Ca2+ permeable AMPA channels in diseases of the nervous system

Since the discovery and molecular characterization of Ca2+ permeable AMPA channels just over 2 decades ago, a large body of evidence has accumulated implicating contributions of these unusual glutamate activated channels to selective neurodegeneration in certain conditions, including ischemia and AL...
