This comprehensive review synthesizes a decade of human and animal research to explain how the gut and brain communicate ...

Autistic adults show reduced availability of a key glutamate receptor, mGlu5, across widespread brain regions.

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 ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

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 ...

Glutamate receptors, including AMPA and NMDA subtypes, are pivotal mediators of excitatory transmission and plasticity across the mammalian central nervous system. Their regulation, which involves ...

First author Tim Ziebarth shows the atypical glutamate release events on the screen, which were visualized using a fluorescence sensor. Our brain requires a constant supply of energy. A disrupted ...
