Regulation of Neurotransmitters by the Gut Microbiota and Effects on Cognition in Neurological Disorders (2021, background): “Glutamate, the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, is responsible for sending signals between nerve cells [34].”
Long-term Synaptic Plasticity: Circuit Perturbation and Stabilization (2014, background): “Glutamate receptors are synaptic receptors and consist of ionotropic and metabotropic receptors [2].”
Traumatic Brain Injuries: Pathophysiology and Potential Therapeutic Targets (2019, background): “Members of iGluRs such as N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA) receptor are ligand-gated ion channels that allow Na, K and Ca2+ ionic flux upon binding to glutamate, causing membrane depolarization in neurons (Meldrum, 2000).”
Gamma-band synchronization in the neocortex: novel analysis methods and their application to sensory and motivational systems (2013, background): “Both receptors are involved in excitatory synaptic transmission using the neurotransmitter glutamate, which is the most abundant neurotransmitter for excitatory synaptic transmission in the nervous system (Meldrum, 2000).”
