Dendritic sensitivity to the direction of synaptic firing mediated by inhibition; and, The effects of the release timecourse of neurotransmitter on synaptic transmission
… information transfer between two neurons during synaptic transmission. The project was spurred by an initial observation that neuronal communication through synapses in young and developing neuronal networks is only "half-hearted" in that signals propagate predominantly through only one type of …

Neuromuscular Synaptic Proteins In Development And Regeneration
… signaling pathway that clusters acetylcholine receptors beneath motor axon terminals, yet in vivo role of this pathway in peripheral nerve regeneration has not been examined. To determine whether this pathway is employed during regeneration, I used a previously established assay to transect …

Molecular Mechanisms Controlling Excitatory Synaptic Transmission
… neurotransmitter is released from the presynaptic cell and binds to postsynaptic receptors on another. In the case of excitatory synapses, the predominant neurotransmitter, L-glutamate, binds to postsynaptic AMPA receptors (AMPARs). Crucially, synaptic strength is plastic, and control of …

Structural insights into the GABAA receptor gating cycle
GABA<sub>A</sub> receptors are pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) that control multiple aspects of animal physiology, including the rapid inhibitory neurotransmission within the vertebrate central nervous system. They activate and desensitize in a few milliseconds, which is a crucial …

Involvement of the NMDA Receptor in Moderate Ethanol Preconditioning-Dependent Neuroprotection From Amyloid-Beta in Vitro
… possible "sensor" roles of certain cell surface receptors in MEP-mediated neuroprotection from Aβ in vitro. Specifically, Gαi protein-coupled receptors and/or glutamatergic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) have been shown to be involved in other neuroprotective preconditioning mechanisms. …
