exposure to the metabotropic glutamate ...

Quantifying constraints determining independent activation on NMDA receptors mediated currents from evoked and spontaneous synaptic transmission at an individual synapse [PDF]
A synapse acts on neural transmission through a chemical process called synapses fusion between pre-synaptic and post-synaptic terminals. Presynaptic terminals release neurotransmitters either in response to action potential or spontaneously independent of presynaptic activity.

Metabotropic glutamate receptors: Phosphorylation and receptor signaling
AbstractMetabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) play important roles in neurotransmission, neuronal development, synaptic plasticity, and neurological disorders. Recent studies have revealed a sophisticated interplay between mGluRs and protein kinases: activation of mGluRs regulates the activity of a number of kinases, and direct phosphorylation of ...

ABSTRACT The mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) orchestrates daily (circadian) rhythms of physiology and behavior by broadcasting timing cues generated autonomously by its mutually reinforcing network of ~10,000 neurons and ~3000 astrocytes. Although astrocytic control of extracellular glutamate and GABA has been implicated in driving circadian ...

The changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) in response to the activation of metabotropic receptors in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) with trans-(±)-1-amino-1,3-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid (trans-(±)-ACPD) were evaluated in ...

A biophysical network model reveals the link between deficient inhibitory cognitive control and major neurotransmitter and neural connectivity hypotheses in schizophrenia [PDF]
We address a biophysical network dynamical model to study how the modulation of dopamine (DA) activity and related N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor activity as well as the emerging Pre-Frontal Cortex (PFC) functional connectivity network (FCN) affect inhibitory cognitive function in schizophrenia in an antisaccade task.

Cross-talk and regulation between glutamate and GABAB receptors
Brain function depends on co-ordinated transmission of signals from both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters acting upon target neurons.

Crustaceans are major constituents of aquatic ecosystems and, as such, changes in their behavior and the structure and function of their bodies can serve as indicators of alterations in their immediate environment, such as those associated with climate ...
