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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the brain, what matters is not only whether a signal reaches a nerve cell, but also how long its chemical gate remains ...

Rapport Therapeutics' current valuation reflects substantial optimism ahead of pivotal bipolar mania data for RAP-219. See why I rate RAPP stock a Hold.

Synaptic plasticity, the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time in response to changes in their activity, is a central foundation of learning and memory. At synapses, presynaptic cells ...
