3 Table of Contents Receptor Types and Subtypes Ionotropic vs Metabotropic Autoreceptor vs Heteroreceptor Intrinsic Activity and Functional Selectivity Neurotrophic Factors Synaptic Plasticity 3

4 Receptor Types: Ionotropic vs Metabotropic Ionotropic receptor Fast and direct action 1,2 Examples include some glutamate receptors (AMPA, NMDA, Kainate) and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors 3,4 AMPA, α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid; NMDA, N-methyl-D-aspartate. 1.

Annu Rev Neurosci. 1993;16: Image from: Purves D, et al;

5 Receptor Types: Ionotropic vs Metabotropic (continued) Metabotropic receptor Comparatively slow and indirect action 1 Examples include some Glutamate receptors (mglur) and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors 2 mglurs, metabotropic glutamate receptors. 1.

6 Receptor Types: Auto vs Hetero Autoreceptor Receptor is only sensitive to the neurotransmitter of the cell type it s located on 1 Example: A serotonin (5-HT) receptor can be located on a presynaptic 5-HT neuron 2 Result: 5-HT binding to an autoreceptor on its own neuron can influence the activity or concentration of 5-HT release 3 Heteroreceptor Receptor is only sensitive to neurotransmitters of cell types other than the type it s located on 4 Example: A 5-HT receptor can be located on a dopamine (DA) neuron 5,6 Result: 5-HT binding to a heteroreceptor on a DA neuron can influence the activity or concentration of DA release 6 1.

11 Synaptic Plasticity and Long-term Potentiation Synaptic plasticity: complex, ongoing, structural/functional alterations in the nervous system 1,2 Long-term potentiation (LTP): robust and long-lasting form of synaptic plasticity 2 Leading candidate for a cellular mechanism contributing to learning and memory 2 Glutamate receptors are required for the induction and expression of this form of plasticity, and GABA receptors are involved in their modulation 3 AMPAR, α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor; PSD, postsynaptic density Image from: Vitureira N, et al; Collingridge GL, et al.

12 Summary Specific subtypes of neurotransmitters can have different signaling pathways (eg, ionotropic vs. metabotropic) or functions (eg, autoreceptor vs heteroreceptor), depending on their neuroanatomical location 1,2,3 Receptor activation via ligand binding can variably influence a receptor s intrinsic activity and functional selectivity 2 5 Neurotrophic factor signaling can regulate activities such as neuronal differentiation, growth, survival, and plasticity 2,6 1.
