Effect of chemically induced mGluR-dependent long-term depression on dendritic spine volume
Based on extracellular field recordings and stimulations at the Schaeffer collateral-CA1 synapse, the synaptic tagging and capture (STC) model has hypothesized that at synapses that express any form of LTP and LTD (long-term potentiation and depression, respectively) are tagged in a protein …

A Study on an FMRP-Mediated Translational Switch in the MGluR-Triggered Translation of Arc and Synaptic Plasticity
The group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR)-stimulated protein synthesis and long-term synaptic depression (mGluR-LTD) are altered in a mouse model of Fragile X Syndrome, Fmr1 knockout (KO) mouse. Fmr1 encodes the Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), a dendritic RNA-binding protein …

Ruolo dei recettori 5-HT7 per la serotonina nell'attività mitocondriale e nella fisiopatologia della sindrome del cromosoma X fragile
… dei recettori metabotropi per il glutammato (mGluR-LTD). Il nostro gruppo di ricerca ha precedentemente dimostrato che l’attivazione del recettore 5-HT7 per la serotonina reverte mGluR-LTD nell’ippocampo di topi wild-type (WT) e Fmr1 KO. Pertanto, durante il mio dottorato ho studiato alcuni …

Analysis of the expression and effects of vascular endothelial growth factor family of molecules on Fragile X Syndrome abnormalities in a mouse model
… products of the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) (mGluR Theory) (Bear et al., 2004). However recent clinical trials using mGluR inhibitors have all failed, attributing to various factors such as a need for optimized dosage, developmental time for intervention, better metrics for human …

Multiple Gq-Coupled Receptors Converge on a Common Protein Synthesis-Dependent Long Term Depression That Is Affected in Fragile X Syndrome
… group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1, mGluR5) induces long-term synaptic depression (LTD) that requires rapid, dendritic protein synthesis. The significance of protein synthesis-dependent mGluR LTD to cognitive function is highlighted by the recent finding that mGluR-dependent …

Contributions of metabotropic glutamate receptors to the pathophysiology of autism
… downstream of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is a shared disruption in these disorders, and therefore may ultimately contribute to the pathophysiology of ASD in general. First, we show that multiple aspects of mGluR-mediated protein synthesis are altered in the mouse model of FX, …

Role of Medial Prefrontal Cortical Group II Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor in the Development of Cocaine Sensitization
… group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR<sub>2/3</sub>) in the development of cocaine sensitization. Initial studies demonstrated that intra-mPFC injection of the mGluR<sub>2/3</sub> receptor agonist, APDC, dose-dependently reduced acute behavioral response to cocaine (0.015-15 …

Synaptic plasticity in the MyosinVa mutant mouse
… of an RNA-binding protein into the spines upon mGluR activation [3]. We explored protein synthesis and mGluR-dcpendent LTD in flailer. The preliminary data we obtained show a transient impairment in mGluR.-LTD, suggesting a role for MyosinVa in protein synthesis dependent plasticity.

THE GROUP II METABOTROPIC GLUTAMATE AGONIST, LY379268, DECREASES METHAMPHETAMINE SELF-ADMINISTRATION IN RATS
… Group II metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonists are proposed to serve as an addiction treatment and have been shown to reduce the reinforcing properties of cocaine, but their efficacy has yet to be tested in METH. <italic>Objectives</italic>: The present study investigated the …

Dopamine-induced synaptic plasticity in the amygdala in saline-and cocaine-treated animals undergoing conditioned place preference
… D (PLD) and metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), while other studies show an interaction between dopamine receptors (DRs) and PLD. Therefore, we investigated the mechanisms of the dopamine agonist-induced synaptic plasticity that is enhanced in the amygdala due to cocaine exposure in the …

Cellular and synaptic pathophysiology in a rat model of Fragile X syndrome
… receptor mediated long-term depression (mGluR-LTD) in the hippocampus is both exaggerated (Huber et al., 2002) and independent of new protein synthesis (Nosyreva & Huber, 2006). These findings, together with studies focusing on other brain regions including the prefrontal cortex (Zhao et …

Social isolation enhances calcium signaling and synaptic plasticity in dopamine neurons of the ventral tegmental area
… augmentation of metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR)-dependent calcium (Ca²⁺) signaling via an increase in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate(IP3) sensitivity. Isolation-mediated effects on Ca²⁺ signaling and NMDAR plasticity were not reversed by a subsequent period of resocialization. Furthermore, …

The role of amygdala group I mGluRs in synaptic plasticity and conditioned place preference in rodents
… that group I metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) antagonists can block the induction of conditioned place preference (CPP), a measure of cocaine seeking behavior, but their functions after clinically relevant withdrawal periods are not known. Our study showed that group I mGluR antagonists …

The study of Murine double minute-2 (Mdm2) in regulating neuronal activity-dependent protein translation
… Group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (Gp1 mGluRs). While multiple mechanisms have been identified that contribute to elevating local synaptic translation efficiency, it remains largely unknown how Gp1 mGluR-mediated signaling regulates general protein translation. We identified a novel …

Cellular and Circuit Properties of Slow Oscillations In The Thalamic Reticular Nucleus
