- Endocannabinoids mediate rapid retrograde signaling at interneuron right-arrow pyramidal neuron synapses of the neocortex.
- Endocannabinoid signalling selectively targets perisomatic inhibitory inputs to pyramidal neurones in juvenile mouse neocortex.
- Brief trains of action potentials enhance pyramidal neuron excitability via
- BDNF enhancement of postsynaptic NMDA receptors is blocked by ethanol.
- Differential effects of endocannabinoids on glutamatergic and GABAergic inputs to layer 5 pyramidal neurons.
- Lack of depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition (DSI) in layer 2/3 interneurons that receive cannabinoid-sensitive inhibitory inputs.
- Presynaptic and postsynaptic NMDA receptors mediate distinct effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor on synaptic transmission.
- Kalirin-7 is required for synaptic structure and function.
- BDNF evokes release of endogenous cannabinoids at layer 2/3 inhibitory synapses in the neocortex.
- Induced pluripotent stem cell models of the genomic imprinting disorders Angelman and Prader-Willi syndromes.
- Kalirin binds the NR2B subunit of the NMDA receptor, altering its synaptic localization and function.
- An 'exciting' spin on cannabinoid signalling.
- Kalirin-7 is necessary for normal NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic plasticity.
- Epileptiform activity in the CA1 region of the hippocampus becomes refractory to attenuation by cannabinoids in part because of endogenous γ-aminobutyric acid type B receptor activity.
