Neuromuscular synaptic transmission in aged ganglioside-deficient mice [PDF]
Gangliosides are sialylated glycosphingolipids that are present in high density on neuronal membranes, especially at synapses, where they are assumed to play functional or modulating roles.

mGluR-dependent synaptic plasticity in drug-seeking.
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 ...

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

A Chemical Master Equation Model for Synaptic Molecular Communication [PDF]
In synaptic molecular communication, the activation of postsynaptic receptors by neurotransmitters (NTs) is governed by a stochastic reaction-diffusion process and, hence, inherently random. It is currently not fully understood how this randomness impacts downstream signaling in the target cell and, ultimately, neural computation and learning.

Inhibition of synaptic transmission and G protein modulation by synthetic CaV2.2 Ca2+ channel peptides [PDF]
: Modulation of presynaptic voltage-dependent Ca+ channels is a major means of controlling neurotransmitter release. The CaV 2.2 Ca2+ channel subunit contains several inhibitory interaction sites for Gβγ subunits, including the amino terminal (NT) and I ...

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]
The kinetics of different steps in synaptic-vesicle recycling, including exocytosis, internalization and repriming, have recently been estimated in various types of living cell.

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.

Changes in Synaptic Transmission and Long-term Potentiation Induction as a Possible Mechanism for Learning Disability in an Animal Model of Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]
Purpose: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. It has been shown that memory deficits is common in patients with MS.

Determining the neurotransmitter concentration profile at active synapses [PDF]
Establishing the temporal and concentration profiles of neurotransmitters during synaptic release is an essential step towards understanding the basic properties of inter-neuronal communication in the central nervous system.
