Modeling the glutamate–glutamine neurotransmitter cycle
Glutamate is the principal excitatory neurotransmitter in brain. Although it is rapidly synthesized from glucose in neural tissues the biochemical processes for replenishing the neurotransmitter glutamate after glutamate release involve the glutamate-glutamine cycle. Numerous in vivo(13)C magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) experiments since 1994 by different laboratories have consistently co...
متن کاملThe Neurotransmitter Cycle and Quantal Size
Changes in the response to release of a single synaptic vesicle have generally been attributed to postsynaptic modification of receptor sensitivity, but considerable evidence now demonstrates that alterations in vesicle filling also contribute to changes in quantal size. Receptors are not saturated at many synapses, and changes in the amount of transmitter per vesicle contribute to the physiolo...
متن کاملOne Cycle Fuels Another: The Energetics of Neurotransmitter Release
In this issue of Neuron, Ashrafi et al. (2017) show that activity induces translocation of the insulin-regulated glucose transporter GLUT4 to the plasma membrane, where it sustains the ATP production required for synaptic vesicle cycling. However, translocation occurs from presynaptic membranes other than synaptic vesicles and involves a distinct molecular mechanism.
متن کاملLunar Argon Cycle Modeling
Introduction: The idea of stable deposits of volatiles in cold permanently shaded regions (PSRs), first advanced by [1], has been revived since observations by Lunar Prospector suggested large amounts of hydrogen in the polar caps. Previous studies have mainly focused on hydrogen (and water) [2] but other important volatiles such as argon could also be trapped. Temperatures in the coldest regio...
متن کاملModeling Hormonal Control of the Menstrual Cycle
This study presents a strategy for developing a mathematical model describing the concentrations of five hormones important for regulation and maintenance of the menstrual cycle. Models which correctly predict the serum levels of ovarian and pituitary hormones may assist the experimentalist by indicating directions of investigation. In addition, model simulations may be helpful for evaluating t...
