Discover how the brain's most abundant neurotransmitter, glutamate, is revolutionizing psychiatry and offering new hope for ...

Scientists used advanced cryo-EM imaging to reveal how glutamate activates brain receptors, paving the way for new ...

Nine months after Johnson & Johnson stepped back from an Addex Therapeutics-partnered epilepsy drug in the wake of a phase 2 ...

a neuroscientist at Humboldt University of Berlin whose research focuses on glutamate receptors. “To understand the complexity of synaptic inputs is totally impossible with other methods. The idea, in ...

Two of the most studied forms of plasticity, long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), involve both glutamate and GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) receptors, and it is becoming clear ...

Its landing place on neurons is a channel called an AMPA receptor, which interacts with glutamate, and then acts like a pore that takes in charged particles. The ebb and flow of charged particles ...

When you eat MSG, the glutamate receptors in your taste buds (yep, your body was made to detect glutamates) fire up and ...

The group focuses on studying the mechanisms guiding activity-dependent development of glutamatergic circuitry in the limbic system and in particular, the roles of ionotropic glutamate receptors in ...

Glutamate excites neurons, creating the electrical activity essential for normal brain function. This excitatory transmission occurs through several specialized receptors, including NMDA ...
