Glutamate transporters pump glutamate from the synaptic cleft back into brain cells after its release during neurotransmission. A new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators has found that free ...

Glutamate transporters are integral membrane proteins that play critical roles in regulating excitatory neurotransmission by rapidly clearing glutamate from the synaptic cleft. They operate through a ...

The field of science is littered with epic debates. But every so often, those dogmatic clashes yield fruitful new discoveries. Case in point: Some scientists believe they’ve discovered a new brain ...

After each neurotransmitter release, MK801, an open-channel blocker that can only block a channel that has been activated, decreases initial current (which has been normalized for wild type and mutant ...

In the intricate chemical symphony of the brain, glutamate stands as the principal conductor. As the brain's most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate facilitates our ability to learn, form ...
