Researching glutamate – induced cytotoxicity in different cell lines: a comparative/, collective analysis/study [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Although glutamate is one of the most important excitatory neurotransmitters of the central nervous system, its excessive extracellular concentration leads to uncontrolled continuous depolarization of neurons, a toxic process called, excitotoxicity.

Glutamate load fosters spreading depolarization under osmotic stress in brain slices [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular NeuroscienceIntroductionCerebral edema is a hallmark of lesion progression after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and a major contributor to the evolution of spreading depolarizations (SDs). SDs trigger extracellular glutamate accumulation and excitotoxic injury, yet the

Ionotropic Receptors (IRs): Chemosensory ionotropic glutamate receptors in Drosophila and beyond [PDF]
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2013 Ionotropic Receptors (IRs) are a recently characterized family of olfactory receptors in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. IRs are not related to insect Odorant Receptors (ORs), but rather have evolved from ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs), a conserved family of synaptic ligand-gated ion channels.

Functional Architecture of Olfactory Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors [PDF]
Neuron, 2011 Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate chemical communication between neurons at synapses. A variant iGluR subfamily, the Ionotropic Receptors (IRs), was recently proposed to detect environmental volatile chemicals in olfactory cilia.

Identification of male- and female-specific olfaction genes in antennae of the oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) [PDF]
, 2016 The oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) is a species of tephritid fruit fly, endemic to Southeast Asia but also introduced to many regions of the US, and it is one of the major pest species with a broad host range of cultivated and wild fruits ...

Plants, 2022 Most excitatory impulses received by neurons are mediated by ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs). These receptors are located at the apex and play an important role in memory, neuronal development, and synaptic plasticity.

Glutamate may be an efferent transmitter that elicits inhibition in mouse taste buds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Recent studies suggest that l-glutamate may be an efferent transmitter released from axons innervating taste buds. In this report, we determined the types of ionotropic synaptic glutamate receptors present on taste cells and that underlie this postulated

Simulation of postsynaptic glutamate receptors reveals critical features of glutamatergic transmission. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Activation of several subtypes of glutamate receptors contributes to changes in postsynaptic calcium concentration at hippocampal synapses, resulting in various types of changes in synaptic strength.

A Review of Molecular Imaging of Glutamate Receptors
Molecules, 2020 Molecular imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a well-established and important in vivo technique to evaluate fundamental biological processes and unravel the role of neurotransmitter ...
