#glutamate — Public Fediverse posts

📺 NEW: An #Auburn University grad student volunteered to enter a 7-Tesla #MRI scanner 104 times over 76 weeks, watching clips from the #sitcom #Friends to pass the long, noisy sessions.

The #study tracked how day-to-day #sleep patterns connect to #brain #chemistry. Early results link nights with less deep sleep to higher #glutamate levels the next day. The student still says she never tired of the show.

Given the amount of papers reporting NMDA receptors in fruit fly neurons, I am left wondering why we all consider glutamatergic synapses as inhibitory – there's only reports of glutamate-gated chloride channels for sensory systems like the olfactory and visual, but I don't know of any in the central brain where there are many glutamatergic neurons, including mushroom body output neurons (MBONs).

To capture this local heterogeneity, the authors developed a #multiphoton #FLIM approach with the Na⁺ indicator ING-2 and #astrocyte labeling, enabling quantitative Na⁺ measurements in individual #astrocytes and their processes. This is important because astrocytic Na⁺ is not just a bulk somatic variable. It varies locally across branches and subdomains, where K⁺ uptake and #glutamate-linked Na⁺ influx are regulated.

🧠🎨 New paper by Meyer et al: #astrocytic #sodium #homeostasis is not uniform. Using multiphoton #FLIM in #mouse #brain slices and #invivo, they show strong #cellular and #subcellular heterogeneity in astrocytic Na⁺ levels.

Processes contain more Na⁺ than somata, Na⁺ varies between #astrocyte branches, and distinct Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase subunit patterns help tune local K⁺ uptake and #glutamate-linked Na⁺ influx.
