Lead-Induced ERK Activation Is Mediated by GluR2 Non-containing AMPA Receptor in Cortical Neurons.

TL;DR: Investigation of the contribution of GluR2 non-containing AMPA receptor to lead-induced neurotoxic events indicates that Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptors resulting from GLUR2 decrease may be involved in lead- induced neurotoxicity.

Behavioral and electrophysiological changes in female mice overexpressing ORAI1 in neurons.

TL;DR: The phenotype that was observed in female mice suggests that ORAI1 overexpression may affect neuronal activity in a sex-dependent manner, and this article is part of a Special Issue entitled: ECS Meeting edited by Claus Heizmann, Joachim Krebs and Jacques Haiech.

Auxiliary Proteins are the Predominant Determinants of Differential Efficacy of Clinical Candidates Acting as AMPA Receptor Positive Allosteric Modulators.

TL;DR: It is concluded that compounds that discriminate between AMPARs complexed with distinct TARPs, and particularly those with lower stargazin/γ2 efficacy such as BIIB104, could act as viable procognitive therapeutics.

Constraint-induced movement therapy improves functional recovery after ischemic stroke and its impacts on synaptic plasticity in sensorimotor cortex and hippocampus.

TL;DR: Investigation of the impact of CIMT on synaptic plasticity in ipsilateral and contralateral brain of rats following stroke suggests that the dendrites and dendritic spines are damaged to varying degrees in bilateral sensorimotor cortex and hippocampus after acute stroke.

Mechanisms underlying the synaptic trafficking of the glutamate delta receptor GluD1

TL;DR: This work utilizes chimeric constructs, in which the ligand-binding domain of GluD1 is replaced by that of GLUK1, to examine its synaptic trafficking and plasticity, and finds that mutation of threonine T923 to an alanine disrupted synaptic trafficking.

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.

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.
