Journal ArticleDOI
Synaptopathies: synaptic dysfunction in neurological disorders - A review from students to students
Katarzyna Lepeta,Mychael V. Lourenco,Barbara Schweitzer,Pamela V. Martino Adami,Priyanjalee Banerjee,Silvina Catuara-Solarz,Mario de la Fuente Revenga,Alain M. Guillem,Mouna Haidar,Omamuyovwi M. Ijomone,Bettina Nadorp,Lin Qi,Nirma D Perera,Louise K. Refsgaard,Kimberley M. Reid,Mariam Sabbar,Arghyadip Sahoo,Natascha Schaefer,Rebecca K. Sheean,Anna Suska,Rajkumar Verma,Cinzia Vicidomini,Dean J. Wright,Xingding Zhang,Constanze I. Seidenbecher +24 more
TL;DR: Basic concepts of synapse structure and function are discussed, and a critical view of how aberrant synapse physiology may contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders as well as neurodegenerative disorders are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hyaluronan-based extracellular matrix under conditions of homeostatic plasticity.
Juan Carlos Valenzuela,Christopher Heise,Gilbert Franken,Jeet Singh,Barbara Schweitzer,Constanze I. Seidenbecher,Renato Frischknecht +6 more
TL;DR: Increased brevican processing at inhibitory as well as excitatory synapses is found, which is in line with the ADAMTS4 subcellular localization, suggesting that the ECM is remodelled in conditions of homeostatic plasticity, which may liberate synapses to allow for a higher degree of structural plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hyaluronic acid based extracellular matrix regulates surface expression of GluN2B containing NMDA receptors
Barbara Schweitzer,Jeet Singh,Anna Fejtova,Anna Fejtova,Laurent Groc,Martin Heine,Renato Frischknecht,Renato Frischknecht +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that maturation of ECM could induce switch in NMDAR composition necessary for normal adult synaptic plasticity and that increased expression of GluN2B contributes to rejuvenation of plasticity after ECM removal in vivo.
