By: K. Marsden*, J. Beattie, J. Friedenthal & R. Carroll

author keywords: synaptic plasticity; GABA(A) receptor trafficking; CaMKII; NSF; GABARAP; GRIP
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Newborn; Biotinylation / methods; Cells, Cultured; Enzyme Inhibitors / pharmacology; Excitatory Amino Acid Agents / pharmacology; Exocytosis / drug effects; Exocytosis / physiology; Glutamate Decarboxylase / metabolism; Hippocampus / cytology; In Vitro Techniques; Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potentials / drug effects; Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potentials / physiology; Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potentials / radiation effects; Microtubule-Associated Proteins / metabolism; N-Methylaspartate / pharmacology; Neurons / drug effects; Neurons / physiology; Patch-Clamp Techniques / methods; Protein Transport / drug effects; Protein Transport / physiology; RNA, Small Interfering / pharmacology; Rats; Rats, Sprague-Dawley; Receptors, GABA / physiology; Receptors, N-Methyl-D-Aspartate / physiology; Time Factors
TL;DR: It is reported that NMDA receptor activation, which has been shown to drive excitatory long-term depression through AMPAR endocytosis, simultaneously increases expression of GABAARs at the dendritic surface of hippocampal neurons, and the bidirectional trafficking of AMPA and GABAA receptors can be driven by a single glutamatergic stimulus, providing a potent postsynaptic mechanism for modulating neuronal excitability.
