Excitatory synapses are located in confined ... and because its target glutamate receptors in the postsynaptic neuron are heavily enriched in specialized membrane structures that are directly ...

In particular, expression of specific subtypes of neuronal ionotropic glutamate and acetylcholine ... transmission at VMN–sympathetic neuron synapses was altered by concurrent innervation ...

Synapses are ... received by a postsynaptic neuron. The Synaptic Physiology laboratory directed by CSIC researcher Juan Lerma at the IN has extensively investigated glutamate receptors, which ...

Schematic of synapses with and without Noelins. On the left, Noelin proteins anchor the AMPA glutamate receptor and other associated proteins to the synapse and other regions of the nerve cell.

So far, we have identified several novel features related to functions and regulation of AMPA and kainate-type glutamate receptors at the developing synapses. Our current research aims to understand ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...
