Abstract

The sigma receptor (σR), once considered a subtype of the opioid receptor, is now described as a distinct pharmacological entity. Modulation of N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate receptor (NMDAR) functions by σR‐1 ligands is well documented; however, its mechanism is not fully understood. Using patch‐clamp whole‐cell recordings in CA1 pyramidal cells of rat hippocampus and (+)pentazocine, a high‐affinity σR‐1 agonist, we found that σR‐1 activation potentiates NMDAR responses and long‐term potentiation (LTP) by preventing a small conductance Ca 2+‐activated K+current (SK channels), known to shunt NMDAR responses, to open. Therefore, the block of SK channels and the resulting increased Ca 2+influx through the NMDAR enhances NMDAR responses and LTP. These results emphasize the importance of the σR‐1 as postsynaptic regulator of synaptic transmission.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
