Glutamate serves as both the mammalian brain's primary excitatory neurotransmitter and as
a key neuromodulator to control synapse and circuit function over a wide range of spatial …

Chemical synapses are heterogeneous junctions formed between neurons that are
specialized for the conversion of electrical impulses into the exocytotic release of …

Previous studies of short-term plasticity in central nervous systems synapses have largely
focused on average synaptic properties. In this study, we use recordings from putative single …

Neurotransmission in the hippocampus is modulated variously through presynaptic
metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). To establish the precise localization of …

Voltage-gated calcium (Ca 2+) channels initiate release of neurotransmitters at synapses,
and regulation of presynaptic Ca 2+ channels has a powerful influence on synaptic strength …

Glutamate receptors (GluRs) mediate most of the excitatory neurotransmission in the
mammalian central nervous system (CNS). In addition, they are involved in plastic changes …

The neuronal and synaptic organisation of the cerebral cortex appears exceedingly
complex, and the definition of a basic cortical circuit in terms of defined classes of cells and …

This introductory article to the special edition on glutamate neurotransmission in
neuropsychiatric disorders provides an overview of glutamate neurotransmitter system …

To study the role of G protein-coupled, inwardly rectifying K+(GIRK) channels in mediating
neurotransmitter actions in hippocampal neurons, we have examined slices from transgenic …

Synapse,” intended to contrast our grasp of presynaptic Angleson and Betz (1997) quite
recently reviewed in physiology with our understanding of postsynaptic detail techniques for …
