Glycine and GABA receptors in the mammalian retina
Molecular cloning has introduced an unexpected diversity of neurotransmitter receptors. In this study we review the types, the localization and possible synaptic function of the inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian retina. Glycine receptors (GlyRs) and their localization in the mammalian retina were analyzed immunocytochemically. Specific antibodies against the alpha 1 subunit...
متن کاملSelective clustering of GABA(A) and glycine receptors in the mammalian retina.
Molecular cloning has revealed a multiplicity of neurotransmitter receptor isoforms with different subunit compositions. Additionally, there is growing evidence that such receptors are clustered at postsynaptic sites of neurons. Thus, the questions arise whether individual neurons express different receptor isoforms and, if so, whether different isoforms are present within the same cluster or a...
متن کاملElectrical Coupling between Mammalian Cones
BACKGROUND Cone photoreceptors are noisy because of random fluctuations of photon absorption, signaling molecules, and ion channels. However, each cone's noise is independent of the others, whereas their signals are partially shared. Therefore, electrically coupling the synaptic terminals prior to forward transmission and subsequent nonlinear processing can appreciably reduce noise relative to ...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of NMDA receptors by d-serine and glycine in mammalian spinal locomotor networks
Activation of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) requires the binding of a coagonist, either d-serine or glycine, in addition to glutamate. Changes in occupancy of the coagonist binding site are proposed to modulate neural networks including those controlling swimming in frog tadpoles. Here, we characterize regulation of the NMDAR coagonist binding site in mammalian spinal locomotor networ...
متن کاملPrevalence of Active and Passive Smoking among Adult Population: Findings of a Population-Based Survey in Kerman (KERCADR), Iran
Background: Smoking is one of the major modifiable non-communicable disease risk factors. Our aim was to report the pattern of active and passive smoking using the data collected through a population base household survey in Kerman, Iran. Methods: Given a cluster random sampling design, we recruited 5900 adult populations (15-75 years old) into a survey. After consenting, every participant was ...
