Glycine is one of the most important inhibitory neurotransmitters in the spinal cord and the
brainstem, and glycinergic synapses have a well-established role in the regulation of …

The zebrafish is a leading model for studies of vertebrate development and genetics. Its
embryonic motor behaviors are easy to assess (eg for mutagenic screens), the embryos …

The strength of synaptic transmission is controlled by the number and activity of
neurotransmitter receptors. However, little is known about absolute numbers and densities …

A neurotransmitter transporter can potentially mediate uptake or release of substrate, and its
stoichiometry is a key factor that controls the driving force and thus the neurotransmitter flux …

1 The medial superior olive (MSO) is part of the binaural auditory pathway, receiving
excitatory projections from both cochlear nuclei and an inhibitory input from the ipsilateral …

Precise quantitative information about the molecular architecture of synapses is essential to
understanding the functional specificity and downstream signaling processes at specific …

Whole‐cell patch clamp recordings of miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mIPSCs)
were obtained in identified abducens motoneurons (aMns) from young rats (P5‐P13). Three …

The firing pattern of neurons is shaped by the convergence of excitation and inhibition, each
with finely tuned magnitude and duration. In an auditory brainstem nucleus, glycinergic …

The first two postnatal weeks are the most dynamic in the development of brain stem
respiratory nuclei in the rat, the primary model for this review. Several neurochemicals …

Accumulation of glycine receptors at synapses requires the interaction between the beta
subunit of the receptor and the scaffold protein gephyrin. Here, we questioned whether …
