extrasynaptic receptors - Coggle Diagram
extrasynaptic receptors
receptor terms (location
-
-
extrasynaptic
outside the synapse, on the spine neck, dendrite shaft, soma, presynaptic terminal
-
-
-
function
types
ionotropic
GluR
NMDA
electrophysiology
upon binding glutamate, lead to positive current flows if Vmem > -40 mV
-
location
with neural development, the ratio of synap to extrasynap shift
-
-
function
hippocampus
Synaptic NMDAR – Support LTP, CREB activation, and cell survival
Extrasynaptic NMDAR – Support LTD, CREB inactivation, and cell death
In the intact hippocampus, extrasynaptic NMDARs are probably only activated under pathological conditions
striatum
In slices and in vivo, striatal neurons show up state and down state activity. (to synchronize different brain region)
Activation of extrasynaptic NMDAR induces
the excited state
summary
- Brain region and cell-type specific
- Direction of synaptic plasticity
- Activation of distinct intracellular signaling cascades
- Developmental & pathological cell survival signal
- Different co-agonist binding (synaptic – d-serine, extrasynaptic –glycine
- Correlating network up-states
-
-
GABAaR
subunit composition
2 alpha, 2 beta, 1 gamma or 1 delta
delta
-
- Higher GABA sensitivity (~10nM)
-
- Smaller and slower currents
electrophysiology
inhibition
-
tonic
-
low, persistent concentration
-
-
-
metabotropic
mGluR
location
-
found at presynaptic terminal(inhibitory) and postsynaptic (excitatory (can be changed, depending on subtypes
-
-
-
-
summary
-
receptors outside the synapse can be activated by normal and pathological neural activity and serve signaling function
subunit composition determines localization, sensitivity and electrophysiology
