(S)- 3,5-Dihydroxyphenylglycine )an agonist for group I metabotropic glutamate receptors( induced synaptic potentiation at excitatory synapses on fast spiking GABAergic cells in visual cortex
Introduction: (S)- 3,5-Dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) is an agonist for group I metabotropic glutamate receptors. DHPG-induced synaptic depression of excitatory synapses on hippocampal pyramidal neurons is well known model for synaptic plasticity studies. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of DHPG superfusion on excitatory synapses on pyramidal and fast-spiking GABAergic cel...
متن کاملP20: The Role of Protein Kinases in Memory
When an experience is encrypted into a long-lasting memory, it is believed that specific sets of neurons in the brain of the animal undergo changes including the strengthening of preexisting synapses and the growth and maintenance of new synaptic connections. These activity-dependent synaptic changes appear to require the coordination of a variety of cellular processes in spatially separated ce...
متن کاملSynaptic and subcellular localization of A-kinase anchoring protein 150 in rat hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells: Co-localization with excitatory synaptic markers.
Excitatory and inhibitory ionotropic receptors are regulated by protein kinases and phosphatases, which are localized to specific subcellular locations by one of several anchoring proteins. One of these is the A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP150), which confers spatial specificity to protein kinase A and protein phosphatase 2B in the rat brain. The distribution of AKAP150 was examined at rat hi...
متن کاملThe development of excitatory synapses in cultured spinal neurons.
Immunohistochemical studies of synapses in the CNS have demonstrated that glutamate receptors (GluRs) are concentrated at postsynaptic sites in vivo and in vitro (Baude et al., 1995). The mechanisms leading to receptor clustering at excitatory synapses are far less understood than those governing acetylcholine receptor accumulation at the neuromuscular junction () or glycine receptor aggregatio...
متن کاملLong-term potentiation at excitatory synaptic inputs to the intercalated cell masses of the amygdala.
The intercalated cell masses (ITCs) of the amygdala are clusters of GABAergic interneurons that surround the basolateral complex of the amygdala. ITCs have been increasingly implicated in the acquisition and extinction of conditioned fear responses, but the underlying cellular mechanisms remain unexplored. Here, we report that repetitive stimulation of lateral amygdala (LA) afferents with a mod...
