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 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.

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.
Prostaglandin E2-mediated radial spread of PKA activation, caused by calcium transients, is a novel mode of intercellular communication in living mice.
