Glutamate receptors, including AMPA and NMDA subtypes, are pivotal mediators of excitatory transmission and plasticity across the mammalian central nervous system. Their regulation, which involves ...
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of extracellular, zinc-dependent endopeptidases that have emerged as pivotal regulators of neural plasticity and synaptic function. In the brain, MMPs ...
As animals experience new things, the connections between neurons, called synapses, strengthen or weaken in response to events and the activity they cause in the brain. Neuroscientists believe that ...
