Synaptic and circuit functions of multitransmitter neurons in the mammalian brain

ML Wallace, BL Sabatini - Neuron, 2023 - cell.com
Neurons in the mammalian brain are not limited to releasing a single neurotransmitter but
often release multiple neurotransmitters onto postsynaptic cells. Here, we review recent …

From glutamate co-release to vesicular synergy: vesicular glutamate transporters

S El Mestikawy, Å Wallén-Mackenzie… - Nature Reviews …, 2011 - nature.com
Recent data indicate that'classical'neurotransmitters can also act as co-transmitters. This
notion has been strengthened by the demonstration that three vesicular glutamate …

Molecular interrogation of hypothalamic organization reveals distinct dopamine neuronal subtypes

RA Romanov, A Zeisel, J Bakker, F Girach… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
The hypothalamus contains the highest diversity of neurons in the brain. Many of these
neurons can co-release neurotransmitters and neuropeptides in a use-dependent manner …

Chemoconnectomics: mapping chemical transmission in Drosophila

B Deng, Q Li, X Liu, Y Cao, B Li, Y Qian, R Xu, R Mao… - Neuron, 2019 - cell.com
We define the chemoconnectome (CCT) as the entire set of neurotransmitters,
neuromodulators, neuropeptides, and their receptors underlying chemotransmission in an …

Single rodent mesohabenular axons release glutamate and GABA

DH Root, CA Mejias-Aponte, S Zhang, HL Wang… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
The lateral habenula (LHb) is involved in reward, aversion, addiction and depression
through descending interactions with several brain structures, including the ventral …

Dopaminergic and glutamatergic microdomains in a subset of rodent mesoaccumbens axons

S Zhang, J Qi, X Li, HL Wang, JP Britt, AF Hoffman… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Mesoaccumbens fibers are thought to co-release dopamine and glutamate. However, the
mechanism is unclear, and co-release by mesoaccumbens fibers has not been documented …

Supramammillary glutamate neurons are a key node of the arousal system

NP Pedersen, L Ferrari, A Venner, JL Wang… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Basic and clinical observations suggest that the caudal hypothalamus comprises a key node
of the ascending arousal system, but the cell types underlying this are not fully understood …

[HTML][HTML] The solute carrier transporters and the brain: Physiological and pharmacological implications

C Hu, L Tao, X Cao, L Chen - Asian journal of pharmaceutical sciences, 2020 - Elsevier
Solute carriers (SLCs) are the largest family of transmembrane transporters that determine
the exchange of various substances, including nutrients, ions, metabolites, and drugs across …

A glutamatergic reward input from the dorsal raphe to ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons

J Qi, S Zhang, HL Wang, H Wang… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
Electrical stimulation of the dorsal raphe (DR) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) activates the
fibres of the same reward pathway but the phenotype of this pathway and the direction of the …

Selective brain distribution and distinctive synaptic architecture of dual glutamatergic-GABAergic neurons

DH Root, S Zhang, DJ Barker, J Miranda-Barrientos… - Cell reports, 2018 - cell.com
For decades, it has been thought that glutamate and GABA are released by distinct neurons.
However, some mouse neurons innervating the lateral habenula (LHb) co-release …
