Transcriptional Control of Synaptic Plasticity by Transcription Factor NF-κB by Christian Engelmann, Ronny Haenold

“…Activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) transcription factors is required for the induction of synaptic plasticity and memory formation. All components of this signaling pathway are localized at synapses, and transcriptionally active NF-κB dimers move to the nucleus to translate synaptic signals into altered gene expression. …”

Synaptic modulation of glutamate in striatum of the YAC128 mouse model of Huntington disease by Judy Cheng, Ellen T. Koch, Daniel Ramandi, James P. Mackay, Timothy P. O’Leary, William Rees-Jones, Lynn A. Raymond

“…While degeneration of striatal D2-type dopamine receptor (D2)-expressing indirect pathway medium spiny neurons (iMSNs) occurs prior to that of D1-type dopamine receptor (D1)-expressing direct pathway neurons, altered corticostriatal synaptic function precedes degeneration. D2-mediated signaling on iMSNs reduces their excitability and promotes endocannabinoid (eCB) synthesis, suppressing glutamate release from cortical afferents. …”

Translaminar synchronous neuronal activity is required for columnar synaptic strengthening in the mouse neocortex by John Vargas-Ortiz, Lin Lin, Vena K. Martinez, Rong-jian Liu, Rachel Babij, Zhe Ran S. Duan, Sam Wacks, Liyuan Sun, Amanda Wang, Sajida Khan, John Lee Soto-Vargas, Natalia V. De Marco García, Alicia Che

“…Monosynaptic rabies tracing and slice electrophysiology experiments reveal that layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons receive significant layer 5 inputs during the first postnatal week, and silencing layer 5 synaptic outputs results in a significant reduction in spontaneous activity, abnormal sensory-evoked activity and disrupted layer 4-layer 2/3 connectivity. …”
