Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors in Epilepsy: A Review Focusing on AMPA and NMDA Receptors
It is widely accepted that glutamate-mediated neuronal hyperexcitation plays a causative role in eliciting seizures. Among glutamate receptors, the roles of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA ...

Perampanel inhibition of AMPA receptor currents in cultured hippocampal neurons. [PDF]
Perampanel is an aryl substituted 2-pyridone AMPA receptor antagonist that was recently approved as a treatment for epilepsy. The drug potently inhibits AMPA receptor responses but the mode of block has not been characterized.

Channel opening and gating mechanism in AMPA-subtype glutamate receptors
AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid)-subtype ionotropic glutamate receptors mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission throughout the central nervous system.

Postsynaptic synaptotagmins mediate AMPA receptor exocytosis during LTP
Strengthening of synaptic connections by NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) receptor-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) shapes neural circuits and mediates learning and memory.

AMPA-ergic regulation of amyloid-β levels in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model
Background Extracellular aggregation of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide into toxic multimers is a key event in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. Aβ aggregation is concentration-dependent, with higher concentrations of Aβ much more likely to form toxic ...
