We report an unexpected and complementary pathway in which mGluR5 PAMs enhance synaptic potentiation and produce antidepressant-like effects, mirroring ketamine’s rapid effects in preclinical models (3/3)
Amazing work from the incredible Clara MCarthy and ZZackMa

We investigated nanoscale organization of Ca2+ signaling in dendritic spines and identified distinct Ca2+ signaling pathways—mediated by NMDAR and mGluR5—which differentially regulate synaptic plasticity, protein synthesis, and antidepressant-like effects (2/3)

Thrilled to share our latest work showing spatially segregated Ca2+ signals of NMDAR and mGluR5 have opposing effects to maintain synapse homeostasis, with implications towards rapid antidepressant action (1/3)
