Modulation of AMPA receptor trafficking and its involvement in synaptic plasticity and spatial memory
The α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) subtype of glutamate receptors mediates the fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the mammalian brain. Increasing evidence suggests that rapid movement of AMPARs into and out of synapses is the major mechanism for changes in synapti...
