Excitatory and inhibitory receptors utilize distinct post- and trans-synaptic mechanisms in vivo
eLife, 2021 Ionotropic neurotransmitter receptors at postsynapses mediate fast synaptic transmission upon binding of the neurotransmitter. Post- and trans-synaptic mechanisms through cytosolic, membrane, and secreted proteins have been proposed to localize ...

Potential Therapeutic Targeting Neurotransmitter Receptors in Diabetes
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Neurotransmitters are signaling molecules secreted by neurons to coordinate communication and proper function among different sections in the central neural system (CNS) by binding with different receptors.

AMPA and GABAA receptor nanodomains assemble in the absence of synaptic neurotransmitter release
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023 Postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptors and their associated scaffolding proteins assemble into discrete, nanometer-scale subsynaptic domains (SSDs) within the postsynaptic membrane at both excitatory and inhibitory synapses.

GRKs as Modulators of Neurotransmitter Receptors
Cells, 2020 Many receptors for neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, and neuropeptides, belong to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). A general model posits that GPCRs undergo two-step homologous desensitization: the

Neurotransmitter Specific, Cellular-Resolution Functional Brain Mapping Using Receptor Coated Nanoparticles: Assessment of the Possibility. [PDF]
, 2015 Receptor coated resonant nanoparticles and quantum dots are proposed to provide a cellular-level resolution image of neural activities inside the brain. The functionalized nanoparticles and quantum dots in this approach will selectively bind to different

Computational modeling of trans-synaptic nanocolumns, a modulator of synaptic transmission
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2022 Understanding synaptic transmission is of crucial importance in neuroscience. The spatial organization of receptors, vesicle release properties and neurotransmitter molecule diffusion can strongly influence features of synaptic currents. Newly discovered
