P/Q-type calcium channels mediate the activity-dependent feedback of syntaxin-1A.

TL;DR: It is shown that selective influx of calcium through P/Q-type channels is responsible for activating expression of syntaxin-1A, a presynaptic protein that mediates vesicle docking, fusion and neurotransmitter release and defines an activity-dependent feedback pathway that may regulate synaptic efficacy and function in the nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid Morphologic Plasticity of Peri-Infarct Dendritic Spines After Focal Ischemic Stroke

TL;DR: These rapid changes in dendritic spine number and length may reflect an early adaptive response of potentially vulnerable peri-infarct neurons coping with postischemic spreading depression-like depolarizations and the loss of presynaptic contacts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stroke and the Connectome: How Connectivity Guides Therapeutic Intervention

TL;DR: It is suggested that new treatments for stroke may involve a rational functional and structural connections-based approach, guided by brain imaging and enabled by patient- and injury-specific brain stimulation, rehabilitation, and potential molecule-based strategies to enable new connections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential regulation of synaptic and extra-synaptic NMDA receptors

TL;DR: It is reported that calcium and tyrosine phosphorylation differentially regulate rundown of synaptic versus extrasynaptic NMDAR-mediated current in rat hippocampal pyramidal neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mesoscale Transcranial Spontaneous Activity Mapping in GCaMP3 Transgenic Mice Reveals Extensive Reciprocal Connections between Areas of Somatomotor Cortex

TL;DR: GCAMP wide-field imaging will enable longitudinal studies during plasticity paradigms or after models of CNS disease, such as stroke, where the weighting within these connectivity maps may be altered.
