Oligodendrocytes are vulnerable to excitotoxic insults mediated by AMPA receptors and by low and high affinity kainate receptors, a feature that is dependent on Ca2+ influx.

Photoreceptor degeneration differentially impacts glutamatergic signaling in downstream On and Off bipolar cells. In rodent models, photoreceptor degeneration leads to loss of glutamatergic signaling in On bipolar cells, whereas Off bipolar cells appear ...

Proteinase-activated receptors 4 (PAR(4)) is a class A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) recognized through the ability of serine proteases such as thrombin and trypsin to mediate receptor activation. Due to the irreversible nature of activation, a fresh

Kainate receptors and synaptic plasticity
Synaptic plasticity has classically been characterized to involve the NMDA and AMPA subtypes of glutamate receptors, with NMDA receptors providing the key trigger for the induction of long-term plasticity leading to changes in AMPA receptor expression.

Summary: Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) proliferate and differentiate into myelinating oligodendrocytes throughout life. Many cues modulate OPC proliferation and differentiation, including neuronal activity, which OPCs sense through voltage-gated

Abstract Objective Most antiseizure medications (ASMs) have been discovered by testing in animal models, which are generally thought to predict antiseizure activity in patients. However, it is not known whether any of these models (or a combination of models) can predict whether a novel ASM exhibits higher clinical efficacy in focal drug‐resistant ...

Structure of a High-Affinity Kainate Receptor: GluK4 Ligand-Binding Domain Crystallized with Kainate
Ionotropic glutamate receptors play a key role for fast neurotransmission in the central nervous system and have been linked to several neurological diseases and disorders.
