Summary Introduction

To write:

The difference between AMPA and NMDA glutamate receptors and their roles in long term potentiation.

Introduction:

AMPA and NMDA glutamate are ionotropic receptors which binds with glutamate that acts as a neurotransmitter for generation of excitatory signal in the central nervous system.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Briefly describe how silent glutamatergic synapses become activated during long term potentiation, describing all of the key neurotransmitters and their post-synaptic receptors and events that give rise to the process.
discuss the excitatory NMDA receptor, the role of the Mg++ ion, and how NMDA activation can produce Long Term Potentiation (which could underlie memory). Finally, what is the seemingly unique involvement of neighboring glia cells in helping to regulate both GABA and Glutamate neurotransmission and why might that glia cell role occur
Before LTP: In the normal state, what is the effect of glutamate at the AMPA receptors? At the NMDA receptors?
