The AMPA glutamate receptor (AMPAR) is the major type of synaptic excitatory ionotropic receptor in the brain. AMPARs have four different subunits, GluA1–4 (each encoded by different genes, Gria1, Gria2, Gria3 and Gria4), that can form distinct ...

Pentraxins coordinate excitatory synapse maturation and circuit integration of parvalbumin interneurons [PDF]
This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from the publisher via the DOI in this record.Circuit computation requires precision in the timing, extent, and synchrony of principal cell (PC) firing that is largely enforced by ...

Feedforward inhibition is essential to prevent run away excitation within the brain. Recent evidence suggests that a loss of feed-forward inhibition in the corticothalamocortical circuitry may underlie some absence seizures.

TARP γ-7 selectively enhances synaptic expression of calcium-permeable AMPARs [PDF]
Regulation of calcium-permeable AMPA receptors (CP-AMPARs) is crucial in normal synaptic function and neurological disease states. Although transmembrane AMPAR regulatory proteins (TARPs) such as stargazin (γ-2) modulate the properties of calcium ...

TARP γ-2 is required for inflammation-associated AMPA receptor plasticity within lamina II of the spinal cord dorsal horn [PDF]
In the brain, transmembrane AMPA receptor (AMPAR) regulatory proteins (TARPs) critically influence the distribution, gating, and pharmacology of AMPARs, but the contribution of these auxiliary subunits to AMPAR-mediated signaling in the spinal cord ...

Auxiliary subunits keep AMPA receptors compact during activation and desensitization
Signal transduction at vertebrate excitatory synapses involves the rapid activation of AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate) receptors, glutamate-gated ion channels whose four subunits assemble as a dimer-of-dimers.

Glutamatergic Reinnervation and Assembly of Glutamatergic Synapses in Adult Rat Skeletal Muscle Occurs at Cholinergic Endplates [PDF]
After denervation of adult rat abdominal muscles, the postsynaptic apparatus of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) retains its original architecture and clustering of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs).

LGI1 downregulation increases neuronal circuit excitability
Abstract Objective Leucine‐rich glioma‐inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a secreted transsynaptic protein that interacts presynaptically with Kv1.1 potassium channels and a disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) protein 23, and postsynaptically influences α‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methylisoxazole‐4‐propionate receptors through a direct link with the ADAM22 cell ...
