Figure 1: Ultrastructural localization of nAChRs, GlyRs and gephyrin at discrete postsynaptic membrane microdomains under the calyx-type presynaptic terminal on E15–17 chick ciliary neurons in vivo.

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, thereby, ...

A research team revealed in an animal study a previously unknown role of a presynaptic adhesion molecule to tell the new change by regulating postsynaptic NMDA-type receptor responses at excitatory ...
