Glutamate, the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, must be rapidly cleared from the extracellular space to prevent excitotoxicity and maintain precise synap [...]

Throughout the central nervous system (CNS), a family of ligand-gated ion channels known as α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPARs) transl [...]

Unipolar brush cells (UBCs) are glutamatergic interneurons present in cerebellum-like structures. In mammals, they are found in cerebellum and the dorsal cochlear nucle [...]

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) modulate the activity of neurons in many ways on both short and long timescales. These receptors initiate intracellular signaling ca [...]

Neurons, information-processing units of the human brain, are polarized cells that have a soma, tentacle-like dendrites and a typically tubular axon. For infor [...]
