AMPA receptors are the major mediators of excitotoxic death in mature oligodendrocytes
Myelination of axons is important for central nervous system function, but oligodendrocytes, which constitute CNS myelin, are vulnerable to excitotoxic injury and death.

Kainate receptors are involved in synaptic plasticity.
International audienceThe ability of synapses to modify their synaptic strength in response to activity is a fundamental property of the nervous system and may be an essential component of learning and memory.

Kainate Receptors Presynaptically Downregulate GABAergic Inhibition in the Rat Hippocampus [PDF]
9 páginas, 5 figuras.Using microcultured neurons and hippocampal slices, we found that under conditions that completely block AMPA receptors, kainate induces a reduction in the effectiveness of GABAergic synaptic inhibition.

The effects of antidepressant drugs on kainate receptor mRNA levels
We have measured the levels of kainate receptor mRNA in rat brains following the injection of antidepressant drugs over a time course up to 32 days. Over this period imipramine and fluvoxamine elicited a rise in kainate receptor mRNA levels to a maximum ...

The hippocampal CA3 subregion of the rat is characteristically enriched in kainate receptors. At the synaptic level, the subcellular localization of these receptors is still a matter of debate.

Kainate receptors: Perspectives from the past decade
10 páginas, 5 figuras.-- Edited by: L. Turski, D.D. Schoepp and E.A. Cavalheiro.The potent excitatory amino acid glutamate mediates its excitatory effects through a wide variety of specific ionotropic receptors, including NMDA, AMPA and kainate receptors.

The most prevalent pathological phenomenon observed in patients with epilepsy is hippocampal mossy fiber sprouting (MFS), which is thought to be associated with epileptic progression, such as worsening seizure control, cognitive function, and behavior ...
