… to neural activity, that helps regulate the number of receptors for the neurotransmitter glutamate at excitatory … synapses or that decreased the proper cycling of glutamate receptors within synapses. The findings show how genetic …

… might require the molecular activation of their NMDA receptors. The lab had seen that knocking out the receptors across the visual cortex prevented the increase in … layers of the cortex but that it seemed to depend on NMDA receptors on a population of excitatory neurons in layer 6, …

… ganglia circuits. These deep brain circuits, which contain receptors that mediate the effects of cannabis, are known to … effects of cannabinoids. Her team recently found that CB1 receptors are tightly linked to dopamine — a neurotransmitter … a member of the McGovern Institute, will examine how CB1 receptors in the striatum, a deep brain structure implicated …

… the mammalian brain. He and his students showed that NMDA receptors trigger long ‐ term depression (LTD) as well as …

… recent work, Choi has been mapping immune system cytokine receptors across the whole mouse brain. That information has …

… neurons to communicate by disrupting the potassium ion receptors they use to regulate electric charge. Just a month … Heiman hypothesized that knocking out or blocking IL-6 receptors would therefore make Huntington’s disease model … overproduce the cytokine IL-17a. The molecule reaches receptors in the fetal brain. Cortical development in the …

… the typical weak synapse, GluRIIA and GluRIIB containing receptors were pretty much mixed together. But in strong …

… is neuromodulators. These are chemicals that upon reaching receptors within cells can influence their activity as well. … instance, might similarly attune neurons with the right receptors to certain activity or information (like maybe that …

… occurred at genomic sites related to glutocortocoid receptors. Further tests revealed that directly stimulating those hormone receptors could trigger the same DSBs that fear conditioning did and that blocking the receptors could prevent transcription of key genes after fear …
