Here, we provide evidence that the retrograde nitric oxide (NO)- cGMP cascade triggered by NMDA receptor (NMDAR) activation plays a role in the control of hippocampal GABAergic transmission in mice. GABAergic synapses express neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) postsynaptically and NO receptors (NO-sensitive guanylyl cyclase) in the presynaptic terminals. We hypothesized that-similar to glutamatergic synapses-the Ca 2+ transients required to activate nNOS were provided by NMDA receptor activation. Indeed, administration of 5 μm NMDA induced a robust nNOS-dependent cGMP production in GABAergic terminals, selectively in the CA1 and CA3c areas. Furthermore, using preembedding, postembedding, and SDS-digested freeze-fracture replica immunogold labeling, we provided quantitative immunocytochemical evidence that NMDAR subunits GluN1, GluN2A, and GluN2B were present in most somatic GABAergic synapses postsynaptically. These data indicate that NMDARs can modulate hippocampal GABAergic inhibition via NO- cGMP signaling in an activity-dependent manner and that this effect is subregion specific in the mouse hippocampus.}, author = {Szabadits, Eszter and Cserép, Csaba and Szonyi, András and Fukazawa, Yugo and Ryuichi Shigemoto and Watanabe, Masahiko and Itohara, Shigeyoshi and Freund, Tamás F and Nyíri, Gábor}, journal = {Journal of Neuroscience}, number = {16}, pages = {5893 -- 5904}, publisher = {Society for Neuroscience}, title = {{NMDA receptors in hippocampal GABAergic synapses and their role in nitric oxide signaling}}, doi = {10.1523/JNEUROSCI.5938-10.2011}, volume = {31}, year = {2011}, } @article{2513, abstract = {SK2-containing channels are expressed in the postsynaptic density (PSD) of dendritic spines on mouse hippocampal area CA1 pyramidal neurons and influence synaptic responses, plasticity and learning.

In mice lacking SK2-L (SK2-S only mice), SK2-S-containing channels were expressed in the extrasynaptic membrane, but were excluded from the PSD.

In agreement with earlier work, we find that high peaks (with amplitudes >~ 3.5 sigma, where sigma is the r.m.s. of the convergence kappa) are typically dominated by a single massive halo. In contrast, medium-height peaks (~0.5-1.5 sigma) cannot be attributed to a single collapsed dark matter halo, and are instead created by the projection of multiple (typically, 4-8) halos along the line of sight, and by random galaxy shape noise. Nevertheless, these peaks dominate the sensitivity to the cosmological parameters w, sigma_8, and Omega_m. We find that the peak height distribution and its dependence on cosmology differ significantly from predictions in a Gaussian random field. We directly compute the marginalized errors on w, sigma_8, and Omega_m from the N(kappa) + P_ell combination, including redshift tomography with source galaxies at z_s=1 and z_s=2.

The resulting radiative cooling by HD can lower the gas temperature to that of the cosmic microwave background, T_CMB=2.7(1+z)K, significantly below the temperature of a few 100 K achievable via H_2-cooling alone, and thus reduce the masses of the first generation of stars. Here we consider the suppression of HD-cooling by UV irradiation in the Lyman-Werner (LW) bands. We include photo-dissociation of both H_2 and HD, and explicitly compute the self-shielding and shielding of both molecules by neutral hydrogen as well as the shielding of HD by H_2. We use a simplified dynamical collapse model, and follow the chemical and thermal evolution of the gas, in the presence of a UV background. We find that a LW flux of J_crit = 1e-22 erg/cm^2/sr/s/Hz is able to suppress HD cooling and thus prevent collapsing primordial gas from reaching temperatures below 100 K. The main reason for the lack of HD cooling for J>J_crit is the partial photo-dissociation of H_2, which prevents the gas from reaching sufficiently low temperatures (T<150K) for HD to become the dominant coolant; direct HD photo-dissociation is unimportant except for a narrow range of fluxes and column densities. Since the prevention of HD-cooling requires only partial H_2 photo-dissociation, the critical flux J_crit is modest, and is below the UV background required to reionize the universe at redshift z=10-20.

We study cosmological parameter constraints from such standard sirens, in the presence of gravitational lensing by large-scale structure. Lensing introduces magnification with a probability distribution function (PDF) whose shape has significant skewness and kurtosis, and depends on cosmological parameters. We use Monte Carlo simulations to generate mock samples of standard sirens, including a small intrinsic scatter, as well as the additional, larger scatter from lensing, in their inferred distances. We derive constraints on cosmological parameters, by simultaneously fitting the mean and the distribution of the residuals on the distance versus redshift (dL–z) Hubble diagram. We find that for standard sirens at redshift z≈ 1, the sensitivity to a single cosmological parameter, such as the matter density Ωm, or the dark energy equation of state w, is ∼50–80 per cent tighter when the lensing PDF is used, compared to the sensitivity derived from a Gaussian PDF with the same variance. When these two parameters are constrained simultaneously, the non-Gaussian shape yields a further enhanced improvement (by ∼120 per cent), owing to the correlation between the parameters. The sensitivity to the amplitude of the matter power spectrum, σ8 from the cosmological dependence of the PDF alone, however, is ∼20 per cent worse than that from the Gaussian PDF. The improvements for Ωm and w arise purely from the non-Gaussian shape of the lensing PDF and can be attributed specifically to the sharpness of the peak of this PDF (i.e. to a finite kurtosis); the dependence of the PDF on these parameters does not improve constraints relative to those available from the mean dL–z relation. At higher redshifts, the PDF resembles a Gaussian more closely, and the effects of the non-Gaussianities become less prominent.

We calculate the optically thick photodissociation rate numerically, including the effects of density, temperature, and velocity gradients in the gas, as well as line overlap and shielding of H_2 by HI, over a large number of sight-lines. In low-density regions (n<10^4 cm^-3) the dissociation rates exceed those obtained using most previous approximations by more than an order of magnitude; the correction is smaller at higher densities. We trace the origin of the deviations primarily to inaccuracies of (i) the most common fitting formula (Draine & Bertoldi 1996) for the suppression of the dissociation rate and (ii) estimates for the effective shielding column density from local properties of the gas. The combined effects of gas temperature and velocity gradients are comparatively less important, typically altering the spherically averaged rate only by a factor of less than two. We present a simple modification to the DB96 fitting formula for the optically thick rate which improves agreement with our numerical results to within approx. 15 per cent, and can be adopted in future simulations. We find that estimates for the effective shielding column can be improved by using the local Sobolev length.
