AMPA Receptors On Cell Membrane Make Us Smarter Date: September 15, 2009 Source: NWO (Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research) Summary: AMPA receptors are an important regulating factor ...

Scientists have mapped the molecular structure of glutamate receptors in the cerebellum for the first time using cryo-electron microscopy.

This site, located outside the membrane electric field, ... GluA2-containing AMPA receptors form a continuum of Ca 2+-permeable channels, Nature (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41586-025-08736-2.

Dr. Uwe Schulte, Dr. Jochen Schwenk, Prof. Dr. Bernd Fakler, and their team have elucidated the enormous spatial and temporal dynamics in protein composition of the AMPA-type glutamate receptors ...

Using the polyamine toxin philanthotoxin, which selectively blocks calcium-permeable AMPA receptors, we show that synaptic transmission onto single hippocampal interneurons occurs by afferent ...

Dual AMPA receptor-mediated functions of excitation and disinhibition may ensure transmission ... Location and morphology of BCs were viewed under a fluorescence filter-equipped microscopy after ...

“Because of the predominant hippocampal location of TARP-γ8-dependent AMPA receptors, we believe that the efficacy and side effect profile of CERC-611 may represent an improvement compared to ...

This is a three-dimensional reconstruction of serial 2-D images of nerve cells in the cortex of a live mouse brain. AMPA receptors, green; nerve cell structures, magenta.

As AMPA receptors are one of the most important molecules in neurotransmission, this method could potentially teach us a lot about the mechanisms of psychiatric disorders. Read the full story here .

The AMPA receptor plays a critical role for one of the brain's most abundant neurotransmitters -- glutamate -- which activates brain cells (neurons) ...

In the study, "GluA2-containing AMPA receptors form a continuum of Ca²⁺-permeable channels," published in Nature, ... This site, located outside the membrane electric field, ...
