The AMPA receptor adopts a self-shutoff mechanism during desensitization to protect the neuron. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to ...
This is a three-dimensional reconstruction of serial 2-D images of nerve cells in the cortex of a live mouse brain. AMPA receptors, green; nerve cell structures, magenta. Disclaimer: AAAS and ...
Researchers have found that AMPA receptors form and disintegrate continually, within a fraction of a second, rather than existing as stable entities. The scientists' findings may help clarify early ...
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 ...
Our brain is a high-performance computer. One of the key players in this complex system is the AMPA-type glutamate receptor. It ensures that neurotransmission proceeds at a breakneck pace from cell to ...
