Anti-allodynic and promotive effect on inhibitory synaptic transmission of riluzole in rat spinal dorsal horn

open access: yesBiochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021
Riluzole (2-amino-6-(trifluoromethoxy)benzothiazole) is a drug known for its inhibitory effect on glutamatergic transmission and its anti-nociceptive and anti-allodynic effects in neuropathic pain rat models.

Approaches and Limitations in the Investigation of Synaptic Transmission and Plasticity

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2019
The numbers and strengths of synapses in the brain change throughout development, and even into adulthood, as synaptic inputs are added, eliminated, and refined in response to ongoing neural activity.

mGluR-dependent synaptic plasticity in drug-seeking.

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2012
A primary feature of drug addiction is the compulsive use despite negative consequences. A general consensus is emerging on the capacity of addictive substances to co-opt synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity in brain circuits which are involved ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Neuromorphic Learning towards Nano Second Precision [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Temporal coding is one approach to representing information in spiking neural networks. An example of its application is the location of sounds by barn owls that requires especially precise temporal coding. Dependent upon the azimuthal angle, the arrival

17β-Estradiol Acutely Potentiates Glutamatergic Synaptic Transmission in the Hippocampus through Distinct Mechanisms in Males and Females

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2016
Estradiol (E2) acutely potentiates glutamatergic synaptic transmission in the hippocampus of both male and female rats. Here, we investigated whether E2-induced synaptic potentiation occurs via presynaptic and/or postsynaptic mechanisms and which ...

Synaptic Transmission: Kinetics of synaptic-vesicle recycling [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 1995
The kinetics of different steps in synaptic-vesicle recycling, including exocytosis, internalization and repriming, have recently been estimated in various types of living cell.

Diverse modes of synaptic signaling, regulation, and plasticity distinguish two classes of C. elegans glutamatergic neurons

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Synaptic vesicle release properties vary between neuronal cell types, but in most cases the molecular basis of this heterogeneity is unknown. Here, we compare in vivo synaptic properties of two neuronal classes in the C.

Presynaptic Rac1 controls synaptic strength through the regulation of synaptic vesicle priming

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Synapses contain a limited number of synaptic vesicles (SVs) that are released in response to action potentials (APs). Therefore, sustaining synaptic transmission over a wide range of AP firing rates and timescales depends on SV release and replenishment.

NPY-mediated synaptic plasticity in the extended amygdala prioritizes feeding during starvation

open access: yesNature Communications
Efficient control of feeding behavior requires the coordinated adjustment of complex motivational and affective neurocircuits. Neuropeptides from energy-sensing hypothalamic neurons are potent feeding modulators, but how these endogenous signals shape ...
