Downregulation of GluA2 AMPA receptor subunits reduces the dendritic arborization of developing spinal motoneurons.
AMPA receptors lacking the GluA2 subunit allow a significant influx of Ca(2+) ions. Although Ca(2+)-permeable AMPA receptors are a familiar feature at early stages of development, the functional significance of these receptors during the maturation of the nervous system remains to be established.
