Physiological learning involves intrasynaptic reorganization of GluA1-containing AMPA receptors

Marijo Jevtic, Elena Hollergschwandtner, Bryan Kartono, Yui Sugiyama, Lenka Strnadová, Ragul Ramesh, Yugo Fukazawa, Makoto Itakura, Ryuichi Shigemoto

This study shows that physiological learning in mice leads to intrasynaptic reorganization of GluA1-containing AMPA receptors at CA1 synapses, with increased density and clustering of GluA1 and reduced GluA2.

Advantages of acute brain slices prepared at physiological temperature in characterization of synaptic functions

Kohgaku Eguchi, Philipp Velicky, Elena Hollergschwandtner, Makoto Itakura, Yugo Fukazawa, Johann Georg Danzl, Ryuichi Shigemoto

This study compares synaptic function in mouse cerebellar slices prepared at ice-cold and physiological temperatures, finding that physiological temperature preserves synaptic structure and function better.
