    GluN2B-containing NMDA receptors regulate depression-like behavior and are critical for the rapid antidepressant actions of ketamine

    Oliver H Miller, Lingling Yang ... Benjamin J Hall
    The rapid antidepressant actions of low dose ketamine occur through the direct relief of suppression of protein synthesis via antagonism of a subset of NMDA receptors containing the GluN2B subunit.

    Neurexins control the strength and precise timing of glycinergic inhibition in the auditory brainstem

    He-Hai Jiang, Ruoxuan Xu ... Fujun Luo
    Neurexins are essential for shaping the functional properties of glycinergic synapse in the auditory brainstem, further attesting their universal role as critical presynaptic organizers in all major fast chemical synapses.

    CaBP1 and 2 enable sustained CaV1.3 calcium currents and synaptic transmission in inner hair cells

    David Oestreicher, Shashank Chepurwar ... Tina Pangrsic
    Analysis of Cabp1/2 double knockout phyenotype and rescue by viral delivery of Cabp2 identifies the interplay between two CaBPs to promote sustained synaptic transmission at the inner hair cell synapses.
