A theory of synaptic transmission [PDF]

eLife, 2021
Rapid and precise neuronal communication is enabled through a highly synchronous release of signaling molecules neurotransmitters within just milliseconds of the action potential.

Synaptic Transmission

Harvard Data Science Review, 2018
In this chapter, we will first discuss chemical synapses, which use chemical signaling to convey information between the pre- and postsynaptic neurons, and then we will look at electrical synapses, which are a more basic but important second type of synapse that relies on direct electrical signaling.

Actin maintains synaptic transmission by restraining vesicle release probability [PDF]

iScience
Summary: Despite decades of pharmacological studies, how the ubiquitous cytoskeletal actin regulates synaptic transmission remains poorly understood. We addressed this issue with a tissue-specific knockout of actin β-isoform or γ-isoform, combined with ...

Modulation of synaptic transmission through O-GlcNAcylation [PDF]

Molecular Brain
O-GlcNAcylation is a posttranslational modification where N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is attached and detached from a serine/threonine position by two enzymes: O-GlcNAc transferase and O-GlcNAcase.

Turbocharging synaptic transmission

FEBS Letters, 2023
Evidence from biochemistry, genetics, and electron microscopy strongly supports the idea that a ring of Synaptotagmin is central to the clamping and release of synaptic vesicles (SVs) for synchronous neurotransmission. Recent direct measurements in cell‐free systems suggest there are 12 SNAREpins in each ready‐release vesicle, consisting of six ...

The role of thrombin in early-onset seizures

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
A variety of clinical observations and studies in animal models of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) reveal dysfunction of blood-brain barrier (BBB) during seizures.

A Common Human Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Polymorphism Leads to Prolonged Depression of Excitatory Synaptic Transmission by Isoflurane in Hippocampal Cultures

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Multiple presynaptic and postsynaptic targets have been identified for the reversible neurophysiological effects of general anesthetics on synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability. However, the synaptic mechanisms involved in persistent depression

An ex vivo Model of Paired Cultured Hippocampal Neurons for Bi-directionally Studying Synaptic Transmission and Plasticity

Bio-Protocol, 2023
Synapses provide the main route of signal transduction within neuronal networks. Many factors regulate critical synaptic functions. These include presynaptic calcium channels, triggering neurotransmitter release, and postsynaptic ionotropic receptors ...
