The auditory system has a remarkable ability to adjust to an ever-changing environment. The six review chapters that comprise Plasticity of the Central Auditory System cover a spectrum of issues concerning this ability to adapt, defined by the widely

Motoneurons have been shown to be particularly sensitive to Ca 2+ -dependent glutamate excitotoxicity, mediated via AMPA receptors (AMPARs). To determine the molecular basis for this susceptibility we have used immunocytochemistry, RT-PCR, and electr

Zinc is widely distributed in the central nervous system (CNS), it functions normally as a synaptic modulator, and it contributes to neuronal death under pathologic conditions. Zinc colocalizes with glutamate in excitatory synapses, and the presence

The ionotropic glutamate receptor (GluR) subtype known as the AMPA receptor, which mediates rapid excitatory synaptic transmission in many regions of the nervous system, is composed of four different protein subunits, termed GluRs 1-4. The functional

Although dependence on afferent synaptic activity has been shown for central neurons in every sensory system, the mechanisms of afferent maintenance of target sensory neurons are not understood. Neurons in the cochlear nucleus (CN) require afferent a

Neurons of the chick cochlear nucleus, nucleus magnocellularis (NM), require eighth nerve activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) for maintenance of intracellular calcium homeostasis. Interrupting this activation results in an increas

Manipulating the expression of a protein can provide a powerful tool for understanding its function, provided that the protein is expressed at physiologically-significant concentrations. We have developed a simple method to measure (1) the concentrat

Glutamate activates three distinct classes of ionotropic receptors: AMPA, kainate and NMDA. AMPA receptors (AMPARs) are of particular importance as they mediate the majority of fast excitatory synaptic transmission and are implicated in a variety of

To identify chick GluR4 isoforms, we used PCR to amplify a C-terminal region that is the site of alternative splicing in rat. We report here the cloning of three novel chick GluR4 isoforms. GluR4c has a 113-bp insert in the C-terminus, is expressed i

The expression of the calcium-binding protein calretinin (CR) in the chick brainstem auditory nuclei angularis (NA), laminaris (NL), and magnocelularis (NM) was studied during normal development and after deafening by surgical removal of the otocyst
