Modelling of the effects of En1 and En2 on hippocampal cells. by Asma Soltani (4356841)

“…In normal conditions (black lines), low levels of endogenous secreted En1 (from GABA cell for instance) could participate to dendritogenesis (1), spinogenesis (2) (insert), and mTOR signaling (3) in neighbor glutamatergic neurons. In a pathological context, such as autism (red lines), a rise of En2 expression and secretion would generate additional effects, i.e. the increase in dendritic complexity of GABA cells (4), a decrease of clustered PSD95 (5), and the mispairing of glutamatergic synapses (6) (insert). …”

cGMP-Dependent Protein Kinase Type I Is Implicated in the Regulation of the Timing and Quality of Sleep and Wakefulness by Sonja Langmesser (57421)

Olfactory Bulb Glomerular NMDA Receptors Mediate Olfactory Nerve Potentiation and Odor Preference Learning in the Neonate Rat by Rebecca Lethbridge (173780)

“…<em>Ex vivo</em> experiments using bulbs from trained rat pups reveal an increase in the AMPA/NMDA EPSC ratio post-training, consistent with an increase in AMPA receptor insertion and/or the decrease in NMDAR subunits. These results support a model of a cAMP/NMDA interaction in generating rat pup odor preference learning.…”
