Synaptic transmission: Well-placed modulators
Metabotropic glutamate receptors are involved in the modulation of synaptic transmission; their localization in perisynaptic areas would appear to limit their activation by endogenous glutamate, but recent reports suggest that this strategic placement allows use-dependent activation of these synaptic modulators.
متن کاملNon-additive modulation of synaptic transmission by serotonin, adenosine, and cholinergic modulators in the sensory thalamus
The thalamus relays sensory information to the cortex. Oscillatory activities of the thalamocortical network are modulated by monoamines, acetylcholine, and adenosine, and could be the key features characteristic of different vigilance states. Although the thalamus is almost always subject to the actions of more than just one neuromodulators, reports on the modulatory effect of coexisting neuro...

Some centra1 effects o/ a variety of GABA related druqs (phenybut, pantogam, piracetarn, aminooxyacptic acid and sodium valproate) u)as studied on mice and rats. N o correlation was found between the total GABA content in the brain and the tranquillizing rffect displayed hy sodium valproate. Iuc3reased brain GABA level, protluced by AOAA, seem.s to be correla,ted with a genera1 " sedation " of ...
متن کاملEndogenous nonneuronal modulators of synaptic transmission control cortical slow oscillations in vivo.
Gliotransmission, the release of molecules from astrocytes, regulates neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission in situ. Whether this process affects neuronal network activity in vivo is not known. Using a combination of astrocyte-specific molecular genetics, with in vivo electrophysiology and pharmacology, we determined that gliotransmission modulates cortical slow oscillations, a rhythm...
متن کاملAnalysis of Multi-Quantum Well Electroabsorption Modulators
Electroabsorption modulators (EAMs) based on the quantum confined Stark effect have advantages in applications that require high speed, low drive voltage, and high extinction ratio. They are promising devices for external signal modulation in high-bandwidth optical communication systems. EAMs can be integrated with other devices like laser diodes, semiconductor optical amplifiers, and mode tran...
