Age-dependent modifications of AMPA receptor subunit expression levels and related cognitive effects in 3xTg-AD mice

GluA1, GluA2, GluA3, and GluA4 are the constitutive subunits of AMPA receptors (AMPARs), the major mediators of fast excitatory transmission in the mammalian central nervous system. Most AMPARs are Ca2+-impermeable because of the presence of the GluA2 subunit. GluA2 mRNA undergoes an editing proce...
