McGill University researchers have demonstrated that AMPA receptors (AMPARs), which mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission in the brain fundamental to learning and memory processes, exhibit varying ...
In this study, researchers used positron emission tomography and a special tracer to study the relationship between the distribution of an important neuronal receptor (AMPA) and the occurrence and ...
AMPA receptors control excitatory transmission in the central nervous system by converting glutamate release into rapid cation influx and postsynaptic depolarisation. Their gating kinetics and ion ...
While the COVID pandemic has thankfully been over for some time now, there is still a considerable number of people in the world (about 400 million) suffering from long COVID. Long COVID is a chronic ...
Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, used high-speed atomic force microscopy to observe dynamic changes in AMPA receptors, which are vital for brain ...
The research, published June 4 in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, identifies critical connections between activity of the epilepsy drug perampanel and the resulting movements of the AMPA ...

MIT discovers 30% of your brain’s synapses are 'silent' — dormant connections waiting until you need to learn something new
Picture every synapse in your brain as a phone line. About 70% of them are live, carrying signals right now. But according to research from MIT, the remaining 30% are installed, wired, and ready to ...
