Reelin, a large extracellular matrix glycoprotein, is secreted by several neuron populations in the developing and adult rodent brain. Secreted Reelin triggers a complex signaling pathway by binding lipoprotein and integrin membrane receptors in target cells. Reelin signaling regulates migration and dendritic growth in developing neurons, while it can modulate synaptic plasticity in adult neurons. To identify which adult neural circuits can be modulated by Reelin‐mediated signaling, we… 
Reelin Secreted by GABAergic Neurons Regulates Glutamate Receptor Homeostasis
TLDR
It is proposed that reelin is a trans-neuronal messenger secreted by GABAergic neurons that regulates NMDARs homeostasis in postnatal hippocampus and shows that the heterogeneity of reelin immunoreactivity correlates with distinct functional populations: neurons synthesizing and secreting reelin and/or neurons binding reelin.
Glutamatergic cerebellar granule neurons synthesize and secrete reelin in vitro.
TLDR
Data show for the first time that a homogeneous population of glutamatergic neurons can synthesize and secrete reelin in cerebellar granule cells in vitro.
Neurochemical Phenotype of Reelin Immunoreactive Cells in the Piriform Cortex Layer II
TLDR
It is shown that Reelin cells express the neuronal marker Neuronal Nuclei (NeuN), but however the majority of neurons lack markers of mature excitatory or inhibitory neurons, suggesting that the function of these Reelin expressing cells might be similar to that of the Cajal-Retzius cells during development.
Role for Reelin in Neurotransmitter Release
TLDR
Novel findings suggest a role for Reelin in modulating presynaptic release mechanisms in reeler mutants when compared with wild-type animals.
Epileptiform activity interferes with proteolytic processing of Reelin required for dentate granule cell positioning
TLDR
It is found that both conditions, epileptiform activity and impaired proteolytic cleavage of Reelin, cause granule cell dispersion via inhibition of metalloproteinases.
Canonical and Non-canonical Reelin Signaling
TLDR
An overview of canonical and alternative Reelin signaling pathways, molecular mechanisms involved, and their potential physiological roles in the context of different biological settings is given.
Analysis of the role of Reelin in mouse brain development: Reelin positive non-gabaergic populations and impact of haploinsufficience on neuronal morpology
TLDR
Findings suggest Reelin signaling may directly modulate excitatory synaptic circuits in the postnatal brain and point to underlying neuronal morphological correlates for the electrophysiological changes found in homozygous reeler mice and the physiological abnormalities exhibited in heterozygous reeling mice.
Emerging topics in Reelin function
TLDR
This review addresses distinct functions of the Reelin receptors Apoer2 and Vldlr in cortical layer formation, followed by a discussion on the recently identified downstream effector molecule n‐cofilin, involved in regulating actin cytoskeletal dynamics required for coordinated neuronal migration.
Reelin Depletion in the Entorhinal Cortex of Human Amyloid Precursor Protein Transgenic Mice and Humans with Alzheimer's Disease
TLDR
Altered Reelin levels might be altered in the brains of human amyloid precursor protein (hAPP) transgenic mice, particularly in brain regions vulnerable to AD such as hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, to conclude that alterations in Reelin processing or signaling may be involved in AD-related neuronal dysfunction.

Reelin immunoreactivity in the adult primate brain: intracellular localization in projecting and local circuit neurons of the cerebral cortex, hippocampus and subcortical regions.
TLDR
A light and electron microscope analysis of Reelin-immunoreactive neuron types in the cerebral cortex and subcortical regions of adult macaque monkeys shows that the great majority of brain neurons are immunoreactive for Reelin although some neuronal populations do not contain Reelin.
Reelin is preferentially expressed in neurons synthesizing gamma-aminobutyric acid in cortex and hippocampus of adult rats.
TLDR
In adult rat cerebellum, Reelin is expressed in glutamatergic neurons (granule cells), and the translated product of this mRNA is readily exported from the granule cell somata to the parallel fibers, where it has been detected by electron microscopy in axon terminals located presynaptically to Purkinje cell dendrites.
Colocalization of integrin receptors and reelin in dendritic spine postsynaptic densities of adult nonhuman primate cortex
TLDR
It is hypothesized that the decrease of neuropil and dendritic spine density reported to exist in the neocortex of psychiatric patients may be related to a down-regulation of Reln–integrin interactions and the consequent decrease of cytoskeleton protein turnover.

A reelin–integrin receptor interaction regulates Arc mRNA translation in synaptoneurosomes
TLDR
It is concluded that reelin binds with high affinity to integrin receptors expressed in SNSs and thereby activates Arc protein synthesis, and is virtually abolished by 50–100 nM echistatin or by 5–10 nM rapamycin, a blocker of the mammalian target of rapamyin kinase.

Reelin Modulates NMDA Receptor Activity in Cortical Neurons
TLDR
Reelin may physiologically modulate learning and memory by modulating NMDA receptor functions by regulating NMDA-type glutamate receptor activity through a mechanism that requires SFKs and Dab1.
Reelin‐immunoreactive neurons, axons, and neuropil in the adult ferret brain: Evidence for axonal secretion of reelin in long axonal pathways
TLDR
These observations are consistent with the notion that some neurons may anterogradely transport Reelin along their axons in large membrane‐bound secretory vesicles and secrete it into their terminal arborization fields, which may be quite distant from the somata synthesizing the protein.
Ultrastructural localization of reelin in the cortex in post‐mortem human brain
TLDR
The presence of reelin in adult spines, PSD, and terminals suggests that in theAdult human reelin has a role in synaptic remodeling, which is consistent with the evidence for its role in long‐term potentiation in the adult brain.
