Cryoelectron tomography (cryo-ET) enables three-dimensional visualization of molecular structures within tissue and intact cells, providing a powerful tool for studying the spatial organization of biological components at nanometer resolution. Realiz...
GluN3A-containing NMDA receptors have recently emerged as promising therapeutic targets for neurological disorders. However, discovering potent modulators remains a significant challenge, primarily due to the limitations of traditional high-throughpu...
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), a subclass of glutamate-gated ion channels, play an integral role in the maintenance of synaptic plasticity and excitation-inhibition balance within the central nervous system (CNS). Any irregularities in NMDA...
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are heterotetrameric ion channels that play crucial roles in brain function. Among all the NMDAR subtypes, GluN1-N3 receptors exhibit unique agonist binding and gating properties. Unlike "conventional" GluN1-N2...
The GluN1/GluN3A receptor, a unique excitatory glycine receptor recently identified in the central nervous system, challenges traditional perspectives of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor diversity and glycinergic signaling. Its role in emotional ...
N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) belong to the ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) superfamily and act as coincidence detectors that are crucial to neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. They typically assemble as heterotetramers of...
Utilizing recent advances in machine learning, we introduce a systematic approach to characterize neurons' input/output (I/O) mapping complexity. Deep neural networks (DNNs) were trained to faithfully replicate the I/O function of various biophysical...
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) presents a significant health concern with potential persisting deficits that can last decades. Although a growing body of literature improves our understanding of the brain network response and corresponding underl...
Classic serotonergic psychedelics are remarkable for their capacity to induce reversible alterations in consciousness of the self and the surroundings, mediated by agonism at serotonin 5-HT receptors. The subjective effects elicited by dissociative d...
This letter examines the results of input-output (nonparametric) modeling based on the analysis of data generated by a mechanism-based (parametric) model of CA3-CA1 neuronal connections in the hippocampus. The motivation is to obtain biological insig...
