Dual action of L-Lactate on the activity of NR2B-containing NMDA receptors: from potentiation to neuroprotection
Pierre Magistretti, Igor Allaman, Pierre Marquet, Pascal Jourdain, Kaspar Rothenfusser
L-Lactate is a positive modulator of NMDAR-mediated signaling resulting in plasticity gene induction and memory consolidation. However, L-Lactate is also able to protect neurons against excito-toxic NMDAR activity, an indication of a mitigating action of L ...
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2018Subunit-selective N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) Receptor Signaling through Brefeldin A-resistant Arf Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors BRAG1 and BRAG2 during Synapse Maturation
The maturation of glutamatergic synapses in the CNS is regulated by NMDA receptors (NMDARs) that gradually change from a GluN2B- to a GluN2A-dominated subunit composition during postnatal development. Here we show that NMDARs control the activity of the sm ...
Amer Soc Biochemistry Molecular Biology Inc2016Mathematical Modeling of Brain Energy Metabolism, Measured with PET and MRS in Rodents
Positron emission tomography (PET) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are two biomedical measurement techniques developed in the end of the XXth century, which drastically improved the amount of accessible information available in vivo. PET ...
EPFL2012Analysis of Neuronal Microcircuits in L2/3 of Mouse Barrel Cortex
Neocortical microcircuits are thought to contribute importantly to the sophisticated processing abilities of the mammalian brain. Neurons within the neocortex communicate with each other through releasing the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate or the in ...
EPFL2011Conformational dynamics of cationic cys-loop receptors
Understanding the functional dynamics of ligand-gated ion-channels (LGIC's) on the molecular level is the aim of this thesis. Members of the protein family of LGIC's are involved in the fast synaptic signal transmission and thereby play a central role in i ...
