The number and subunit composition of synaptic N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs)
are not static, but change in a cell-and synapse-specific manner during development and in …

The N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are ionotropic glutamate receptors that
mediate the flux of calcium (Ca2+) into the post‐synaptic compartment. Ca2+ influx …

The NMDA receptor (NMDAR) is a component of excitatory synapses and a key participant
in synaptic plasticity. We investigated the role of two domains in the C terminus of the NR2B …

The mammalian central nervous system (CNS) requires the proper formation of exquisitely
precise circuits to function correctly. These neuronal circuits are assembled during …

Synaptic NMDA-type glutamate receptors (NMDARs) play important roles in synaptic
plasticity, brain development, and pathology. In the last few years, the view of NMDARs as …

Learning, memory and brain development are associated with long-lasting modifications of
synapses that are guided by specific patterns of neuronal activity. Such modifications …

Neurons are among the largest and most complex cells in the body. Their immense size and
intricate geometry pose many unique cell-biological problems. How is dendritic architecture …

NMDA receptors are found in neurons both at synapses and in extrasynaptic locations.
Extrasynaptic locations are poorly characterized. Here we used preembedding …

Subunit composition of NMDA receptors (NMDARs) determines a range of physiological
properties, downstream signaling effects, and binding partners. Differential localization of …

Research over the last few decades has shaped our understanding of the crucial
involvement of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) in mediating excitatory synaptic …
