Apoptosis) NMDA / AMPA receptor activation Basic mechanism supporting brain plasticity Has applications to treat cognitive disorders, depression, neurodegenerative disorders Direct and indirect ways to modulate these receptors 6

8 The problem: physiology versus pathophysiology tamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mamamalian central nervous system, involved in most physiological and many pathological processes. Important mediator of brain excitability and plasticity, but... How can we selectively modulate glutamatergic synaptic transmission in the CNS? Can we selectively target pathological processes involving the glutamate system?
9 A HIGH PROPENSITY FOR GLUTAMATE-INDUCED NEURONAL INJURY EXISTS IN IN THE CNS mm glutamate throughout the CNS µm glutamate is toxic to neurons Energy dependent uptake from the synapse is critical to prevent excitotoxicity Toxic levels of glutamate lead to profound depolarization and further glutamate release Toxic levels of glutamate leads to neuronal degeneration and thus further glutamate release High levels of glutamate receptors are found throughout the brain and spinal cord A Role for Excitotoxicity Beyond Acute Brain Injury?

12 Circuits matter - PCP increases limbic excitation via disinhibition NMDA antagonists (PCP, ketamine) induce psychosis in normal human volunteers and exacerbate psychosis in schizophrenic patients; correlation with limbic hyperexcitability.

13 Effects of LY and PCP on Hippocampal Serotonin (Pete Hutson MRL) Male SD rats were administered LY (3mg/kg, i.p.) 30min before PCP (5mg/kg, i.p.) and hippocampal dialysates were analyzed. LY markedly inhibited PCP induced elevations in 5-HT. Area under curve for 5-HT was significantly decreased (p<0.01, T-test) in LY (3mg/kg, i.p.) treated animals compared to saline treated controls. 13

17 Many glutamate targets to pursue but few shown to be effective and safe. Are you sure there s a Drug in here?
18 Summary: How can one neurotransmitter have so many diverse functions? Physiology versus pathophysiology: How we can we dissociate these? Excitotoxicity as a concept Is it relevant beyond acute brain injury? How to avoid / manage as on-target pharmacology? Control of glutamate: the most highly regulated amino acid neurotransmitter Feedback mechanisms may alter long-term effects of drugs? Plasticity as well as excitability - Roles in brain pathophysiology create opportunities for new therapeutics? Presynaptic versus post-synaptic and glial regulation Tools to study all these aspects of the synapse are important to develop. Direct and indirect effects on other many other neurotransmitters May be important in pathophysiology and for therapeutic and on-target side effects of glutamate targeted drugs. Circuits matter. Not that simple to decrease or increase excitation via single targets Important to consider for pathophysiology and therapeutics. Many glutamate drug targets out there but few shown yet to be effective and safe What have we learned and what can be done to increase probability of success. 18
