Glutamate receptors are involved in a variety of functions:
Synaptic Transmission: They mediate the majority of fast excitatory neurotransmission in the brain. Synaptic Plasticity: They play a key role in synaptic plasticity mechanisms such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), which are essential for learning and memory. Neurodevelopment: Glutamate signaling is crucial for the development of the nervous system, including processes such as neuronal migration, differentiation, and synaptogenesis.
