Conventional Synapses for Unconventional Cells
Powerful synapses between climbing fibers (CF) and Purkinje cells are crucial to cerebellar motor learning. In this issue of Neuron, Lin and colleagues provide compelling evidence for the existence of direct synaptic contacts between CFs and NG2-expressing glia cells, adding to the intrigue of neuro-glial interactions.
متن کاملUnconventional Transmission at Conventional Synapses of an Inhibitory Interneuron
The AII amacrine cell (AII) is a key information hub in the retina, allowing rod-driven signals to piggyback onto cone-dominated circuitry. In this issue, Balakrishnan et al. (2015) use capacitance recordings to unravel mechanisms of inhibitory synaptic transmission by AIIs.
متن کاملOf transmission at unconventional synapses
This month's installment of Generally Physiological considers co-release of antagonistic neurotransmitters and insights into vesicle replenishment and the mechanism of neurotrans-mitter release at ribbon synapses. Brain function depends on the appropriate balance between excitatory and inhibitory signals, with gluta-mate acting as the most common ex-citatory neurotransmitter and GABA (-aminobu...
متن کاملChallenging conventional and unconventional wisdom.
Cardiologists, epidemiologists, and molecular scientists at the 48th Scientific Sessions of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) in New Orleans, La, ventured into new territory, questioning the accepted treatments for various populations of patients and promising ones that have been widely heralded as the next generation in heart disease therapy. Leading the challengers was David E. Wennber...
متن کاملConventional and Unconventional Monetary Policy
The authors extend a standard New Keynesian model to incorporate heterogeneity in spending opportunities and two sources of (potentially time-varying) credit spreads and to allow a role for the central bank’s balance sheet in equilibrium determination. They use the model to investigate the implications of imperfect financial intermediation for familiar monetary policy prescriptions, and to cons...
