Regulation of protein kinase pathways in primary neuron model of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.

Yuyoung Joo, Prajwal Ciryam, Timothy Zhang…·David R. Benavides

This study investigates how a GluN1 monoclonal antibody affects kinase signaling pathways in primary cortical neurons, revealing phosphoproteomic changes linked to NMDAR activation.

Properties of individual hippocampal synapses influencing NMDA-receptor activation by spontaneous neurotransmission.

Sarah R. Metzbower, Yuyoung Joo, David R. Benavides, Thomas A. Blanpied

The paper examines NMDA receptor activation by spontaneous neurotransmission in cultured rat hippocampal neurons, finding that GluN2B-NMDARs are primarily involved and activation varies independently of synapse size but correlates with distance from the soma.
