Enhanced Non-Associative Long-Term Potentiation in Immature Granule Cells in the Dentate Gyrus of Adult Rats
The dentate gyrus is one of the few sites of neurogenesis in the adult brain. Integration of new-generated granule cells into the hippocampal circuitry provides a substrate for structural plasticity, fundamental for normal function of adult hippocampus. However, mechanisms of synaptic plasticity…

Correlative Live-Cell and Super-Resolution Imaging to Link Presynaptic Molecular Organisation With Function
Information transfer at synapses occurs when vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane to release neurotransmitters, which then bind to receptors at the postsynaptic membrane. The process of neurotransmitter release varies dramatically between different synapses, but little is known about how this…

Palmitoylation-regulated interactions of the pseudokinase calmodulin kinase-like vesicle-associated with membranes and Arc/Arg3.1
Calmodulin kinase-like vesicle-associated (CaMKv), a pseudokinase belonging to the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase family, is expressed predominantly in brain and neural tissue. It may function in synaptic strengthening during spatial learning by promoting the stabilization and enrichment of…

Activity-Dependent Modulation of Tonic GABA Currents by Endocannabinoids in Hirudo verbana
Endocannabinoids are lipid neuromodulators that are synthesized on demand and primarily signal in a retrograde manner to elicit depression of excitatory and inhibitory synapses. Despite the considerable interest in their potential analgesic effects, there is evidence that endocannabinoids can have…

AMPA Receptor Function in Hypothalamic Synapses
AMPA receptors (AMPARs) are critical for mediating glutamatergic synaptic transmission and plasticity, thus playing a major role in the molecular machinery underlying cellular substrates of memory and learning. Their expression pattern, transport and regulatory mechanisms have been extensively…

Resilient Hippocampal Gamma Rhythmogenesis and Parvalbumin-Expressing Interneuron Function Before and After Plaque Burden in 5xFAD Alzheimer’s Disease Model
Recent studies have implicated impaired Parvalbumin Fast-Spiking Interneuron (PVIN) function as a precipitating factor underlying abnormalities in network synchrony, oscillatory rhythms, and cognition associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, a complete developmental investigation of…

Visualizing Presynaptic Active Zones and Synaptic Vesicles
The presynaptic active zone (AZ) of chemical synapses is a highly dynamic compartment where synaptic vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release take place. During evolution the AZ was optimized for speed, accuracy, and reliability of chemical synaptic transmission in combination with…

Patch-to-Seq and Transcriptomic Analyses Yield Molecular Markers of Functionally Distinct Brainstem Serotonin Neurons
Acute regulation of CO2 and pH homeostasis requires sensory feedback from peripheral (carotid body) and central (central) CO2/pH sensitive cells – so called respiratory chemoreceptors. Subsets of brainstem serotonin (5-HT) neurons in the medullary raphe are CO2 sensitive or insensitive based on…

Neurexins and their ligands at inhibitory synapses
Since the discovery of neurexins (Nrxns) as essential and evolutionarily conserved synaptic adhesion molecules, focus has largely centered on their functional contributions to glutamatergic synapses. Recently, significant advances to our understanding of neurexin function at GABAergic synapses have…

Regulation of Inhibitory Signaling at the Receptor and Cellular Level; Advances in Our Understanding of GABAergic Neurotransmission and the Mechanisms by Which It Is Disrupted in Epilepsy
Inhibitory signaling in the brain organizes the neural circuits that orchestrate how living creatures interact with the world around them and how they build representations of objects and ideas. Without tight control at multiple points of cellular engagement, the brain’s inhibitory systems would…

Vagally-mediated heart block after myocardial infarction associated with plasticity of epicardial neurons controlling the atrioventricular node
Imbalances in the opposing actions of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves controlling the heart enhance risk for arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death after myocardial infarction (MI). Plasticity in peripheral neuron function may underlie the observed changes in cardiomotor nerve activity. We…

Membrane lipid rafts are required for AMPA receptor tyrosine phosphorylation
Membrane lipid rafts are sphingolipids and cholesterol-enriched membrane microdomains, which form a center for the interaction or assembly of palmitoylated signaling molecules, including Src family non-receptor type protein tyrosine kinases. Lipid rafts abundantly exist in neurons and function in…

Heightened sympathetic neuron activity and altered cardiomyocyte properties in spontaneously hypertensive rats during the postnatal period
The Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR) has increased sympathetic drive to the periphery that precedes and contributes to the development of high blood pressure, making it a useful model for the study of neurogenic hypertension. Comparisons to the normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rat have…

Synaptic spinules are reliable indicators of excitatory presynaptic bouton size and strength and are ubiquitous components of excitatory synapses in CA1 hippocampus
Synaptic spinules are thin, finger-like projections from one neuron that become embedded within the presynaptic or postsynaptic compartments of another neuron. While spinules are conserved features of synapses across the animal kingdom, their specific function(s) remain unknown. Recent focused ion…

Ameliorative Potential of Hot Compress on Sciatic Nerve Pain in Chronic Constriction Injury-Induced Rat Model
Hot compress modalities are used to ameliorate pain despite prevalent confusion about which modality should be used and when. Most recommendations for hot compresses are based on empirical experience, with limited evidence to support its efficacy. To obtain insight into the nerve transmission…
