Bidirectional Dysregulation of AMPA Receptor-Mediated Synaptic Transmission and Plasticity in Brain Disorders

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2020
AMPA receptors (AMPARs) are glutamate-gated ion channels that mediate the majority of fast excitatory synaptic transmission throughout the brain. Changes in the properties and postsynaptic abundance of AMPARs are pivotal mechanisms in synaptic plasticity,

Acid-Sensing Ion Channels Activated by Evoked Released Protons Modulate Synaptic Transmission at the Mouse Calyx of Held Synapse [PDF]

, 2017
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) regulate synaptic activities and play important roles in neurodegenerative diseases. We found that these channels can be activated in neurons of the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) of the auditory system in ...

Synaptic transmission as a cooperative phenomenon in confined systems [PDF]

, 2017
In this review paper, the theory of synaptic transmission (ST) was developed and discussed. We used the hypothesis of isomorphism between: (a) the cooperative behavior of mediators --- acetylcholine molecules (ACh) and cholinoreceptors in a synaptic ...

Neuromuscular synaptic function in mice lacking major subsets of gangliosides [PDF]

, 2008
Gangliosides are a family of sialylated glycosphingolipids enriched in the outer leaflet of neuronal membranes, in particular at synapses. Therefore, they have been hypothesized to play a functional role in synaptic transmission.

Methamphetamine reduces LTP and increases baseline synaptic transmission in the CA1 region of mouse hippocampus.

PLoS ONE, 2010
Methamphetamine (METH) is an addictive psychostimulant whose societal impact is on the rise. Emerging evidence suggests that psychostimulants alter synaptic plasticity in the brain--which may partly account for their adverse effects.

Male pheromones modulate synaptic transmission at the C. elegans neuromuscular junction in a sexually dimorphic manner

eLife, 2021
The development of functional synapses in the nervous system is important for animal physiology and behaviors, and its disturbance has been linked with many neurodevelopmental disorders.

Differential localization of glutamate receptor subunits at the drosophila neuromuscular junction [PDF]

, 2004
The subunit composition of postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptors is a key determinant of synaptic physiology. Two glutamate receptor subunits, Drosophila glutamate receptor IIA (DGluRIIA) and DGluRIIB, are expressed at the Drosophila neuromuscular ...

Hippocampal neurons in direct contact with astrocytes exposed to amyloid β25-35 exhibit reduced excitatory synaptic transmission

IBRO Reports, 2019
Amyloid β protein (Aβ) is closely related to the progression of Alzheimer's disease because senile plaques consisting of Aβ cause synaptic depression and synaptic abnormalities.

Tadr is an axonal histidine transporter required for visual neurotransmission in Drosophila

eLife, 2022
Neurotransmitters are generated by de novo synthesis and are essential for sustained, high-frequency synaptic transmission. Histamine, a monoamine neurotransmitter, is synthesized through decarboxylation of histidine by histidine decarboxylase (Hdc ...
