Rho GTPase complementation underlies BDNF-dependent homo- and heterosynaptic plasticity

TL;DR: A three-molecule model of structural long-term potentiation (sLTP) of murine dendritic spines is described, implicating the localized, coincident activation of Rac1, RhoA and Cdc42 as a causal signal of sLTP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stress hormones and AMPA receptor trafficking in synaptic plasticity and memory.

TL;DR: The acquisition and consolidation of memories of stressful events is modulated by glucocorticoids, a type of corticosteroid hormone that is released in high levels from the adrenal glands after exposure to a stressful event as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-synaptic receptors and transporters involved in brain functions and targets of drug treatment

TL;DR: It is proposed that an effective general strategy for efficient pharmacological intervention could include the identification of specific non‐synaptic targets and the subsequent development of selective pharmacological tools to influence them.

Routes, destinations and delays: recent advances in AMPA receptor trafficking

TL;DR: Recent findings that have provided new insights into AMPAR trafficking and that might lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recurrent network activity drives striatal synaptogenesis

TL;DR: It is found that the balance of activity between the two inhibitory and antagonist pathways in the striatum regulates excitatory innervation of the basal ganglia during development, revealing an important role of positive feedback in driving network maturation.

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.
