Human Autoantibodies against the AMPA Receptor Subunit GluA2 Induce Receptor Reorganization and Memory Dysfunction.

Neuron | 2018

AMPA receptors are essential for fast excitatory transmission in the CNS. Autoantibodies to AMPA receptors have been identified in humans with autoimmune encephalitis and severe defects of hippocampal function. Here, combining electrophysiology and high-resolution imaging with neuronal culture preparations and passive-transfer models in wild-type and GluA1-knockout mice, we analyze how specific human autoantibodies against the AMPA receptor subunit GluA2 affect receptor function and composition, synaptic transmission, and plasticity. Anti-GluA2 antibodies induce receptor internalization and a reduction of synaptic GluA2-containing AMPARs followed by compensatory ryanodine receptor-dependent incorporation of synaptic non-GluA2 AMPARs. Furthermore, application of human pathogenic anti-GluA2 antibodies to mice impairs long-term synaptic plasticity in vitro and affects learning and memory in vivo. Our results identify a specific immune-neuronal rearrangement of AMPA receptor subunits, providing a framework to explain disease symptoms.

NeuroMatic (tool)

RRID:SCR_004186

NeuroMatic is a collection of Igor Pro functions for analyzing electrophysiological data. By allowing users to organize their data into Sets and Groups, NeuroMatic makes it relatively easy to compute transformations and statistical analyses on their data, including scaling, alignment averaging, baseline subtraction, spike detection, stationarity analysis, rise-time computations, etc. Being open source and modular designed, NeuroMatic also allows users to develop their own analysis functions that can be easily incorporated into NeuroMatic's framework. Note, if you have reached this page in search of a freeware tool for neuronal reconstructions, you are more likely to be interested in Neuromantic, a software package that sounds like NeuroMatic, but is not quite the same. Features of NeuroMatic Include * Sorting, Scaling, Averaging, Interpolation * Max / Min / Mean / Level / Rise Time / FWHM / Slope Measurements * Stability / Stationarity Analysis * Event Detection * Waveform Template Matching * Spike Raster Plots * Interspike-Interval and Peri-Stimulus Time (PST) Histograms * Compact Easy-to-Use Interface * Modular design as a basis for your own procedures * Extra space for your own buttons and controls * Import functions for Axograph and Pclamp data * Automatic macro generation for batch processing Supporting Agencies: MRC, Wellcome Trust Spike, Event, Fit, NClamp, Acquisition, spike train, EPSP, IPSP, IPSC, EPSC
