Open AccessTau is required for progressive synaptic and memory deficits in a transgenic mouse model of α-synucleinopathy
Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are clinically and neuropathologically highly related α-synucleinopathies that collectively constitute the second leading cause of neurode...

Actin at the Synapse: Contribution to Pre- and Postsynaptic Functions
Synapses are specialized intercellular junctions through which one neuron sends signals to another neuron or a non-neuronal excitable cell. In the central nervous system (CNS), electrical signals can be propag...

Bidirectional Effects of Fentanyl on Dendritic Spines and AMPA Receptors Depend Upon the Internalization of Mu Opioid Receptors
Fentanyl is a frequently used and abused opioid analgesic and can cause internalization of mu opioid receptors (MORs). Receptor internalization modulates the signaling pathways of opioid receptors. As changes ...

Regulation of morphological postsynaptic silent synapses in develo** hippocampal neurons
Many excitatory synapses are thought to be postsynaptically 'silent', possessing functional NMDA but lacking functional AMPA glutamate receptors. The acquisition of AMPA receptors at silent synap...

Activation of postsynaptically silent synapses during pairing-induced LTP in CA1 region of hippocampal slice
LONG-TERM potentiation (LTP) is an enhancement of synaptic strength that can be produced by pairing of presynaptic activity with postsynaptic depolarization1. LTP in the hippocampus has been extensively studied a...
