Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors
, 2013 On this planet, the mammalian brain is probably the most complex cellular network. In this system, glutamate is the dominant neurotransmitter, and it mediates the fast communication between the units of the network. Glutamate's main sites of action are the ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) and G−protein−coupled metabotropic glutamate receptors ...

Ubiquitin-dependent trafficking and turnover of ionotropic glutamate receptors [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2015 Changes in synaptic strength underlie the basis of learning and memory and are controlled, in part, by the insertion or removal of AMPA-type glutamate receptors at the postsynaptic membrane of excitatory synapses.

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.

Ligands for Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors [PDF]
, 2009 Marine-derived small molecules and peptides have played a central role in elaborating pharmacological specificities and neuronal functions of mammalian ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs), the primary mediators of excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system (CNS).

Age-dependent remodelling of ionotropic signalling in cortical astroglia [PDF]
, 2011 Cortical astrocytes express fast ionotropic receptors for glutamate and ATP, although their role in neurone-glia communication remains controversial.

The Structure and Function of Ionotropic Receptors in Drosophila
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021 Ionotropic receptors (IRs) are a highly divergent subfamily of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluR) and are conserved across Protostomia, a major branch of the animal kingdom that encompasses both Ecdysozoa and Lophothrochozoa.

The Role of Glutamate Receptors in Epilepsy
Biomedicines, 2023 Glutamate is an essential excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, playing an indispensable role in neuronal development and memory formation. The dysregulation of glutamate receptors and the glutamatergic system is involved in numerous

Exocytosis of ATP from astrocytes modulates phasic and tonic inhibition in the neocortex [PDF]
, 2014 Communication between neuronal and glial cells is important for many brain functions. Astrocytes can modulate synaptic strength via Ca2+-stimulated release of various gliotransmitters, including glutamate and ATP. A physiological role of ATP release from

Phased Treatment Strategies for Cerebral Ischemia Based on Glutamate Receptors
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 Extracellular glutamate accumulation following cerebral ischemia leads to overactivation of glutamate receptors, thereby resulting in intracellular Ca2+ overload and excitotoxic neuronal injury. Multiple attempts have been made to counteract such effects
