Consolidation of implicit memory in the invertebrate Aplysia and explicit memory in the
mammalian hippocampus are associated with remodeling and growth of preexisting …

The rapid expansion in the number of encephalitis disorders associated with autoantibodies
against neuronal proteins has led to an incremental increase in use of the term “autoimmune …

Experience results in long-lasting changes in dendritic spine size, yet how the molecular
architecture of the synapse responds to plasticity remains poorly understood. Here a …

Neuroplasticity is not only shaped by learning and memory but is also a mediator of
responses to neuron attrition and injury (compensatory plasticity). As an ongoing process it …

Autoimmune synaptic encephalitides are recently described human brain diseases leading
to psychiatric and neurological syndromes through inappropriate brain–autoantibody …

The clinical development of selective alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR)
agonists has hitherto been focused on disorders characterized by cognitive deficits (eg …

Objective To demonstrate that ephrin‐B2 (the ligand of EphB2 receptor) antagonizes the
pathogenic effects of patients' N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antibodies on …

The mechanisms by which β-amyloid (Aβ), a peptide fragment believed to contribute to
Alzheimer's disease, leads to synaptic deficits are not known. Here we find that elevated …

Heterotetrameric glutamate receptors are essential for the development, function, and
plasticity of spine synapses but how they are organized to achieve this is not known. Here …

N-Methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors play a variety of physiologic roles and their proper
signaling is essential for cellular homeostasis. Any disruption in this pathway, leading to …
