Newest firstSynaptic transmission is dynamically regulated by neuromodulators. One well-studied example is cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R)-mediated suppression of neurotransmitter release by reducing presynaptic Ca2+ influx. Recently, GPR55 was shown to regulate transmitter release through a mechanism distinct from that of CB1R. However, the presynaptic role of cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) remains unclear. Here we st…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Although ataxia is associated with cerebellar dysfunction, little is known about the effects of 3-AP exposure on Purkinje cell electrophysiological properties. Here, we evaluated these parameters in cerebellar vermis brain slices. Methods Purkinje cells were exposed to artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) (control) or to 1 mM 3-acetylpyridine (3-AP) in the recording chamber. The effects of a cannabin…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is the major neuromodulator orchestrating the stress response, and is secreted by neurons in various regions of the brain. Cerebellar CRF is released by afferents from inferior olivary neurons and other brainstem nuclei in response to stressful challenges, and contributes to modulation of synaptic plasticity and motor learning behavior via its receptors. We recently…
