It has been suggested that some glutamatergic synapses lack functional AMPA receptors.
We used quantitative immunogold localization to determine the number and variability of …

The NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) subclass of glutamate receptor is essential for the
synaptic plasticity thought to underlie learning and memory,, and for synaptic refinement …

Rasmussen's encephalitis is a progressive childhood disease of unknown cause
characterized by severe epilepsy, hemiplegia, dementia, and inflammation of the brain …

Much has been learned about the activffy-dependent synaptic modifications (long-term
potentiation and long-term depression) that are thought to underlie memory storage, but the …

Among diverse factors regulating excitatory synaptic transmission, the abundance of
postsynaptic glutamate receptors figures prominently in molecular memory and learning …

A new ionotropic glutamate receptor subunit termed KA-2, cloned from rat brain cDNA,
exhibits high affinity for [3H] kainate (K.= 15 nM). KA-2 mRNA is widely expressed in …

Ionotropic glutamate receptors are composed of homomeric or heteromeric configurations of
glutamate receptor subunits. We have cloned a member of a novel class of the rat ionotropic …

Glutamate receptors convey most of the fast excitatory transmission in the vertebrate central
nervous system (CNS). In addition, they appear to be crucially involved in plastic synaptic …
