Question

Before LTP: In the normal state, what is the effect of glutamate at the AMPA receptors? At the NMDA receptors?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The LTP is long-term potentiation and LTD is long-term depression. It can be elicited by activation of NMDA-type glutamate receptors. NMDA is N-methyl-D-aspartate. The early phase of expression is generally mediated by AMPA-type glutamate receptor redistribution.
