Question

Describe one form of glutamate synaptic plasticity which is thought to be important for the reduction of CRH neuron activity following stress.

Answer 1

Glutamate synaptic plasticity in the form of excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. This plays an important role in the mediation of any excitatory synaptic transmission. This is the process in which cells in the brain communicated with each other. Plasticity is an ability of synapse that we can and strengthen to respond enhancing and decreasing the activity. The alteration and changes in the number of neurotransmitter receptors are observed. Plasticity is important because they possess and ability of neural activity which is generated to modify the neural circuit functions. This function can be modified and we can observe it through the change in feelings behavior and thoughts.

To describe the form of glutamate synaptic plasticity for the reduction of corticotropin-releasing it is important to identify the activity following stress. In the stress, they undergo stress-induced plasticity that highlights the role in stress activation and adaptation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. Elevation of circulating glucocorticoid is also observed in the stress response in which the hypothalamic-pituitary releases the corticotrophic releasing hormone. This neuron produces and secrets the corticotroph activity that lasts for a week and plays an important role in regulating the stress. This is considered as one of the major regulators of the hypothalamic-pituitary in which stress-induced transmitter synapse transmission and serve to regulate the neural activity by modulating glutamate and GABA release.
