Attenuation of Neuropathic Pain by Inhibiting Electrical Synapses in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex

TL;DR: The electrical synapses blocker mefloquine could affect gamma oscillations and synaptic plasticity in the anterior cingulate cortex and relieve neuropathic pain, and may be a new therapeutic target for treating chronic pain.

mGlu1 and mGlu5 modulate distinct excitatory inputs to the nucleus accumbens shell.

TL;DR: Group I mGlu receptor regulation of PFC and MDT glutamatergic synapses onto specific populations of NAc medium spiny neurons (MSNs) using D1tdTom BAC transgenic mice and optogenetics highlights unique plasticity mechanisms regulating specific NAcSh synapses.

The Neuroprotective Role of Origanum syriacum L. and Lavandula dentata L. Essential Oils through Their Effects on AMPA Receptors

TL;DR: The data suggest that the two oils contain components that are essential to identify, as those active components underlie the oils' neuronal depressive properties reported, and to extract them to synthesize a potent neuroprotective drug to treat neurological diseases potentially.

Synapse Type-Dependent Expression of Calcium-Permeable AMPA Receptors.

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that CP-AMPARs are synapse-specifically expressed at excitatory connections onto a subset of IN types in hippocampus and neocortex, which suggests that synaptic dynamics as well as learning rules are differentially implemented in local circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stimulation of lateral hypothalamic AMPA receptors may induce feeding in rats.

TL;DR: The results did not provide evidence that AMPAR stimulation is necessary for deprivation-induced or nocturnal eating; however, they did suggest that modulatory interactions may exist between these receptors and these forms of naturally occurring eating behavior.

The glutamate receptor ion channels

TL;DR: The cloning of cDNAs encoding glutamate receptor subunits, which occurred mainly between 1989 and 1992, stimulated the development of ionotropic glutamate receptors in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloned Glutamate Receptors

TL;DR: The application of molecular cloning technology to the study of the glutamate receptor system has led to an explosion of knowledge about the structure, expression, and function of this most important fast excitatory transmitter system in the mammalian brain.

AMPA Receptor Trafficking and Synaptic Plasticity

TL;DR: The growing literature that supports a critical role for AMPA receptors trafficking in LTP and LTD is reviewed, focusing on the roles proposed for specific AMPA receptor subunits and their interacting proteins.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
