Antidepressant-induced increase in GluA2 expression does not translate in changes of AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission at CA3/CA1 synapses in rats

TL;DR: In this article , the effect of trazodone and paroxetine on the expression of AMPAR subunits in male wistar rat hippocampus and whether these drugs produced a parallel facilitation of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSP) responses evoked by activation of CA3/CA1 synapses in dorsal hippocampal slices.

Estudi de dos mecanismes moleculars implicats en l’expressió local d’mRNAs en plasticitat sinàptica

Raúl Ortiz
TL;DR: La disminucio dels nivells of KIS compromet el desenvolupament de les espines dendritiques, altera les dinamiques del citoesquelet d’actina i disminueix the capacitat de resposta postsinaptica.

Inhibition of Cgkii Suppresses Seizure Activity and Hippocampal Excitation by Regulating the Postsynaptic Delivery of Glua1.

TL;DR: The results suggest that cGKII plays a key role in seizure activity and could be a potential therapeutic target for epilepsy in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and in a pilocarpine-induced rat model.

The Regulation of Extracellular Amyloid-β Levels by Ionotropic Glutamatergic Transmission in an Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Model

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analysis of the regulation of Amyloid-β Levels through Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase in an Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Model using a model derived from the AD Mouse Model.

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.
