Acute reorganization of postsynaptic GABAA receptors reveals the functional impact of molecular nanoarchitecture at inhibitory synapses

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Neurotransmitter receptors partition into nanometer-scale subdomains within the postsynaptic membrane that are precisely aligned with presynaptic neurotransmitter release sites.

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.

Systematic Analysis of Neurotransmitter Receptors in Human Breast Cancer Reveals a Strong Association With Outcome and Uncovers HTR6 as a Survival-Associated Gene Potentially Regulating the Immune Microenvironment

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Many epidemiological reports have indicated an increase in the incidence of breast cancer among psychotic patients, suggesting that the targets of antipsychotics, neurotransmitter receptors, may have a role in tumorigenesis.

Immunoreactivity of Muscarinic Acetylcholine M2 and Serotonin 5-HT2B Receptors, Norepinephrine Transporter and Kir Channels in a Model of Epilepsy

Life, 2021
Epilepsy is characterized by an imbalance in neurotransmitter activity; an increased excitatory to an inhibitory activity. Acetylcholine (ACh), serotonin, and norepinephrine (NE) may modulate neural activity via several mechanisms, mainly through its ...

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.

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

Neurochemical Organization of the Drosophila Brain Visualized by Endogenously Tagged Neurotransmitter Receptors

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Neurotransmitters often have multiple receptors that induce distinct responses in receiving cells. Expression and localization of neurotransmitter receptors in individual neurons are therefore critical for understanding the operation of neural ...

Evidence for a GABAergic system in rodent and human testis: Local GABA production and GABA receptors [PDF]

, 2003
The major neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), exerts its actions through GABA(A), GABA(B) and GABA(C) receptors.

Organisational and neuromodulatory underpinnings of structural-functional connectivity decoupling in patients with Parkinson’s disease

Communications Biology, 2021
Zarkali et al. identify two organizational gradients to structural-functional connectivity decoupling in Parkinson’s disease and relate spatial patterns of decoupling to the expression of neurotransmitter receptors.
