Excitatory amino-acid transporters (EAATs) terminate glutamate's actions and thus maintain proper neuronal function. These proteins are expressed in vast quantities by glia, but are also present ...

Dopamine may also interact with the neurotransmitter glutamate, which plays a role ... suggest the focus should be on the nutritional balance of our diet rather than the level of processing.

Neurobiologists have made a breakthrough in understanding how environmental factors might contribute to autism spectrum ...

If you've heard of two of the brain's chemical neurotransmitters, it's probably dopamine and serotonin. Never mind that ...

N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are ligand-gated cation channels activated by glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter. These receptors are located mostly at excitatory synapses and ...

Acamprosate modulates glutamate neurotransmitter pathways through an unknown mechanism to reduce alcohol withdrawal hyperexcitability. Acamprosate has been shown to be beneficial in a subgroup of ...
