Axonal kainate receptors regulate the strength of efferent connectivity by promoting presynaptic differentiation

Kainate type of glutamate receptors (KARs) are highly expressed during early brain development and may influence refinement of the circuitry via modulating synaptic transmission and plasticity. KARs are also localized to axons, however, their exact roles in regulating presynaptic processes remain co...
