Synaptic transmission block by presynaptic injection of oligomeric amyloid beta.
Early Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathophysiology is characterized by synaptic changes induced by degradation products of amyloid precursor protein (APP). The exact mechanisms of such modulation are unknown. Here, we report that nanomolar concentrations of intraaxonal oligomeric (o)Abeta42, but not oAbeta40 or extracellular oAbeta42, acutely inhibited synaptic transmission at the squid giant synap...
متن کاملNatriuretic peptides block synaptic transmission by activating phosphodiesterase 2A and reducing presynaptic PKA activity.
The heart peptide hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) regulates blood pressure by stimulating guanylyl cyclase-A to produce cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). ANP and guanylyl cyclase-A are also expressed in many brain areas, but their physiological functions and downstream signaling pathways remain enigmatic. Here we investigated the physiological functions of ANP signaling in the neu...
متن کاملPresynaptic strontium dynamics and synaptic transmission.
Strontium can replace calcium in triggering neurotransmitter release, although peak release is reduced and the duration of release is prolonged. Strontium has therefore become useful in probing release, but its mechanism of action is not well understood. Here we study the action of strontium at the granule cell to Purkinje cell synapse in mouse cerebellar slices. Presynaptic residual strontium ...
متن کاملSynaptic transmission: Exciting times for presynaptic receptors
Presynaptic receptors play an important role - typically inhibitory--in modulating the strength of synaptic transmission in the brain. Recent studies now reveal that neurotransmitters can enhance synaptic strength by activating ligand-gated ion channels in presynaptic nerve endings.
متن کاملStereotaxic Infusion of Oligomeric Amyloid-beta into the Mouse Hippocampus.
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease affecting the aging population. A key neuropathological feature of the disease is the over-production of amyloid-beta and the deposition of amyloid-beta plaques in brain regions of the afflicted individuals. Throughout the years scientists have generated numerous Alzheimer's disease mouse models that attempt to replicate the amyloid-beta pathol...
