It is postulated that CaMKII phosphorylation of GluR1 and NR2A/B may play a role in increasing the presence of these receptors within retinal synapses.
It is now conventional wisdom that acetylcholine and nicotine act at these receptors to alter electrochemical properties at a variety of synapses, which can in turn affect the release of several other neurotransmitters.
The results are supportive of the concept of a plastic retina in which environmental stimuli may induce changes in the structure and chemistry of the retinal synapses, although it is appreciated that the loss of photoreceptors is not quite the same thing as a loss of visual input.
It has been shown that the AMPA receptors can move in and out of synapses as synaptic connections are strengthened and weakened [ 31, 32, 33].
PKC has been suggested to play a role in synapse stability and signal transduction at the NMJ [ 24 ] . When calcium influx through the nAChR occurs, acetylcholine appears to activate PKC phosphorylation of this receptor [reviewed by [ 31 ] ]. Phorbol ester activation of PKC causes loss of synapses and nAChR [ 49 ] . Because the presynaptic PKCβ fluorescence band parallels the nAChR band (see fig.
