Corticosteroid effects on glutamatergic transmission and fear memory

Hui Xiong
TL;DR: It is reported that corticosteroid hormones regulate the function, mobility, and expression of AMPA receptors, and retention ofAMPA receptors at synapses is critical for the memory enhancing effects of stress, and it is found that cortiosteroid hormone enhance the function of NMDA receptors.

Long-term potentiation and spatial memory training stimulate the hippocampal expression of RyR2 calcium release channels

TL;DR: In this paper , it was shown that the increments in the protein content of RyR2 Ca2+ release channels, induced by LTP or spatial memory training, play a significant role in hippocampal synaptic plasticity and spatial memory consolidation.

GluA3 subunits are required for appropriate assembly of AMPAR GluA2 and GluA4 subunits on cochlear afferent synapses and for presynaptic ribbon modiolar–pillar morphology

- 17 Jan 2023 - 
TL;DR: In this paper , a 5-week-old male C57BL/6J Gria3-knockout mice (i.e., subunit GluA3KO) were determined cochlear function, synapse ultrastructure, and AMPAR molecular anatomy at ribbon synapses between inner hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons.

Driving AMPA Receptors into Synapses by LTP and CaMKII: Requirement for GluR1 and PDZ Domain Interaction

TL;DR: Results show that LTP and CaMKII activity drive AMPA-Rs to synapses by a mechanism that requires the association between GluR1 and a PDZ domain protein.

RNA editing in brain controls a determinant of ion flow in glutamate-gated channels.

TL;DR: It is shown that the genomic DNA sequences encoding the particular channel segment of all subunits harbor a glutamine codon (CAG), even though an arginine codon is found in mRNAs of three subunits.
