Intrinsic and synaptic adaptations in neuronal ensembles following recall of appetitive associative memories: investigations in the striatum and prefrontal cortex with the Fos-GFP mouse

TL;DR: By selectively recording from stimuli-activated neurons, this work reveals novel adaptations at the intrinsic and synaptic levels on neuronal ensembles following appetitive learning with both food and drug rewards.

The role of post-translational modifications in synaptic AMPA receptor activity.

TL;DR: In this paper , the diversity of mechanisms involved in post-translational modification of AMPA receptor subunits, and their impact on the subcellular distribution and synaptic activity of the receptors are discussed.

Protein kinase D promotes activity-dependent AMPA receptor endocytosis in hippocampal neurons

TL;DR: In this article, the protein kinase D (PKD) family was shown to promote AMPAR endocytosis in primary hippocampal neurons, and pharmacological inhibition of PKD increased synaptic levels of GluA1-containing AMPARs and slowed down their endocytic trafficking.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Noonan syndrome-associated D61G variant of the protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 prevents synaptic down-scaling.

TL;DR: It is found that synaptic SHP2 levels are temporally regulated during synaptic down-scaling in cultured hippocampal neurons and a molecular mechanism of the Noonan syndrome-associated genetic variant SHp2-D61G that contributes to deficient synaptic down -scaling is revealed.

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.

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.
