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

Optical control of metabotropic glutamate receptors [PDF]
Nature Neuroscience, 2013 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest family of membrane signaling proteins, respond to neurotransmitters, hormones and small environmental molecules. The neuronal function of many GPCRs has been difficult to resolve because of an inability to gate them with subtype specificity, spatial precision, speed and reversibility. To address this, we

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors for Parkinson's Disease Therapy
Parkinson's Disease, 2013 Excessive glutamatergic signalling within the basal ganglia is implicated in the progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and inthe emergence of dyskinesia associated with long-term treatment with L-DOPA.

Metabotropic glutamate receptor trafficking [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu receptors) are G protein-coupled receptors that bind to the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate and are important in the modulation of neuronal excitability, synaptic transmission, and plasticity in the central nervous system.

Brain Pathology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Differential alteration of synaptic versus extrasynaptic NMDARs in P301S mice. Reduced density of synaptic NMDARs in excitatory synapses in the hippocampus of P301S mice at 10 months. NMDARs at excitatory synapses established on pyramidal cell spines and interneurons are significantly reduced in the CA1 region of the hippocampus compared to age‐matched

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.

The fate of interneurons, GABAA receptor sub‐types and perineuronal nets in Alzheimer's disease
Brain Pathology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurological disease, which is associated with gradual memory loss and correlated with synaptic hyperactivity and abnormal oscillatory rhythmic brain activity that precedes phenotypic alterations and is partly responsible for the spread of the disease pathology.
